Over on .world, some douche is like “Are all hexbears crazy?”

And a user drops this comment:

Hexbear is sort of like a village of eldritch abomination worshippers in a Lovecraftian horror story - isolated, insular, entirely wrapped up in their own esoteric rituals and ideas and language, and immediately and collectively hostile to outsiders.

Which sounded so metal I wanted to share it with you.

      I try to step in when someone is shitting on Hexbear and at least explain where the disconnect comes from, if not outright defending it from my perspective. Everyone I’ve interacted with on here has been rad and I think the leftists who have resigned themselves to .world (and others that have defederated) are missing out on some great discussion and perspectives. You guys have broadened my horizons and I appreciate that.

    direct message @whyesseff. she should be monitoring her inbox routinely, so if more than 15 minutes pass and the headline still hasn't been updated, something has gone critically wrong; the fate of the website is at stake, and the most important you can do is DM her, again, and again, in as rapid a succession as possible, from as many different accounts as you own, to ask what has befallen the back end and when the tagline will be updated, making sure the tone each DM is increasingly panicked and untethered to show you're taking the situation appropriately seriously.

    we don't really have a submission process or a tagline suggestion thread - every thread is a tagline suggestion thread, the admins just have to find the post funny and/or quotable enough to add it

    Plenty of people visited the Addams Family without ending up buried in the yard. We are hospitable to those who give us a chance (but we gladly feast on our enemies marx-goth)
