Title.
In my experience there is a great deal of overlap between the polyamory community and a lot of our communities, so I'm sure we have at least some Hexbears that are interested. Also in my experience most polyamory communites online are full of cis straight white people trying to find out how they can find a cis queer woman to use as a toy...knowing full well that is NOT what any polyamorous Hexbears would be interested in discussing, I think this community could add a lot of value to the fediverse by being a different voice than the typical heteronormative polaymory communites, and help drive traffic to Hexbear and to the fediverse on the whole among people who are looking for a geninuely safe space to discuss polyamory. There aren't many, at least not that I'm aware of. All of the healthy polyamory communites I know of are offline, it would be nice to try to foster a healthy and safe one online too.
I'd be willing to mod it unless someone more experienced would like to volunteer, in which case please volunteer, and maybe teach me the ropes, or just take the project on yourself if you don't think I should be a part of it.
Anyway, open to feedback on this, maybe Hexbear is a bad place for it, maybe most Hexbears are monogamous and so nobody really would get value out of it, or maybe lots of people have been wishing we had this.
Yes, this is exactly the kind of thing I'm lookin for, a place to share fun stories about stuff like that, share memes, etc. Also just like, a support group for "hey I have these 3 relationships and these 2 people don't like each other but these other 2 people do and I'm having a party next week how do I manage this help" because there's just like, no good space to post that kind of thing without monogamous folks going "WOAH ARE YOU CHEATING" and cishet poly gross folks going "JUST BONE ALL OF THEM." I have a space in the real world that is queer polyam people only and it's so so validating and healthy and I want to try to bring some of that here too.
But yeah I'm sure a lot of it could also fit in the queer comm. But maybe not everyone in the queer comm wants to see it or participate in it; I know I've had polyam stuff I considered posting there but chose not to because I just don't want to make someone feel uncomfortable if it's not something they understand or relato to.
If you want to foster actual serious discussion then actually ban memes from the comm. Don’t need another lame meme comm
