First, congratulations on escaping the Bad Place . Some tips to make your time here the best it possibly can be from one of your Hexbear elders :

1. Here posts are called neither Tweets nor Skeets, but rather poops . For example, "Wow, I really like this poop you made! I will give it one upbear!"

2. Mastery of the emojis is essential for communication on here. Hexbears are really only semi-literate, so pictographs are pretty important for getting your point across . However, be warned that new users are allowed only a single emoji per week until they have hit the thousand post threshold (on average this takes about two weeks).

3. This is a website for liberals. However, there is a single leftist on here, and it is me. Hi.

4. We don't have downvotes here . We used to, but they were being used in a transphobic way so we got rid of them. If you disagree with someone make sure to comment and tell them so in such a way that they will be your enemy until the end of time

5. If you look at the top of the website page, you will see a rotating selection of text called taglines. These are all serious and carefully selected by the mod team as representative of our philosophy.

6. This is a nonsecretarian space . Thoughtful discussions and critiques are welcome, but dunking on other tendencies will be removed*

7. Finally, and most importantly never stop pooping. If anyone tells you to stop, keep pooping anyway. Always poop, until the very end.
