"So, you mean they're homophobic?"
"Well, no, but-"
"So they're misogynistic? Racist? Transphobic? Ableist???"
"N-no, actually they enforce strict banning on all those things, BUT-"
"So they bully people into suicide?"
"Nooo, they require content warnings for even mentions of suicide, BUT!"
"...Yes?"
"I saw one of them say 'death to nazis!"
"So they're the opposite of 4Chan?"
"NO!"
Hexbear has extreme posting power and a cohesive site culture like 4chan does, but unlike 4chan, the usersbase isn't made up of weird misanthropes.
I'm not sure HOW one would be a lefty without having some faith in humanity.
It's difficult sometimes, but what keeps me going on a bad day is the belief that people and society can still be better.

Best way to start sincereposting
By following one's material interests
It's really more the remnants of my faith in humanity from before fifteen years of posting atrophied it and pure obligation
From reading comments of 70s/80s music videos made by the people who worked behind the scenes on them recounting their memories of the process, along with translating foreign social media and seeing how similar shitposters are across the world
I'm a weird misanthrope.
:speech-r:

So we're like the good twin?
Very few of us have the Evil gene
most of us aren't misanthropes, but we're definitely weird af lol
i get your drift, tho, this place completely lacks the malicious destruction of any respect for oneself and other human beings that is the hallmark of 4chan
