I am the son of a woman raised by polar bears in the north pole, a man raised by penguins in the south pole.

Grandparents I never met, every one raised by wolves, never seeing another human in their lives. I was raised by MOON ROCKS on the dark side of the MOON.

I did not know the Earth or any other living being existed before this very moon-morning. Independently, I invented language, the iPhone, WiFi, and 5G. I built my very own rocket ship and launched my very own satellite. Imagine my surprise when my iPhone connected to this network, the “internet”, where I found this site hexbear.net¹

I exist outside of any context, and I now understand my true purpose, and the power that I wield. I can end the neoliberal world order with 5 words.

1: Which I also independently invented my own version of, where I wrote comments to myself to keep myself entertained and to practice language.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !howdy@hexbear.net

Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you’d like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.

Rule #1: DON’T DOX YOURSELF - Don’t post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it’s ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.

Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it’s not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don’t come here with the intent to start fights.

Rule #3: DON’T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, “chaser” behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It’s assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.

Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It’s encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.

Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.

If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don’t hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!
