Introductions
Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you'd like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.
Rule #1: DON'T DOX YOURSELF - Don't post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it's ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.
Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it's not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don't come here with the intent to start fights.
Rule #3: DON'T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, "chaser" behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It's assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.
Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It's encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.
Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.
If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don't hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!

Hiii! Welcome! What are you into if anything?
thank you!! i read and watch a lot of horror, i play drums mostly punk and post punk stuff and im into my lil dog louka :) what about you?
I also like horror! Well, I've been getting more into it. I've been trying to watch more of the original ones everyone has said are good to catch up on the genre. Usually I see like an old one and a new one. So I just saw Candyman and the Omen for the first time this last Halloween, for example, and then Barbarian. The Halloween before I saw Child's Play and M3gan lol. Eventually I need to see Hereditary (everyone races about that one), the VVitch, and something else classic 🤔 Maybe I Know What You Did Last Summer or something.
Coincidentally I've also been getting into punk a lot recently lol. I'm also into Ttrpg's and video games, classic nerd shit 😅
Ooh! What bands are your faves? I'm an absolute encyclopedia of DIY punk and punk adjacent music. Less so with horror films but if you want some low budget recommendations lemme know
