No best puppygirl award smh

I vote for myself, for for every category. I am the glue holding Hexbear together, I am the One True Leftist, and anyone who disagrees is simply envious of my Posting Prowess.

I’d like to nominate @cowbee@hexbear.net for Effortposter for his post about reading theory which got me started with theory. Idk if he’s the #1 effort poster of all Hexbear, but I appreciated this effort post in particular.

1. Le premier(e) sorcier(e) de sixours point net

I think I should get Best Pup

I nominate @HarryLime@hexbear.net for effort posting in particular with the art posts and wolf posts in the General Mega. It takes effort. Most comradely I would like to nominate @dustbunnies@hexbear.net for always having a kind word and supportive emoji

For best badposter I nominate

spoiler

The beanis reading this 🫵😍😘

I nominate TC69 for all categories because it would be funny

I don't live here, but I visit a lot. I just want to shout out @Cowbee@hexbear.net for being extra dope out there in the lib trenches.

Effort posts @Frank@hexbear.net possibly due to knowing a lot of the same stuff so I can easily get a sore neck from agreeing so much.

4. Clearly @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net I don't think there is any debate there

For the others, I dunno

I nominate @Edie@hexbear.net for a category of "best technical work" for always being helpful with tech related questions and for its work on ComLib, which has helped me dramatically with being able to share theory with people on the other side of the great Communist Firewall and my own personal reading

I nominate everyone for cutest poster including myself

I, once again, nominate myself for this prestigious award just so I can be the only two times Hexie nominated actor in Hollywood.

I know everyone is having fun here but I personally find this whole thing tres icky. A literal popularity contest?

Maybe someone would like to explain to me how this won't lead to problems like resentment, big egos, anxiety, performance pressure, tensions, jealousies, celebrity, hurt feelings, deference etc. There are just so many pre-existing issues individually and relationally something like this could exacerbate, or even create. For all involved: who do or do not nominate/comment/vote/win.

I feel bad posting this because I guess that it will be read as maybe I don't like the people who are nominated, that I wish to be nominated etc. Anticipate any criticism, no matter the content, will initially be suspected of pettiness. Or that I am belittling the genuine affection being solicited and shared here. Don't think that's just my own idiosyncratic anxieties. The structure is created in such a way as to disincentivize ~~being the fun police~~ criticism. That makes me really uneasy too.

The idea of recognizing people who make contributions is perfectly sound. I am just not sure this is a good way. Making an institution (even as a quote/unquote "bit") of the idea that this is a place where some people are officially popular is a very weird choice for a left/communist community.

The best defense of this I can anticipate is that it'll come and go and nobody'll remember in a week. And besides it's probably a slow time for the site so fewer people than usual will even see it.

I nominate myself @OgdenTO@hexbear.net for best (worst) Beanis poster, the only category so good it wasn't even mentioned in the main Hexie lineup.

I nominate @Infamousblt@hexbear.net for best BLT recipe (Beanis, Lib-smashing, chapoTraphouse)

I nominate @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net for best all around poster this year

I'd like to nominate this moment where I made an offhand mention of a lib who had their own subreddit for monitoring us and hadn't been active in years, then received a reply from said lib in mere minutes, as the wildest moment of the year. Use the "view moderation history" button to see their comments since they were all removed.

can i be nominated for worst poster anyway
