Even though federation has led to racists and/or NATO defenders showing up, I've also encountered a number if very cool people from other instances posting things like helpful advice on federation stuff, vivid descriptions of getting vored by a pack of anthro-hyenas, interesting insights and opinions on Star Trek lore, etc. I still haven't found much in the way of active hobby communities, but it's pretty cool to see more Star Trek and furry stuff in the timeline, and I feel it makes having to deal with the occasional deranged lib worth it.
Anyways, to all the genuinely cool people who wander into Hexbear threads, I'm very glad you've showed up to bless us with your wonderful posts and I hope you stick around.

I'm hoping we get a local only general purpose discussion comm for stuff like this
until we get local comms for it, news mega might be a good place to put this stuff as it's basically only us and a few folks from lemmygrad in there.
c/sino is an appropriate place to discuss China. if you see sinophobic bullshit, report it and we'll make sure it's dealt with. and criticism from the left is fine; it just needs to be sincere/well-intentioned.
also, for general or casual discussions, including China or whatever, c/chat is also fine. again, we run it and we'll make sure it doesn't get out of hand, especially if you can help us out but reporting bad actors.

I feel this even more for Russia right now. Can't say anything bad about them or the dronies will take it as a reason the US is justified in fighting them to the last Ukranian.
For what it's worth, most threads criticizing China on lemmygrad seldom have liberals interfering. I'm not sure why, but my guess is that threads criticizing China go against the narratives they often use to dismiss leftist ideas.
once we simmer down, we'll get back to the true internal struggle sessions and left-criticisms
Hey I’m sorry to hear you feel this way i would be super curious to hear that stuff and would absolutely not tolerate racist libs spouting nonsense
