Thank you Hexbear for not being like disgusting shit in this pic. There are far too few sites like Hexbear. This is quite sincerely the only place safe for everyone on the left.

Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

You can switch topics (video games, politics, anime, whatever) but the tone remains the exact same, just assholes being dicks to each other and calling each other slurs. Reading this shit is like being stuck in a train car with a group of the most obnoxious kind of thirteen year old boys

Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

it's embarrassing to admit but

  1. i find people sharing things there that would be censored on twitter (such as testimonies from the civilians in donbass)

  2. there’s a lot of reactionaries there but also a lot of alienated proles

  3. it’s the only imageboard I know of that lets you post PDFs, mp3 files, etc… I actually have gotten a few books from there, and given a few books to people there.

Image boards and dark webs are usually filled with fash but contain some of the realest people you will ever talk to.

I jumped ship though because the fash started pushing out the cool people and they all came to places like here.

Cause people there actually talk politics
The comparison is that on leftypol, arguments on theory frequently devolve into OP’s pic, but you still get good conversations sometimes, whereas Hexbear is essentially a permanent dunk tank with no discussion to begin with.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
