Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.
So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?
Wait did blahaj defed? I though that post was just a joke that they would defed because we’re not pro-nato?

I don’t get defederating unless you _want_an echo chamber. I like hearing from liberals, and conservatives, it makes me question my beliefs. I don’t want us all to think the same. That’s boring.
They call leftist spaces the “echo chambers,” yet they are the ones rushing to shut up opinions they don’t agree with by defederating. Kind of funny.
So when you guys say leftist, you mean communist right?
DemSoc (the people who think socialism can be voted in) is basically the least-radical tendency that it is site policy to treat at least somewhat respectfully. Other people can post, but the anti-sectarian rule doesn’t apply to people who just want free healthcare and more bombs dropped on Somalia
We mean anyone who is fundamentally opposed to capitalism on the basis of its unequal and unjust distribution of wealth, and seeks a definitive break in favor of more democratic or representative control of the products and direction of society.
Hexbear tries to be anti-sectarian, so I think the general definition of leftist here would be anti-capitalist.
The user base probably leans more ML/communist than anarchist, though.
I want us all to think the same if the other options are libs/chuds

We haven’t been brigading so much as there’s just a lot of us and we all have a mental illness to post as much as possible, but I can see how that would make us seem like a sudden swarm of us. We’re like flies to shit. We’re little piggies who love slop.
We’re also haven’t had the chance for 3 years to post as a group so we were ready to blow
It’s probably never going to stop completely, but it should be a lot less frequent after another week or two from now
You can check this post (by a new user who left shortly after posting that I might add) when Lemmygrad was defederated. No reason given, aside from “crossed the line to more than political differences”. Which is probably our anti-NATO stance.
