Hexbear captures a bit of the wonder of the early days of the internet for me. It's something that was lost in time but has now returned in the year of our lord 2023. Hexbear has quickly become my favorite online community/forum. Its unique culture, including features like 'struggle sessions' about outdoor cats, makes it even more endearing. Additionally, the news megathread is greeeeat.

many people are saying this
Hexbear has extreme posting power and a cohesive site culture like 4chan does, but unlike 4chan, the usersbase isn't made up of weird misanthropes.
most of us aren't misanthropes, but we're definitely weird af lol
i get your drift, tho, this place completely lacks the malicious destruction of any respect for oneself and other human beings that is the hallmark of 4chan
I'm not sure HOW one would be a lefty without having some faith in humanity.
By following one's material interests 
“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.”
It's difficult sometimes, but what keeps me going on a bad day is the belief that people and society can still be better. 
... after all the fascists are in a hole.
If this is the 4chan of the left then where is my zip file entitled "Dungeons and Dragons rulebooks" but is just gigabytes of dolphin porn?
You mean Savage Species? I guess character options that overpowered are LIKE porn...
Wouldn't leftist 4chan just be leftypol?
Yeah, there’s no porn here
Oh yeah /siberia/ is full of porn.
If you ban transphobes and racists on sight, you're just like 4chan. That's why we should be like the enlightened lib instances and let them be.
I read a few threads complaining about hexbear and was surprised to find myself agreeing with a lot of the hexbear users replies.... so now I'm here too 😊
This is the chapo way. Even if everyone defederates from us, we're still the 
and we'll get tons of growth just from libs talking about us in hushed whispers
They always try to demonize us but it doesn't work. Its not like 4chan where you go there and you're immediately horrified.
You come here and people are like "look at this cool mushroom" or one user that has been posting swords for 3 years straight and you're like "ok these claims are greatly exaggerated".
Welcome to the site <3
Thank you! I'm liking it so far
You're literally the second person that's signed up today with twink in their username lol
Hey you know it's a party when the twinks have arrived
twink to twink communication
Wait, the boy kisser isn’t an actual emoji? You should post on !emoji@hexbear.net.
It is, it just got added yesterday
The great tradition, I followed it myself back when reddit was hyperventilating over something called Chapo Trap House
Welcome
"Go back to chapotraphouse" they told me.
"What is a chapotraphouse?" I asked.
Hexbear feels like leftist 4chan because of the aggressive "in group" culture and crude humor (PPB)
But at least you won the argument against yourself. Nice work
Haha you made me look like the silly person! Oh you got me good
The funniest part is when you libs try to do the snarky oneliner thing and only come up with cringe like that.
I'm pretty sure the funniest part is still the ever pervasive "anyone who has any criticism is a lib"
Anybody on here is a lib

Seems you dislike hexbear cause they call you out on ableism, which isn't "in group" culture, it is not being a dick to allies and comrades.
Seems that their default to anything they don't like is to gaslight people with old Reddit "you must be mentally ill" cringe. Gross.
Yeah they're so reddit and that's so bad
Not you though, you're in the in group and that's cool!
Eww, I'm not cool
Okay quick question, did you apologize for your ableism? When my daughter played with someone and she was mean to them they had to make up, did you?
Using ableist talk like
delusional
does seem that you have do away with your tendency to combat your saneism, too.

I guess you didn't finish going through my post history. Yeah I apologized in a shitty way then went to fix it but it was deleted by then
What's the non ableist/saneist term for "not grounded in reality"?
I don't actually go through your post history. You also did a non-pology. Not an apology. That you know.
Still waiting for that till you become a person able to speak with again.
It's funny how all of the most vocal "we must defederate from hexbear NOW" libs turn out to be either racist, transphobic, ableist or all of the above as soon as you apply the tiniest amount of pressure on them.
really no surprise they're scared of people showing actual solidarity with thier victims
This is the first time I’ve heard of Hexbear. Can someone explain what it is?
we're a socialist community with a largely casual/shitposting tone that descended from the banned /r/chapotraphouse subreddit. we've had our own site for about 3 years but just recently federated
