First, congratulations on escaping the Bad Place 
. Some tips to make your time here the best it possibly can be from one of your Hexbear elders 
:
-
Here posts are called neither Tweets nor Skeets, but rather poops
. For example, "Wow, I really like this poop you made! I will give it one upbear!" -
Mastery of the emojis is essential for communication on here. Hexbears are really only semi-literate, so pictographs are pretty important for getting your point across
. However, be warned that new users are allowed only a single emoji per week until they have hit the thousand post threshold (on average this takes about two weeks). -
This is a website for liberals. However, there is a single leftist on here, and it is me. Hi.
-
We don't have downvotes here
. We used to, but they were being used in a transphobic way so we got rid of them. If you disagree with someone make sure to comment and tell them so in such a way that they will be your enemy until the end of time -
If you look at the top of the website page, you will see a rotating selection of text called taglines. These are all serious and carefully selected by the mod team as representative of our philosophy.

This is a nonsecretarian space
. Thoughtful discussions and critiques are welcome, but dunking on other tendencies will be removed*
*
This does not include liberalism, Trots (liberals), left communists (liberals) , democratic socialists (liberals), or social democrats (fascists)
- Finally, and most importantly never stop pooping. If anyone tells you to stop, keep pooping anyway. Always poop, until the very end.
It’s just bizarre how much of a presence this guy has. I remember reading one his transphobic articles 6 years ago and thinking: "Oh well, this guy seems pretty unhinged and, even though the narrative is quite dangerous to trans children, this stuff is just too obscure to gain any traction." And yet here we are.
Imagine being a liberal and seeing a dangerous maniac like that join your site and then just throwing up your hands and saying "Welp. I consulted the rules and he hasn't technically broken any. Guess there's literally nothing I can do!"
If the rules allow transphobes then the rules are wrong
Bluesky made a long PR-speak thread that basically said "Our rules don't allow transphobes, they just don't disallow transphobes."
Right? My five year old nephew understands the difference between "following the rules" and "being good" (or, in adult terms, "legal" and "ethical"). Liberals really do have baby brains.
i posted a version of this on bluesky, let’s see how it does
I just looked it up and he DID break the rules. Indirectly calling for his sycophants to harass trans people over there. But of course shitlibs are claiming that, because he didn’t do it on bluesky but on xitter instead, it doesn’t count.
