Hi Everyone, I am Grownbravy

I suppose I'm what you'd call one of the legacy posters to Hexbear. Proud Member of the Megathread and Hextube watch along Nerd Call. Used to be more active, but i've come and gone. Proud to say Hexbear will be the 2nd longest community I've been a apart of in due time and I've been around for a while. A lot of you may know me as a sincere poster, I dont often like to pull links to reply to libs who think they have the handle on historical events.

Little things about me:

I play music, and I record as a hobbyist.
My radicalization was a long long time coming, Hexbear and r/CTH had an appropriate energy for the moments I've found myself in growing up.
I draw and wanted to make comics growning up, and as i read webcomics that itch still remains.
I like to play ttrpgs like 5e, and was a part of a campaign organized on this site, where I gave IC summaries of the sessions.
I love the emotes on this site, and have actually made of few of them.

My favorites being:

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !howdy@hexbear.net

Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you'd like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.

Rule #1: DON'T DOX YOURSELF - Don't post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it's ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.

Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it's not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don't come here with the intent to start fights.

Rule #3: DON'T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, "chaser" behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It's assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.

Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It's encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.

Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.

If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don't hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!
