I told exactly two people about hexbear.

The first is a friend of mine. This was a few months ago when we were talking about the middle east as a whole and Gaza in particular, back in November or something. I told him that I was reading about this conflict from the perspective of someone who lives in the region, and how that person thinks this can definitely be an era-changing event for the region considering “Israel” is pivotal… how he provided well argumented historial examples like pan arabism, it’s death and the appearance of pan islamism, etc etc. He was definitely interested to read more about this person’s takes and asked me for a name or a link to “his articles”, I just told him “Oh, the guy is called @LargePenis@hexbear.net (Your takes are very good and I always make sure to read them), he’s on a site I’m also in and he likes to make charts where world leaders and categorized following cuck or gigachad lines”. He was definitely amused and told me “You people have your own Epic going” when I told him about the lore of Hexbear.

The second person is someone I know from university. I was browsing hexbear’s news mega while in class and she was sitting by my side, she asked me something regarding class and saw the screen of my phone. Later on, while on break, she asked me “why there were so many trump emojis on your phone?”. I had to do a lot of explaining lmao.

I did meet someone at a State and Revolution reading group who knew the old Chapo subreddit and even posted there, that was in like 2018/19, can’t remember if the subreddit was still up (and agonizing) or if it had already been executed by r*ddit’s GESTAPO.
