Hexbear is a left-wing social network and forum. It was created in 2020 as a response to the perceived moderation bias of other social networks, such as Reddit and Twitter. Hexbear is known for its open and welcoming community, as well as its focus on free speech and political discussion.
The site is organized into a series of "hexes," which are like subreddits. Each hex is dedicated to a specific topic, such as politics, art, or music. Users can create posts and comments in hexes, and they can also vote on posts and comments.
Hexbear is a popular destination for left-wing users who are looking for a space to discuss politics and other issues without fear of censorship. The site has been praised for its open and welcoming community, as well as its focus on free speech.

Why the fuck did we call them communities instead of hexes? That's actually way better.
I like @Quizzes comment above, and we should retcon it to "Caves"
I like "cubs" because it starts with a c and is a good analogue to "subs" on :reddit-logo:

lmao we're like the most censored website ever because we recognize that trying to be free speech absolutists just attracts Nazis. Uphold Trans Comrade 69 Thought!
I've never been censored. But idk. Maybe I'm just built different.
Really appears to me that everything after

is just a hallucination (that occasionally lines up with reality). IMO the hallucination problem is way more common than tech booster like to admit, I see it all the time when asking to summarize books for example.
I've used ChatGPT with programming before and actually found that it is trained on outdated documents. It really isn't as accurate as people claim.
It does that because all these systems are is a big statistical model that predicts contextually likely sequences of text. If you think about it that way, it is basically just taking contextual information about this site and linking it to other descriptions of sites with similar context, like other Reddit clones, and other statistical relationships between issues with moderation and the term free speech. That's why it is even better at making up information that sounds true than it is at producing accurate information, even when it is right, it is only right because the statistical guesses that make up the text were correct. When you feed enough data in it gets more accurate, but it also gets better at bullshittting in equal measure because it doesn't "know" the difference. You can try to train it by flagging answers as correct or incorrect, but that is a case-by-case solution to a general problem that is really big and fundamental.
mostly on point with a few just staggering left-field but confidently stated inaccuracies
the future of consensus reality looks bleak
I told it we did have images and it was like, oops yeah you are right. Sorry about that.
How is NOBODY correcting this? Hexbear is a site for liberals and feds.
It is a text-only site, with no images or videos
