I read the about. I still have no idea what this community is for. But it's popping up in my feed a lot so figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

We used to post on the chapotraphouse subreddit on reddit-logo but they banned the subreddit after we posted too many John Brown posts, so we started hexbear about 3 years ago. They banned it the same day they banned The_Donald. Probably didn't want to appear biased. We're a left unity group, which means we try to be welcoming to a lot of different types of socialists and communists and avoid infighting. We also have a lot of trans and gay users and accordingly are very pro trans rights.

@Hobbes@startrek.website this is the actual answer fyi

Something commonly left out is that the donald sub was already inactive at this point, its users already fled to some other shithole in anticipation of being ban. The chapo sub was definitely explicitly targeted for being leftist.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

It was the ultimate both-sides. I didn't even realize there was a chapo sub until I learned of it's closure. Def missed out.

We are also VERY into Star Trek fyi

A bunch of terminally online commies and anarchists who shitpost too much. If you're not afraid to learn about leftism, pull up a chair while I show you pictures of my hamster. He is a very nice boy, his name is Biggs

He is almost a perfect ball

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

He is a perfect ball. All future balls must be judged in relation to Comrade Biggs.

And our Star Trek themed users.

[–] macabrett@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not really a Star Trek themed user, but I do have a Star Trek avatar

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm new here and had never seen most of these before and 🤩 wowee wow wow, that's some good stuff, especially Hunter S. Picard and Quarx. Where can I find the whole trove and learn how to post them?

[–] abc@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where can I find the whole trove

The emojinomicon and the entirety of its contents does not make itself known to any Hexbear. It is a process of submitting yourself to the Hexbear and, as a result, discovering the words of power to call forth thine chosen warrior.

and learn how to post them?

Just hover your mouse over them to see their :emojiname: - but use the emoji button in the formatting toolbar to open the picker which allows you to search for keywords like 'trek' or 'picard' (whereas typing : will only show you ones that match exactly what you enter)

The emoji comm has a pinned post with all of them (as of yesterday/until more get added).

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Awesome!! Thank you!

Edit - omg, I just went there and saw the absolute dazzling array and comprehended the mountain of effort that went into making that post and recognized the username! YOU DID THAT!!?!

Holy shit. THANK YOU. We're incredibly lucky to have you, what a badass.

Our default "main" comm was shuttered I want to say a year in, in an attempt to get people to post to the many smaller and inactive comms. Instead of that happening, this became the new default comm.

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why not? Nobody actually listens to the podcast so it would be dead here otherwise.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

I'll have you know I listen to every episode of citations needed.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

A leftist social platform centered around community building through discussion, shitposting memes, and sharing content. picard-direct-action

[–] Hobbes@startrek.website 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wow. What a response! I am also a hard leftie and like star trek. Glad I asked.

[–] Flinch@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

welcome, friend! picard-pointing

[–] forcequit@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

It's where things that don't fit elsewhere go, also shitposting

It's a community for classical liberals. We support free markets, open exchange of ideas and oppose big government. You are welcome to contribute anything you want to the discussion.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Do you happen to be gay? Cuz we all really miss @gayhobbes@hexbear.net, maybe you can fill his place.

You'll have to fake an appalachian accent when posting

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

like main without posting main

[–] HanDman@infosec.pub 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had the same question and now I’m more confused. I think it’s something to do with the mycelial network.

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

We hook the hexwaterbears up to the spore drive to blackalert jump across the lemmyverse.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! hexbear-chapochat

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Chapotraphouse is a socialist podcast, #2 on patreon.

This comm however is used for shitposting by communists and anarchists mainly, or pretty much anything at all.

We are supermegacommunists and we will make you learn our peaceful ways by force.
