"Well, no, but-"

"So they're misogynistic? Racist? Transphobic? Ableist???"

"N-no, actually they enforce strict banning on all those things, BUT-"

"So they bully people into suicide?"

"Nooo, they require content warnings for even mentions of suicide, BUT!"

"...Yes?"

"I saw one of them say 'death to nazis!"

Hexbear captures a bit of the wonder of the early days of the internet for me. It's something that was lost in time but has now returned in the year of our lord 2023. Hexbear has quickly become my favorite online community/forum. Its unique culture, including features like 'struggle sessions' about outdoor cats, makes it even more endearing. Additionally, the news megathread is greeeeat.

I read a few threads complaining about hexbear and was surprised to find myself agreeing with a lot of the hexbear users replies.... so now I'm here too 😊

This is the chapo way. Even if everyone defederates from us, we're still the specter and we'll get tons of growth just from libs talking about us in hushed whispers

Hexbear has extreme posting power and a cohesive site culture like 4chan does, but unlike 4chan, the usersbase isn't made up of weird misanthropes.

I'm not sure HOW one would be a lefty without having some faith in humanity.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

It's difficult sometimes, but what keeps me going on a bad day is the belief that people and society can still be better. bloomer

This is the first time I’ve heard of Hexbear. Can someone explain what it is?

[-] VHS@hexbear.net 87 points 1 year ago

we're a socialist community with a largely casual/shitposting tone that descended from the banned /r/chapotraphouse subreddit. we've had our own site for about 3 years but just recently federated

chapotraphouse was a podcast, but we decided that we outgrew those nerds and renamed ourselves after a meme we latched on to for some reason. We do our best to be a safe space for leftists on the internet, as well as an LGBTQ ally space and a vegan friendly space.

We also cuss a lot and say exactly what we think about political corruption/ the violence inherent in the system. These are not incompatible with being fundamentally empathetic-they stem from that very same empathy!

If you ban transphobes and racists on sight, you're just like 4chan. That's why we should be like the enlightened lib instances and let them be.
