Maybe it is more than an instance. Maybe it is an idea, a world-historical vanguard, light itself. planet-hillary

actual attempt to answer (cringe)

We’ve been around for three years on a lemmy fork before federation. The lack of federation for years as well as the place we splintered off from (/r/chapotraphouse) already having a unique microculture within Reddit has given this instance, in my opinion, a distinct culture compared to general-purpose and even other hobbyist instances.

Regarding specifics, Hexbear is a vehemently queer-friendly/intersectional anti-sectarian socialist instance. Check us out meow-bounce lea-bounce

    Well like I said we haven't had very many systems or otherkin, so some people might not understand, but like we have it/its pronouns for a reason, because it's a valid way to identify. Generally questioning someone's gender identity is strictly against the rules, and the reason that an exception was made in your case was because people confused you with a troll. You probably don't have much faith in our mods after they removed some of your comments, but I can promise it was an honest mistake, and I believe that if anyone tries to give you shit for it again, they'll remove it. They said here

    In addition, we would like to reiterate that Hexbear is a space for all our comrades, even if you may not understand their experience, please refrain from labeling a fellow user a wrecker or troll. Using conditions as a pejorative is not allowed, please engage in good-faith and remember the human!

    As for plurality, I remember a system actually did an AMA a couple years ago when the site was pretty new, some things have changed and I think some people are more aware of it now, but it might help get an impression of what kind of responses you might encounter.
