Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Residual trauma from other internet spaces being overrun by edge lords… it’s hard to tell what’s in the video if you just look at the title and the thumbnail, and normalizing the bypassing of the slur filter might have unintended consequences especially now after federation. We don’t want a bunch of little hitlerjugend slithering around. But then again, I am not black. I guess we just have to trust each other enough to self-police. This will probably ignite a struggle session
Fuck fascists for ruining shit even in abstentia
You are 100% being reasonable and correct.
Really what we need to control is knee-jerk tone policing by explicitly prohibiting it in the code of conduct. We can probably trust the community enough to filter out reactionary content through reports. It’s more work for everyone but worth it if we get the benefit of more black voices.
It's been 0 days since hexbear has made Othello uncomfortable about race-related issues
I really hate that this keeps happening and something needs to be done to address this. Sure, you're still around, but I wonder how many black hexbears have left the site in the past because of similar issues. I hate how white hexbear is, not because of weird self-deprecating reasons but because imo it shows a clear failure of inclusivity.
This is just a thought, feel free to tell me it's a dumbass idea, but what if we had an emoji specifically for POC hexbears to use in race-related discussions, kind of as a way to say "my voice matters more in this matter than that of white folks"? Maybe this could help avoid some conflict and remind white hexbears to shut up and let people of color speak.
The word is fine. It’s just funny seeing it appended to incel especially since the word has devolved to a meme that describe people who like certain things
