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
I've been here like a month and a little more, and I love the place. destroying what you have for what you might get is a bad idea. you just gotta get the name out harder. I am very online and never heard of here aside from an offhand reddit comment. it seemed like r/cth worked by being on reddit and having outsiders join the sub because they found it via reddit, and here ain't gonna really have that same ecosystem to grow in.
We're terminally online, but the draw is that it's a different types of cancer and sometimes people just want change.
Going back to Reddit after being away for a year made me realize that all online communities are totally nonsensical and look weird to people not subsumed by them.
