This is actually a plus in most peoples’ views here lol
Welcome and thank you for being here!!! 
danke, am loving the emojis here 
Wow there are so many of you showing up! Not having Reddit brainworms is a benefit rather than a detriment. The only thing I’d say is don’t worry if you get criticism or get a post removed, we all mess up, but the mods of this place have done a fantastic job of keeping it trans friendly and an altogether nice space
you'll do awesome here
Hope you do good, foxglove
Hell yeah, I know theres some other Locked Tomb enjoyers on here (including myself).
Oh also, if you're worried about getting into the swing of things around here, check out the megathreads pinned at the top of the site. They're basically themed chats that are lower stakes and more cozy. Some people basically only post in the megas
advice would be appreciated, particularly from other autistic users cause im bad a processing info but yeah- im obsessed with the Locked Tomb books
Welcome to the autism gang. 
Also, tell me more about these books. Space necromancers??? Sign me the fuck up.
yeah!!! lots of lesbians with swords, some snazzy world building and pretty interesting politics. nona (narrator for 3rd book) is my girl, i love her sm
highly recommend the series 
So glad you're here!
Welcome to the bear!
If someone sends you a counting down gif here that stats at 60 seconds it will end with a photo of a pig pooping on its balls. Same thing will happen if you go to hexbear.net/ppb
Shhhh, don't share the secret Private Posting Board!
I also love the Locked Tomb
I'm very envious that you were never on reddit (if possible, I'd keep it that way if I was you). Welcome
Hi! I don't know if there's any particular advice to give. The general megathread is a good spot for just kinda posting whatever.
i was never on reddit
At this point, that's true for a lot of people, including me. r/chapotraphouse was banned years ago.
welcome, foxglove! have fun here :D
Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you'd like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.
Rule #1: DON'T DOX YOURSELF - Don't post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it's ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.
Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it's not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don't come here with the intent to start fights.
Rule #3: DON'T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, "chaser" behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It's assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.
Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It's encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.
Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.
If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don't hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!
