Hello users of Hexbear!
Some of you may have noticed some new communities created, and one ... deleted.
I now come to you asking if anyone motivated enough would care to submit an application to become a moderator. You may do so through hexbear DM or through matrix DM (instructions at the end of the post)
We are specifically looking for new moderators in these communities (dunk tank, askchapo, memes, chat, politics, electoralism, doomer, covid, fashion, europe, travel, islam) but accepting applications for any community that you are interested in.
Also, if you would like to create a community please comment what the community is in this post or make a post in https://hexbear.net/c/commrequest
You may also use this post to comment any comments, questions, concerns, criticisms, or compliments related to hexbear, its moderation, or the community.
Thank you everyone for another year of great posting!!!

Element information
Element is a messaging app that lets you talk to people over the Matrix protocol.
To get started, check out this link, where you can choose to either download Element for your platform or, if on a computer, open it in a browser ("Launch Element Web").
The instructions that follow are for the desktop application and the web application, but the process is similar on all apps:
- Press "Create Account"
- We host our own Matrix server, so if you want you can change
matrix.orgtochapo.chat. This is completely optional; users who sign up with amatrix.orgusername can still talk to people withchapo.chatusername. (Note: It ischapo.chat, nothexbear.net. Also, registrations aren't always open onchapo.chat; if they're not, just create an account onmatrix.org) - Fill in a username and password
- Hit register, and you're done!
Yeah outside of a couple small subs the trueanon sub is the only reason I go on
anymore.
It would also be cool to have a similar minded community that doesn't have every second user spamming the r word and other edgy shit
That's another good point, maybe I never noticed it before but after reopening the sub's overall quality has felt much worse.
