Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?

Hexbear appreciation comment:

My instance doesn't defederate as a general rule. It has its upsides and downsides -- I still have dbzer0 and lemmygrad, but I also have to put up with occasional bullshit from exploding heads and similar. Gotta say it's nice having you folks pop up in my feed to balance out the bad takes.

See, I didn't know that and randomly picked sdf.org when some of the other instances were having tech issues and growing pains. It quickly became my "primary" account and in all this drama I've learned that I was very lucky in my pick. I definitely appreciate the viewpoints I see from hexbear users.
