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.

@[email protected] this is the actual answer fyi

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.

It was the ultimate both-sides. I didn't even realize there was a chapo sub until I learned of it's closure. Def missed out.

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

He is almost a perfect ball

He is a perfect ball. All future balls must be judged in relation to Comrade Biggs.

And our Star Trek themed users.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not really a Star Trek themed user, but I do have a Star Trek avatar

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not? Nobody actually listens to the podcast so it would be dead here otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

I'll have you know I listen to every episode of citations needed.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a community for classical liberals. We support free markets, open exchange of ideas and oppose big government. You are welcome to contribute anything you want to the discussion.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

It's where things that don't fit elsewhere go, also shitposting

A leftist social platform centered around community building through discussion, shitposting memes, and sharing content. picard-direct-action

Do you happen to be gay? Cuz we all really miss @[email protected], maybe you can fill his place.

You'll have to fake an appalachian accent when posting

The junk drawer of posting

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

We hook the hexwaterbears up to the spore drive to blackalert jump across the lemmyverse.
