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! 
Thanks for your original message about this place. I was sure after a couple of days that the powers that be around here had decided I was too snarky to let in, but it turned out I'd just made a typo in my email address 
I'm here. Thanks for letting us know about this place, I'm glad that we have places to crash digitally when the world starts burning around us.
Anyone who does synthesizer stuff or was part of my Trans Synths starter pack over on Bluesky: I might have to figure out how to make that community multi-platform btwn those who stick around on Bluesky (at least for a while longer), here, and a Discord server.
I like the emoji selection here :3
Now I'm here too, and my sleepy Monday morning millennial ass brain is trying to work out how everything works 🙃
Whew. Made the cut. Thanks for the heads up about this place!
Meowdy am here too
wawawa
wher my dorks at
also who do i ask for bun/buns pronouns?
https://hexbear.net/post/4098905 saw this post saying if your pronouns arent listed yet u can msg site admins for help :)
I've made it to the party 🥳
ty for taking initiative sage :) caught your post like an hour before i deleted and i'm so glad i did. we made it
Hi sage, thank you for bringing us here!!!
hey, just got here from Bsky, thanks for the recommendation
This place feels like the forums I used to hang out on back in the early 2000s :)
Hey! Thanks for the recommendation. 💜
I'll apologize in advance as I learn the flow of things, but this place already looks amazing! 🥰
Herro. Am new. Still figuring out how everything works here. It seems great tho, thx for bringing everypuppy over from bsky! ^_^
hi sage, thanks for the recommendation 
it’s nice to be here & try this place out. It’s nice to see a place so queer & leftist centered. I’m not super thrilled about the prospect of losing my wrestling community without there being much of a space here to replace it.
Not sure how many here are into wrestling, but suggesting new comms is always an option here. Maybe there’s already an audience here for this?
EDIT: Wait, never mind. There already is a wrestling comm here.
Yo! Glad to be here.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi, I made it!
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
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.
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! 🫶
It was your recommendation that brought me here. This place is a little different, but so far I love it.
hi friend! it’s so good to see you in a friendlier waters! 
Thank you!
hi im here now, thanks
Hi! I'm still getting used to the place here but I had to end up using a burner + name that doesn't appear to be associated with me on BlueSky, but glad to check things out.
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
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

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.
I'd seen this place before when I was wandering across the web but after being recommended as a haven away from bluesky I finally signed up.
This place looks cool, I've already got lost exploring instead of finishing this post :D
hello, sage. :) keeping who i am a little close to the chest, but i can always tell you in the DMs, lol. i tend to be more of a lurker on reddit-likes, but i’ll try.
Welcome! Just fiy DMs here aren't private, similarly to bsky.

I'd recommend checking out the megathreads - they work much more like a xitter or bsky feed and are really active! Some people just post mostly in the megathreads, it's a very valid way to use the site imo
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
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.
we must always continue to drag queers here so we can subject them to our cute emotes and bad inside jokes 
Take your and your standard-issue mechanical keyboard and head to the posting mines, new recruits 8^7^
To everyone new, welcome! :kirby-wave:
hello bluesky friends
Here is a post that contains all of our communities if you want to check them out
Have a nice day 
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
