I read the about. I still have no idea what this community is for. But it's popping up in my feed a lot so figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

We used to post on the chapotraphouse subreddit on reddit-logo but they banned the subreddit after we posted too many John Brown posts, so we started hexbear about 3 years ago. They banned it the same day they banned The_Donald. Probably didn't want to appear biased. We're a left unity group, which means we try to be welcoming to a lot of different types of socialists and communists and avoid infighting. We also have a lot of trans and gay users and accordingly are very pro trans rights.

    Something commonly left out is that the donald sub was already inactive at this point, its users already fled to some other shithole in anticipation of being ban. The chapo sub was definitely explicitly targeted for being leftist.

    A bunch of terminally online commies and anarchists who shitpost too much. If you're not afraid to learn about leftism, pull up a chair while I show you pictures of my hamster. He is a very nice boy, his name is Biggs

    I'm new here and had never seen most of these before and 🤩 wowee wow wow, that's some good stuff, especially Hunter S. Picard and Quarx. Where can I find the whole trove and learn how to post them?

    Where can I find the whole trove

    The emojinomicon and the entirety of its contents does not make itself known to any Hexbear. It is a process of submitting yourself to the Hexbear and, as a result, discovering the words of power to call forth thine chosen warrior.

    and learn how to post them?

    Just hover your mouse over them to see their :emojiname: - but use the emoji button in the formatting toolbar to open the picker which allows you to search for keywords like 'trek' or 'picard' (whereas typing : will only show you ones that match exactly what you enter)

    For clarity - It was a running joke on the old subreddit that the Chapo Trap House podcast hated us, and we hated them and were actually a Citations Needed citations-needed fan club. This is half true - Citations Needed is good shit.

    Our default "main" comm was shuttered I want to say a year in, in an attempt to get people to post to the many smaller and inactive comms. Instead of that happening, this became the new default comm.

    Do you happen to be gay? Cuz we all really miss @gayhobbes@hexbear.net, maybe you can fill his place.

    I had the same question and now I’m more confused. I think it’s something to do with the mycelial network.
