Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I lift a lot of stuff from it because they have their finger on the pulse of slop. But like I've seen a lot of casual antisemitism coming from them whenever anything jewish adjacent pops up. Ableism too, like real bad, slurs and all. Yes I know reddit and all that, but it feels like hexbear is the only place on the net not infected by shit.

Hexbear is pretty much the only Internet place I still respect. Ofc it's not perfect but I swear there's not a single other Internet third space that's actually principled

Yeah nowhere is perfect but at least we put in the work to not be scumbums sometimes.

Im certain there are various discords and even smaller forums that enforce no slur usage but as I said most of those arent Marxist or even leftwing afaik.

Hard agree, even other supposed leftist spaces have all kinds of bs and or ableism that keeps pissini me off or at lease making me tired. Today I had 2 Portugúese mad at me and being racist in a post about GTA lol, and saw some menbers of the clan I'm in in Warframe discussing fucking eugenics because someone bought up some bs Switzerland is doing, good thing me and another user were countering the bs there.

Every other social media platform is the YouTube comments section and should be treated as such

The entire world is a YouTube comments section

Hexbear is real life, everything else is computer. When someone tells you to touch grass what they are actually saying is that you should post more on the bear site

It's the only place thst still kinda feels like web 1.0. I still think we should be a BBS style forum.
