I have an account on Hexbear, I also mod their [email protected] community, which has been growing steadily. It's always wild to me to read what people think goes on at the site because, in my engagement with folks, it's clear that everyone is just someone trying to get by in this crazy world we live in. All this talk about "tankies" or whatever, is pretty "online" behavior, and Hexbear often appears to me the least online by comparison. Sure, we're active on the site, but I don't get the sense that many people are wildly active outside the site, many people have negative views on most social media and have no interest in it.

The other thing that people never seem to notice is just how active our [email protected] community is, and just how generous the users can be. There is a real sense of community on Hexbear that I struggle to find on the wider internet. That probably has a lot to do with the relative size of the user base.
