That’s right folks the year is drawing to a close so it’s time to rehash last year’s bit, nominate, and vote for your 2024 Hexies! These are the Hexbears you think exemplify what it means to be a real Hexbear 
Here’s how it works:
-
Pick from the below categories
-
Nominate someone for that category by tagging them
-
If you are nominated respond to the nomination to accept it
-
Most upbeared accepted nomination in each category wins!
What do you win? The esteem of your fellow Hexbearian comrades of course. What more could you want?
The categories for this year’s 2024 Hexie awards are:
-
Best Effortposter of 2024
-
Most likely to be called a tankie on a blocked instance
-
Most comradely Hexbear
This year we have a special bonus category to commemorate some of the new comms we added:
- Best bad poster (this is not the worst poster, this is the best poster that is bad at posting)
We got a lot of new posters this year and have a lot of great comrades visiting from federated instances, feel free to participate too! We love all of our great posters, don’t we folks?
Alright comrades that’s it from me, be sure and do your democratic duty and 
for your 2024 Hexie winners and congrats in advance to the winners of this highly coveted and prestigious award!
And for one small trip down memory lane, here’s last year’s Hexies! https://hexbear.net/post/1477104

This bit was fun last year so I hope folks enjoy doing this bit again this year too, as a bit though

I’d like to nominate this moment where I made an offhand mention of a lib who had their own subreddit for monitoring us and hadn’t been active in years, then received a reply from said lib in mere minutes, as the wildest moment of the year. Use the “view moderation history” button to see their comments since they were all removed.
Awards are a type of liberalism
Id like to nominate gay tucker carlson for resuming our past friendship and being nice to me in DMs about personal stuff when they saw id come back to the site after not talking for a long time, also for the best impression of tucker carlson if he was gay. didn’t want to @ her bcs it felt awkward.
Ngl im slightly tipsy with friends + family rn posting from the toilet, and the main reason i didnt at them was actually bcss i couldn’t work out how to withmy dumb dumb tipsy brain
Does anyone else not learn usernames? There’s me, there’s that one person with the awful avatar so I’ve decided I don’t like them, there’s like 500 names that I recognize but see as essentially interchangeable, and then there’s dirt owl who talks about piss.
I remember usernames, yeah. Especially the one of the user that called me “GrossMichael”.
I’m not gross.
Haha stinky
I’m.pretty bad at them myself. I’ve got some frequent repliers and some here and there but to.am extent I think it’s best to only half pay attention. Things get a bit cliquey otherwise if left unchecked.
That being said I’ve seen @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net for most comradery and credit where credit is due. Didn’t think of it until others did so, but ya seem to really work hard here and elsewhere and generally seem to be there with a decently wise reply for those in need of one. Or you’re just goofy and fun.
Aww, that made me feel fuzzy
Corgis are fuzzy
Yeah, there’s a few main people I remember but mostly everything is just a haze
yeah i almost entirely only recognize people by their avatar lol.
- Nominate someone for that category by tagging them
My goodness, I’ll have a busy time on award night.
@someone@hexbear.net receives all of the nominations actually
I nominated @QueerCommie@hexbear.net for all of the awards.
I accept these nominations.
Bit idea: queercommie gets in because of this
To be generous to the other nominees perhaps we may add an award category entitled “all of the awards.”
Nominating myself for best lurker who posts some comments every two months who is too afraid to make an actual post myself after being bullied on r/chapotraphouse but in a deserved way because I only made posts when drunk.
I nominate @femboy@hexbear.net and @twink * because uhm. Let me be queer
/* I remember they deleted their acc cuz of the volcel bit and I was so dissapointed they took the username to the grave with them
Oh wait no I did participate last year
I’m the best overall poster
Nominating UlyssesT for his life’s work
1: @largepenis@hexbear.net especially for keeping us up to date on Syria + Lebanon over the past few months. wishing his family well, and hoping his kid has a great life ahead of him
2: @seventytwotrillion@hexbear.net for his staunch loyalism towards The Goddamn News
3: @grebgreb@hexbear.net for hextubely achievements, irreparable damage to my internal mental vocabulary, and for taking me as his apprentice at hextube’s emote factory
4: @bureaucrat@hexbear.net for achievements in mass badposting action until the entire bureaucracy got their bus blown up by the CJNG after their business trip in Oaxaca went horribly wrong :,(
i will accept this reward and and additionally extend thanks to all of the regulars that participate in that thing of ours
semper slurp
2: @seventytwotrillion@hexbear.net for his staunch loyalism towards The Goddamn News
My goodness yes. Those megathreads are beacons of sanity in an insane world. And everyone who contributes to them has my eternal thanks.
Wait, what happened to Bureaucrat?
Old yeller old yellered old yeller.
One of em deleted their account
Lmao, honestly a better end for it then getting banned because someone posted something shitty
Yeah it most likely was the best possible ending concidering how many people were plugged into the account.
Maybe the bureaupups needed a supawvisor.

I accept this nomination if @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net does not. Thanks comrade!
Appreciate the kind words, comrade!
Unfamilair with what’s going on with sweet_pecan, but I hope they are doing well, that’s sad to hear.

I understand, I can sympathize with that even just from all the Lemmy.ml shenanigans I get up to and the breaks I take accordingly, I can’t imagine how much more stress must be on their plate from upholding and maintaining the EM_POC comm. Good to see others step in, I know Khizuo and Angel do great work, I know it isn’t an easy task. I hope Sweet_Pecan is in a better headspace now that they’ve stepped away for a bit, and wish them well.
Thanks for filling me in.
I fartily accept, but god knows I’ll have to rethink my life choices if I win
lol
In celebration of the new year I’ve decided to compile my conversations with the North Koreans I have talked to
1 of these was a diplomat and the other is a citizen ,our conversations were different that being said they were very interesting so I will post them tomorrow inshallah
Very interested to see!
I’m nominating @frauddogg@hexbear.net for all categories except badposting, lots of spicy posts and I haven’t seen comrade Dogg miss yet. Love newer users that come in with hot guns
Bad posting goes to either dirt owl or megan (for her bad posts in tracha)

You came over because of the masking thread, right? I’m still fuming over how I made the point that the Chinese Red Army didn’t do the long march just so western “leftists” in the 2020s would find excuses to endanger their immunocompromised comrades, then some exceptionally bad lemmygrad user started saying that I was being irrational and that, if anything, masking in 2024 was like attempting to do the Chinese Long March on your own. Yeah, maybe it is a lonely road to do things correctly when crackers jump at any excuse to continue doing what they had already decided to do and call it praxis because they feel like it! Of course those of us who go through with the logically consistent actions are constantly pissed off.
Anyway, it’s great to have you here. I hope that our own BS doesn’t alienate you, we still have a long way to go.

I miss her badposts that were accessible to those of us who aren’t in tracha
