Hexbear is the only independent western social media platform that has been the subject of multiple libertarian think-tank pieces and likely CIA operations, and nearly one appearance on Australian national television.

My answer:
When chapotraphouse was banned on reddit many mods and users came together to create a space on a link aggregator platform.
Choosing lemmy the original admin and developer team decided to fork it for various reasons. About a year ago, sustained effort was taken to upstream many of the forked features so that we could rebase with current version lemmy and federate.
Over the years hexbear has become a non-sectarian social media space for sharing news, memes, links, posts and comments with each other as the mods endeavour to make the space welcoming to marginalized people.

...Really?
a couple years ago we bullied a terf hard enough she threatened to talk about us on aussie tv
of course we just bullied her harder lol
I see you cats a lot on c/all, and to be honest, I don’t understand a lot of what y’all talk about.
But bullying TERFs is unfathomably based.

Hexbear is where you go when you finally realise the modern liberals have the same politics as Reagan and Thatcher did. IE, not remotely left.
It is more than a website. It is an idea, a world-historical heroine, light itself. The internet is too small for it.
The greatest collection of emojis on the Internet
Hexbear is a nature reserve for rare and endangered emojis and pronouns.

To me, Hexbear is a megathread where people shitpost and talk about wanting to die
It's piss jokes and mental health crisis all the way down
Peace Rasta 
Hexbear is where I have interactions with marginalized communists who tell me when I am a 
and a
and help me stop. Also there are funny jokes so that I can laugh at things while becoming less of a shitty person.
Hexbear is a big tent leftist instance that really has one main thing: Don't believe CIA or State Department lies about AES states. You can be an anarchist, you just also have to not believe everything that dribbles out of an anti-communist's mouth.
Also shitposting and irony.
oh shit they made a podcast about the hexbear?
Fuck these tankies man. I’m as leftist as they come and I HATE what these people are doing to the cause. We want healthcare and equal rights, and these loonies are dragging us all down with their fascination for those horrible fascist regimes (it takes 2 braincells to realize the CCP is 1984 incarnate).
I’m at the same time horrified and fascinated by them. I saw a comment that accused NATO of causing he war to “drag on”. When I brought up that Russia could just leave, I got people unironically replying that Ukraine was the aggressor in the war and that it was Ukraine committing genocide and attacks on civilians. I understand that I could be trapped in a western bubble… but really? I didn’t bother asking for a source because I’m sure the only source for that misinformation is the Kremlin. What’s crazy is that you would think the Russian shills would be spread out trying to infect other communities with disinformation, instead they all flock to this echo chamber apparently, so it seems likely that they genuinely believe this stuff.
Can't tell if you made this up or is it real. Good job or I'm sorry you had to encounter that person.

hexbear is a floor wax and a dessert topping
Hexbear is the world's first interactive leftist meme! Think of it like the restaurant you go to where the server insults you, but instead of food you get content. We're content creators, we're innovators, we're revolutionaries!
Hexbear is inside you, you are inside Hexbear, Get it!
