If you’re seeing this because of my bluesky post recommending you gtfo that site welcome to one of the coziest places on the internet for leftists & other queer folx.
Be chill, don’t be a debate nerd, & we have custom emotes here! 
What happened on the new liberal hellsite
I think this explains it: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/13/bluesky-is-at-a-crossroads-as-users-petition-to-ban-jesse-singal-over-anti-trans-views-harassment/
As I understand it, they’re refusing to ban Jesse Singal, despite him violating the TOS by engaging in targeted harassment of trans people, which means they’re basically sanctioning transphobia on the platform.
Hi - I’ll probably be quiet for a bit while I get the lay of the land, but this seems like a really nice community 😊
This is by far the most pleasant online community I've ever been in. Everyone is super sweet and there's absolute zero tolerance of transphobia which is awesome
hi hello
thanks for the suggestion to move over here, was gettin kind of anxious about bluesky imploding when i had just gotten there o_o
Hello! I'm glad to see y'all
New folks. theres lots of emojis. either click the smiley face on the bar above where you're texting, between the chain link thingy and the portrait thingy, or when you're familiar with what you want to emoji type a colon and without hitting space type a random word to have a box pop up with words associated with it. Example type the following and choose a random emoji ---> :Cat
I chose this one 
image to show where button is
you can also upload image avatars and account banners by going to account settings.
Hihi!! I'm really happy to see a social media platform that doesn't give into fascists' demands and lets them just exist there. Or just let them run free. This place seems very nice :D
fash btfod
Also be sure to check out the trans megathread and /c/traa we have a lot of resources here 
https://hexbear.net/post/3016455
Includes info like demographic information and hrt assistance. We also have the largest trans mod team of any public facing website.
Welcome back, friend. I have only grown more transgender in your absence
Hi! I'm new. Sage has said good things about this place, so I'm looking forward to checking it out 
Hello! 
Hope you enjoy yourself and stuff
we must always continue to drag queers here so we can subject them to our cute emotes and bad inside jokes 
Here to post a link to this week's Trans Megathread that is pinned on the front page for those interested. There are also other pinned posts for people in other communities, as well as the News (serious) and General (serious and unserious) megathreads for everyone. /c/badposting is where we go to post the worst (or best?) jokes we have, so please don't take it as your only impression.
Welcome from the Bureaucracy! We're an account shared by multiple posters with no relation or knowledge of each other outside our own posts.
oh heck yah, full vouch for the trans community here. 
Fuck Jesse Singal
Fuck Aaron
Fuck BlueSky
hell yes. Still in shock that Bluesky sided with a rightwing freak over 20,000 of their users (including fucking Lizzo wtf)
The Assassination of BlueSky by the Coward Aaron Rodericks also hi all!

the guy is just scared of getting his ass whooped by conservatives and their minions lol he's that pathetic
Welcome!

Hi!!! Thanks for signposting. I don't promise to post much but it's great to be here. Now to find out how this place works…

I've arrived, thank you!! I guess I'll be figuring out this website now too
i put this in the badposting comm because idk where else this would be appropriate & i’m kinda rusty lol
To everyone new, welcome! :kirby-wave:
Hi Sage and all new hands on deck! Welcome to hexbear!
Happy to be here! thanks for being cool with me dming y’all out of the blue about this lol
thank you so much for the recommendation, Sage! I didn't realize how much my heart was starting to get squeezed every time I logged on over at Bluesky until I saw how chill this place is. I fight every single day irl to advocate for my crew and it used to be a soft place to land when I got home but now it feels like I'm logging in and fighting the same old bullshit there too when I'm just tryna shitpost and make friends. I'm very excited to explore here! You're the best! 🫶
We love to see it
Hi Sage! Is there a way to view your bluesky post without having an account?
I had to scroll through like 12 pages of replies to find this because we're too popular
https://subium.com/profile/trans.bsky.social/post/3lda6gromkc2h
Also someone screenshotted us in the replies. 
scratching a mark into the lintel
It was your recommendation that brought me here. This place is a little different, but so far I love it.
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
I'm ready for warfare
