  • news

  • slop

  • memes

  • technology

  • games

  • chat

  • politics

  • askchapo

  • badposting

  • movies

Top communities for the last 1 - 6 months

https://hexbear.net/communities

    I have extensive experience in moderation and as a (now former) admin so can I pls :3

    My Answers
    1. This is my hexbear acc :3
    2. I often use any but she/her is generally more preferred
    3. It represents something that must be destroyed
    4. It is the highest stage of capitalism (and the direct consequence of reaction)
    5. Lovely place when the Zionist entity isn’t actively destroying it, ive been there personally. There is a special place in my heart for the workers of Palestine.
    6. They are human rights :3
    7. There is no workers liberation without racial liberation
    8. Most protest movements are spontaneous and often lack a materialist analysis, often doing little more than sapping the worker of revolutionary energy. Protest can be used to organize a mass workers movement but it rarely is.
    9. I strongly sympathize with veganism however due to reasons outside my current control I am unable to become vegan myself, it is a goal tho
    10. I regularly engage with this community and also leftist communities on discord and YouTube
    11. It taught me that when talking to other genuine leftists if you interact in a genuine way thats not hostile they generally wont be hostile (which is a lesson some people in a unspecified community should learn from)
    12. I work generally quite well in teams, I usually tend to listen to other people even if it harms me personally
    13. Generally I work with other people and push for them to get banned, I find that drama is best stopped early
    14. Politics and chat, ideally anything political but im open to anything :3
    15. Ive deeply considered making a new community and I really want to, I just dont know what to make it about
    16. I generally just interact naturally and find that people tend to engage with natural content
    17. I am in the US (EST) and available at generally random times but atm most of the day and some of the night :3 (I should have a better sleep schedule but I don’t)
