Hi hexbears eggman-announcement

I'm a new ML bear coming from lemmy to talk with based and hot people like yourselves. I just wanted to introduce myself and ask for a few advice and what to see/visit in my upcoming trip.

I wasn't sure if I should've posted this here or c/chapotraphouse or in c/chat.

Briefly about me. I was a lib (no but for real) for a long time until I really understood a lot more when I joined lemmy and was introduced to a bit of theory, history, and materialism thanks to Lemmygrad users and Hewbears. I still have a long road ahead of me to develop my understanding of the world and how a socialist society works.

I am not from the US, was never a Reddit user (apart from exceptions), and have actually never listened to Chapo Trap House (but I think I should), so there are things I might not get here but I think this will feel like home still, as I've always felt closely aligned with users here. A big change will be to start using the quadrillion emotes doggirl-sweat

In less than two months I will begin a few-months trip in Asia, Russia and northern Europe. I would like to visit Kerala and possibly Tripura in India, Laos, Vietnam, China, Korea (I haven't delved into that yet), Russia possibly including the LPR (??). At the end, maybe some former USSR states, Sweden and Norway.

This is where I need you, because I need advice on what to visit and see: countries, cities, natural spots, people, historical places, museums, ... you name it! I will post regular pictures and updates on hexbears

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!
