Haven't dated since Chapo subreddit got banned (related circumstances) and haven't been keeping up with the social dogma anymore.

My girlfriend of 6 months asked “what’s Hexbear” and I immediately changed the subject

[–] [email protected] 98 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

none. you don't need a date first to tell people about hexbear. the fact that you're not just shouting about us on street corners is revisionary

Instead of a scarlet letter I just wear a sandwich board that says "i use hexbear" and ring a bell. Accomplishes the same thing.

Sandwich board with a giant PPB on it

I changed my name to Hexbear so I'd have an excuse to bring it up to everyone I ever meet, anyone who hasn't done this is a LIB

Mine is still Chapo Dot Chat, unfortunately

Wise bear. They might just be deep undercover.

I don't use my name on tinder, I use my fucking Hexbear handle and PFP

I'm sorry, I didn't commit to the bit that hard. I am an inferior poster

It's better this way. If the account existed, I would have assumed you and Biggs were feds

i told my partner about it a few months ago and now they bully me for being terminally online so proceed with caution

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Twist ending, your partner is also on Hexbear but they know not to tell anyone

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And they're bullying you here too.

If you aren’t bringing up Hexbear struggle sessions on the first date, you’re a :LIB:

[–] [email protected] 79 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay so about a year ago now, maybe like 8 months, this one user made a post about why you shouldn't disturb rocks in rivers and creekbeds because it's bad for small animals that rely on them to spawn and it got out of control into this wild struggle session about fucking rocks. It was funnier than the Dave Saga. Oh, who's Dave? Shit, I guess I never told you about him, so anyway this user called Shitbird; He types like a bird on the computer covered in shit, it's great, anyway, he had this shitty job one day

no more half measures walter

Hexbear posters disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible elimination of all existing outdoor cats.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago

Get it out there immediately. It's in my tinder profile. I quiz my date on hexbear struggle sessions by text while traveling to the location of the date. If they fail then I just go home and get back to posting. Not gonna waste my time on LIBs screm-cool

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago

volcel-judge this would not be a problem if you were true to your oath

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I would never date someone who would like using this website. The people here, myself included, are insufferable enough without me waking up next to one so they can shout slogans at me and pretend to have read things.

I don't even tell my communist friends about Hexbear and one of them has taught me about transmaxxers and /tttt/

That's right, I consider Hexbear to be more taboo than transmaxxers and /tttt/ even to other communists

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

come on, gotta get those transgenders addicted to bear juice

If you're a Hexbear user, you have to let them know on the first date and definitely before doing anything physical with them or else you're tricking them

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Really depends on their political leanings and how online they are. The person I'm interested in has complained about tankies a couple times so if I ever reference something from here it's "This message board I use sometimes."

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"This message board I use sometimes."

Imagine reddit but without the fascists.

During orgasm it is customary to shout "Hexbear!"

I hope you're not thinking about violating your volcel pledge

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The comments on this post is filled with cowardly libs, anytime I meet a new person I open with "Hello my name is Ram_The_Manparts and I'm a proud user of hexbear.net" because I keep. It. Real.

Do better!

You have to be upfront about it to give them the chance to make an informed choice about what risks they are and are not comfortable taking. If you wait too long to tell your partner that you’re a Hexbear user, it could feel like a betrayal.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

You don't tell them, they find out and you apologize but then don't change your behavior

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My friend works for Vanity Fair and she had to pass on my ChapoMod tell-all expose. Don't see her much anymore for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

Like bring up Hexbear unprompted? Do you think they would like Hexbear?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm dating an actual communist and I still haven't told him that I spend hours out of my day on a reddit clone for former fans of a soc-dem howard stern ripoff.

I actually use Hexbear as a dating app and only date people from Hexbear so they already know

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago
