As a bit though
Uhhhh
tooo hard to chose individual ppl
Number 3 nomination: @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net : Their hard efforts put into the newsposting are a boon for all. Their contributions during discussions I always appreciate.
Okay for number 4 tho: @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml : Prolific newsposter and a very well informed individual. I see them while browsing both hexbear and lemmygrad
@Othello@hexbear.net : Just a lovely person all-around, congrats on the wedding!
My nomination for number 2: @buckykat@hexbear.net : Extremely based poster, banning this user would be revisionism tantamount to the Kruschevite counterrevolution
Second nomination for number 3: @kristina@hexbear.net : One of the most legendary posters on the site. Has a lot of experience organizing IRL. She is also very funny.
@Awoo@hexbear.net : I see her unique moving avatar everywhere, and its always a joy to talk with her. Tied for number 3 for news thread.
@Cromalin@hexbear.net : the largest poster on the traaaa subreddit, and has very good trans media reccs. Tied with Kristina for number 3 in trans com.
Read Unjust Depths
@BiggsOfficial@hexbear.net : Rest in peace, Great Chairman
Number 1 nomination: @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net : single-handedly created half the jokes on this platform. C'mon its Dirtowl
@Pluto@hexbear.net : Great comrade, and its nice to have a Dwarf Planet on our team.
@corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net : The check-in threads are wonderful, and they are a good comrade all around.
Other nomination for number 2: @queermunist@lemmy.ml : hilarious effortposter, braved the liberal hordes, and very very based.
-controversial and removed
@EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net : Hilarious and extremely politically talented.
Okay this is probably too long, but these are ones I felt were worthy of the special mentions
i've been @'d by like 5 different people and it's genuinely making me tear up a little
ur so real for that
I am a loyal follower of your creed

Here we have a 4-day old account listing off the obvious cool regulars and the hexbear mainstays, but then touting a banned user who bordered on wreckerism and who repeatedly violated site-wide rules, comm rules, picked unnecessary fights with comrades, used handfuls of alts to try to evade their ban, and did a bunch of other shit I won't list here. But their banning was "liberalism" and they "did nothing wrong." Very sus.
Have a nice time, and please don't try to start an argument from nowhere, its unseemly.
edit: don't try to reply, i've decided to block nuisances like yourself. It makes the internet better not having to interact with them.
