This is the first time I’ve heard of Hexbear. Can someone explain what it is?

    we're a socialist community with a largely casual/shitposting tone that descended from the banned /r/chapotraphouse subreddit. we've had our own site for about 3 years but just recently federated

    chapotraphouse was a podcast, but we decided that we outgrew those nerds and renamed ourselves after a meme we latched on to for some reason. We do our best to be a safe space for leftists on the internet, as well as an LGBTQ ally space and a vegan friendly space.

    We also cuss a lot and say exactly what we think about political corruption/ the violence inherent in the system. These are not incompatible with being fundamentally empathetic-they stem from that very same empathy!
