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?

Don't feel like you can't join conversations because you don't have all the theory down comrade. We've all got plenty gaps in our knowledge and people are pretty cool about explaining things if required.

Sometimes the best discussions are kept going and reach greater depths because someone asks an 'obvious' question or contributes a 'basic' point, too. The simple shift in perspective can help everyone to see things from a different angle, which is hard to do even if it's the crux of diamat. And we all learn when a question or contribution prompts an even more knowledgeable comrade to swing by with more theory, etc.

Just make sure to qualify your statements and ask questions in earnest. I appreciate they aren’t making declarations without investigation
