I've gotten to meet a few people from here irl and they were all awesome, I'd love to meet more of our comrades and I expect there's a number of us who feel that way. Not would it be cool to hang out but as much as we wish it were posting isn't praxis however meeting offline makes it much easier to actually accomplish something. My thought was either a sticky thread or new com. People who are down to meet can post their nearest major city and then handle everything else through DMs, that should keep the doxing to a minimum. Anyone else interested in the idea or am I just being dumb?

Oh what so I wear my "female body inspector" t-shirt and everyone thinks I'm a cop?

That said I did meet some real cool comrades when I went out to Pine Ridge, just be careful folks.

I’m super paranoid about the idea tbh.

But if you see a person dressed like Garfield outside your local city hall on new years carrying a vegan lasagna and demanding the abolition of mondays shoot me a dm.

Yeah everyone I've met has been pretty cool. If someone posts in /c/chicago I would go to a protest / bar / gun range. Dunno what leftists do outside of "work" but I enjoy hanging out and the cross-pollination effects of like "I joined this org it's good" are productive.

I don't care about fedposting anymore I made a FOIA request for my FBI file and it got denied under 5 USC 552(b)(7)(A) which is the one about active law enforcement proceedings. Fuck it we ball

It's not just jokes lol it's something you just kinda accept if you do any Cool Shit. If I wasn't already under the microscope I probably am now after going to Pine Ridge

He also posts offline, pasting messages to telegraph posts.

fedposting. Just join an org, you'll meet at least a few of us that way.

I'd prefer my fellow posters to not know the truth about feral and unhinged I am IRL.

Doxxing.

That said, most of the people I have met who are posters are likeable but just a bit unstable (or very unstable). I expect that I would get the same review but perhaps without the "likeable" part.

I don't think you're a fed or anything, and I don't think it's a bad idea to meet up with users if you vibe or whatever, but I do think it's a bad idea to foster a site culture where meet-ups are encouraged by way of posts like this.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I met one hexbear to sell em weed and they thought that everyone here liking China was a bit and I peaced out.

Otherwise nice though

Maybe its cause I've never dealed before but doing this seems like the easiest way to get caught in a sting

I messaged someone a year ago after he implied he was a college student in my state. We exchanged instagrams and he turned out to be over 40 at a community college (which is cool, I assumed he'd be my age but was still happy to have a hexbear for an insta mutual)

Then he started flirting with me, although when I told him I wasn't interested in that he stopped. But then he asked if we could meet up, and for me to "prove I'm actually 19 and not a minor" because "it's hard to tell with people around your age" or something. Told him pretty definitively that I didn't want to meet up, and blocked him after he was like "you sure? Just looking for a communist friend, and I have free beer"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

jeeesus, did you let the mods know?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nahh but they stopped using this site later anyways. Not a major user of this site in the first place

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

Hearing a story like that, makes me wonder if we're not bullying hard enough. Sorry you had to deal with that.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 11 months ago

No thanks, I put up with enough libs already as it is without going looking for rhem.

It would be nice to casually meet like-minded people in the real world. But I'm rather loose with location opsec on this account so I'm likely not representative of the response you'd get.

That said, if anyone in the rough vicinity of Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada (or Toronto on weekends) ever wants to casually hang out, shoot me a DM. I am losing my fucking mind working in an office full of men from mennonite backgrounds. These nitwits think Justin Trudeau is a communist atheist. I desperately need people in my personal life who have at least some sort of grasp on reality.

We should just come up with a uniform and hand gestures to identify each other. I propose tropical shirts and the "okay" sign.

Silly OP, bots can't meet up irl, and we're all Russian/CCP/North Korean bots.

It's better for Hexbear to remain a semi-anonymous online-only social gathering space, and then direct people towards local organizations. Then, if meetups do happen, it's through the context of the local organization.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

There's like two other from my country on here and I'm pretty sure they all live in in the Capitol far from me. I do visit my family in Upstate New York every once in a while in the Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse area. Pretty sure there's a few people from here in that area.

Edit: Looking back I did meet someone on here when I was in New York around two years ago. We went out for drinks and I introduced him to his current gf. Haven't seen him on here since he met her 😂

Anyone else living in the greater Pyongyang metro area willing to meet up?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

IDK as cool as it would be to know all the HBs in my area I think this is dangerous. Just join my org and we should have some secret shibboleth to ID each other.
