Even though federation has led to racists and/or NATO defenders showing up, I've also encountered a number if very cool people from other instances posting things like helpful advice on federation stuff, vivid descriptions of getting vored by a pack of anthro-hyenas, interesting insights and opinions on Star Trek lore, etc. I still haven't found much in the way of active hobby communities, but it's pretty cool to see more Star Trek and furry stuff in the timeline, and I feel it makes having to deal with the occasional deranged lib worth it.
Anyways, to all the genuinely cool people who wander into Hexbear threads, I'm very glad you've showed up to bless us with your wonderful posts and I hope you stick around.
How about you watch this video about what's actually been going on in Ukraine, that Western media (including all their big tech proxies) has basically censored with a conspiracy of silence on reporting: Ukraine Targets Elon Musk, US Aid Dwindles, Ukraine's Offensive Increasingly Depleted
What ever lack of respect you have for Russia (or anybody, for that matter), you should take that up in the form of airing your grievances in a precise and targeted approach to what exactly you don't like about them or their actions. It is unnecessary to use lowercase when referring to a person or a people's proper identity, as it suggests they are of a lesser or illegitimate race/status. There's acceptable processes for showing you have a dispute with a person or entity (Russian government, for instance), and refusing to capitalize someone's name or race isn't one of them. You've been manipulated into a practice that is against people's fundamental right of having their humanity recognized.
You seriously have to ask yourself if this is worth it, continuing down this path. Do you really want to be remembered this way?
