  1. We are officially a left-unity community. Anarchists and Marxist-Leninists etc. all welcome, but we don't tolerate right-wing/liberal ideology that contributes to the suffering of the exploited workers of the world.

  2. It's more so a place for leftists to hang out and chat and spread news/content. A bit of both ig.

  3. The people calling us tankies and nazis simultaneously are mostly doing so out of a disingenuous liberal attempt to position anybody to the left of them as being on the right of them, while they are the truly enlightened ones. The shitposting is only ever a response to people who are being disingenuous with their arguments and refusing to have genuine discourse.

I guess I'm gonna hang out a lot with you guys, sounds like you're "the actual cool kids" while I'm just a .ml normie :'(

Also, the lemmyverse is a much happier place (for me at least) with you guys around!

[-] forcequit@hexbear.net 71 points 1 year ago

we're glad to have you!

Hexbear's a years-old instance, we've developed a solid culture and genuinely care for one another, pseudoanonymity notwithstanding. We're good people and better posters imo

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 year ago

I'mma stick around and learn a lot (especially on how to pester and dunk on libs) โœจโœจ

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Check out the News Megathread. There's a huge amount of analysis and discussion about current events in those threads, going back years and years. There's shitposts, too, but we've got a huge body of analysis backed up with the best sources we can find, often dealing with important local, national, and geopolitical issues from a very different perspective than major media outlets and western governments. It can give you a lot of ammo to back up your points in disscussions of current events. And even if you don't agree with some of it, you can look at the sources folks are pulling from and use those to test and reinforce your own positions.

I subscribed to most of your communities just to get more exposed to content from ML perspective. As much as I also love Lemmygrad, they don't (yet) have the sheer number of people. I want the few hours/week I spend on Lemmy to be both entertainment and enlightening, and from what I've seen the content you guys put up has plenty of both~

Everything is gonna be SFW, my darlings are precious~

Personally Identifiable Information. NSFW is fine(ish) provided it's appropriately marked as such (content warnings, NSFW checkbox on posts, placing within spoiler tags etc.

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Ah, I get it now, new acronym for me. Thanks a bunch, and I'll be sure to be careful with the pics, ~~place black bars over their eyes~~ and erase metadata wherever needed.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, opsec is a thing here. It's technically illegal to be a communist in the usa, along with a number of other places. Communists aren't allowed to enter the us, either. And a lot of people here are part of oppressed minorities. In general it's a good idea to do what you can to keep your actual identity obfuscated. Some people create new accounts on a regular basis to make it harder to sift through their posts for personal identifying information.

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I understand completely, and protecting yourself also protects your comrades. I already use some privacy oriented tools, but I still have loads of room to improve. Getting my old laptop to work again and use as a VPN or something similar is one of my goals for this year.

And thanks again for the safety tips ๐Ÿ’–

If your free on friday, come to movie night

No idea what we're watching yet but it's usually pretty good

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

The movie nights are a total blast

[-] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Cytube is where I go when I'm incredibly drunk and my partner is asleep and my god it's the greatest place to hang out and knuckle through the spins with my comrades soviet-heart

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

I'll try my best to do so, can't promise because currently the house's on metaphorical fire (one hospitalized cat and another waiting for tooth extraction surgery), but I'mma try to at leas hang around โค๏ธ

https://live.hexbear.net/ <- The hexbear cinema Movies on Fridays & Sundays, Anime nights Saturday, and a random assortment of bullshit on occasionally. Anyone can queue a video, so if you want you can make a post and organize an impromptu movie night basically whenever. If you post it, they will come.

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ooohh, sweet. Gotta dig up some old VHS anime now to plant there~

I personally love our new .ml friends

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago

It's a lovely day to meet new friends and laugh at libs โœจ

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Careful, if you spend too much time here you'll learn to speak our emoji language!

[-] Marxine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I'm still getting the hang on how links and stuff on the fediverse works (and how Jerboa works with it as well since I basically only use Lemmy on mobile), but you guys have some YUMMY emojis over there!

[-] ChestRockwell@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

The left-unity-4 is the magic of hexbear. We love our anarchist comrades kropotkin-shining
