Hexbear captures a bit of the wonder of the early days of the internet for me. It's something that was lost in time but has now returned in the year of our lord 2023. Hexbear has quickly become my favorite online community/forum. Its unique culture, including features like 'struggle sessions' about outdoor cats, makes it even more endearing. Additionally, the news megathread is greeeeat.

Hexbear has extreme posting power and a cohesive site culture like 4chan does, but unlike 4chan, the usersbase isn't made up of weird misanthropes.
I'm not sure HOW one would be a lefty without having some faith in humanity.
It's difficult sometimes, but what keeps me going on a bad day is the belief that people and society can still be better.

Wouldn't leftist 4chan just be leftypol?
Yeah, there’s no porn here
Oh yeah /siberia/ is full of porn.
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
We're a DS9 fansite
This is the way.
A site dedicated to 
I think I’m understanding now 
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!

If you ban transphobes and racists on sight, you're just like 4chan. That's why we should be like the enlightened lib instances and let them be.
The only good nazi is in the 
, same goes for transphobes, but I repeat myself.
