I thought we should do a welcome post for our new trans posters! We're all excited to have you all here cat-trans

Let me direct you first to the trans mega, it's a very cozy place for trans people to post and you don't necessarily have to post about being trans there (though of course there is lot of gender happening in there at all times!) doggirl-thumbsup

For an even more relaxed and chat-based setting, there's Tracha, aka our Matrix-based chat. Read the rentry for more information!

Finally, if you use pronouns that are not yet available to be selected, please DM the site admins and they are very happy to help! My own pronouns (ze/zir) weren't on the site till I asked for them.

We hope you all have fun and enjoy the community here! lea-bounce

hello! the chat sounds interesting i will look into that tomorrow.

right now im just trying to get used to this site because its so different to anything else ive used before, haha. im glad to be here, so thanks to Sage for letting everybody know about it, looking forward to having a place online where i dont have to see constant transphobia and abuse of minorities every day. :(

(apologies in advance for vent/language) I am almost 50. Transitioning is a relatively recent thing. I spent years on Twitter. Last month I left for what I thought would be bluer, safer skies. Then the pedo apologist came and was allowed to stay, even after explicitly stating he was intent on making life hell for us. I'm tired. I'm just fucking tired. And then someone told me about this place. After just over a day, I'm loving it. But, being frank, I'm still a touch wary . But the energy is.....hopeful? Make sense?

Was anyone able to join Tracha recently? I tried a couple of times, but it just says that I'm not invited catgirl-cry

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Ok try it now. I think we were able to fix it. Apologies for the issues btw.

[-] zeitgeistmistress@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

No worries! Yup, it works now, thank you

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Yayyyy!!!!

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Hi! What’s your matrix just curious? I can invite you right now until we get the room stuff figured out. You can DM it to me if you’d like.

[-] revellalaerson@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

[-] Inki@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Hiya! Excited to be here. Seems really nice so far

[-] kandyelmo@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago

aaaaaaaaaaaa hi, can't wait to figure all this out! heard a lot of good things! <3

[-] athie_gnome@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Thanks! This seems like a fun and cool place.

[-] Gingerpuss@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Seems lighthearted so far. I'm still trying to figure out all the buttons haha

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I'm in the process of trying to familiarize myself with this place. I attempted to join the group chat, but can't seem to get it to work. I get an error message.

[-] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'll send you an invite and see if that works!

Edit: Forgot that I switched accounts and no longer have mod permissions. I'll get it to work!

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Thanks

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

I've sent you an invite, let me know if there are any further issues catgirl-heart

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

It looks like the invite worked. I’m not getting the error message and have some text that says loading pinned messages. However there might be an issue as nothing is loading. I’ll check again tomorrow. Thank you.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

No problem. If you're new to matrix, you may need to verify your device before things show up. Also messages from before you joined will probably not show up

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

It worked, thanks again.

[-] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Try DMing me on matrix. I'm @ashenwolf:matrix.org, it's also on my profile, and if you haven't gotten in yet I'll do what I can in the morning. There seems to be some sort of issue as of right now though.

[-] char_deferred@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Thanks, I think you’re right about there being an issue. It looks like the invite worked, but nothing is loading at the moment.

[-] The_Real_Pinko_Scum@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

Hello! This whole site is gonna take a lot of getting used to.

[-] Eve_Rising@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago

Thank you! It seems a cool and fun place to be!

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

Also if it’s alright I’m real quickly gonna plug https://hexbear.net/c/howdy here which is a comm for introducing yourself (but only if you’re comfortable doing so of course). transshork-happy

[-] khizuo@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

Ty for the plug! Honestly I've never made an intro post myself...

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago

Well, you’re always welcome to of course if you ever feel up to it. Also ty for making this post btw. catgirl-heart

[-] RION@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Is that where all the new folks are coming from? Was there a recruitment drive or something?

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Bluesky is having some issues with a transphobe, so a relatively popular left-wing account posted about a partial move to Hexbear. That's my understanding, at least.

[-] RION@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Swag

I mean not the transphobe stuff but swag that people are coming here
