First, congratulations on escaping the Bad Place . Some tips to make your time here the best it possibly can be from one of your Hexbear elders :
-
Here posts are called neither Tweets nor Skeets, but rather poops . For example, “Wow, I really like this poop you made! I will give it one upbear!”
-
Mastery of the emojis is essential for communication on here. Hexbears are really only semi-literate, so pictographs are pretty important for getting your point across . However, be warned that new users are allowed only a single emoji per week until they have hit the thousand post threshold (on average this takes about two weeks).
-
This is a website for liberals. However, there is a single leftist on here, and it is me. Hi.
-
We don’t have downvotes here . We used to, but they were being used in a transphobic way so we got rid of them. If you disagree with someone make sure to comment and tell them so in such a way that they will be your enemy until the end of time
-
If you look at the top of the website page, you will see a rotating selection of text called taglines. These are all serious and carefully selected by the mod team as representative of our philosophy.
-
This is a nonsecretarian space . Thoughtful discussions and critiques are welcome, but dunking on other tendencies will be removed*
*
This does not include liberalism, Trots (liberals), left communists (liberals) , democratic socialists (liberals), or social democrats (fascists)
- Finally, and most importantly never stop pooping. If anyone tells you to stop, keep pooping anyway. Always poop, until the very end.
Me sitting here with only 300 comments after 4.5 years
I’m on 43,000 and I don’t think I’m in the top ten.
Ooh! Just saw I’m 5 posts away from my 1000th
I hope you enjoyed your one emoji for the week
Be gay, do crimes!
MODS? MODS??
Oh no new users have seized the strategic emoji stockpile and are returning the emojis to the people!
the whole point of hexbear is to amass as much arcane knowledge of emoji shortcodes as you can to increase your posting power
I’m at 98 (99 now) in just over 3 years.
99 328
we should be in awe of your zen in the tradition of !chapotraphouse3@hexbear.net
Good job, you used up your one (1) allotted emoji for the week on this
