A friend sent me a spicy enough meme and I thought “heh, they are ready for HexBear”. So I almost sent them a link and then I thought “hold on, maybe they are put off by something, let’s check”; so made the little mental exercise of trying to discover hexbear for the first time.
Good lord, there’s too much terminally online shit, anybody sane would be repelled.
I lied there was no effort post
:rat-salute: meme game will always operate on layers of online shit though, post in theory posts and learn stuff :rat-salute:
:gold-communist:
I agree, we should make this place more welcoming to newbies. We should put an FAQ in the sidebar and make a new comm for newbies to introduce themselves and ask questions.
I dunno man I think my shitposts are about as low hanging as you can get
But what’s the point of this place if not a niche forum for extremely online leftists? I’m not very online myself, but one of the reasons I come here is to learn about all the ridiculously online bullshit I’d never ever see otherwise! It’s like being able to be extremely online without any of the downsides
You are totally right, is just the community is so cool I would love to share it with cool people stranded in shit communities where there are always a bunch of reactionary dipshits posting or commenting shit.
Exactly like what I found in r/chapotraphouse: a place that suddenly was mostly free of shitheads and made fun of idiots, made me laugh a lot and also taught me weird shit. A cool oasis.
Really r/cth showed me how fucking easy is to root out reactionary bullshit when you really want to get rid of it
