I just kinda realized I’ven’t introduced myself before on this site

Also, tis my cake day so I guess it’s time to make things right and tell my origin story:

My account came into major use around here, before Hexbears federation with Lemmyverse, because I was getting frustrated getting into Lemmygrad, which was federated and thus had some understandable but somewhat strict anti-brigading measures around here to register…

Hence, my name… (Lemmygrad allows me now, at least, in federation, and with current account, that I actually forgot existed)

Other than that, I feel if you met me in real life, I’d be too normie to interact with… especially for my age… so I don’t have anything to bring to the table… especially cuz I got stuff to do…

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !howdy@hexbear.net

Howdy! This is a comm for new and old users alike to introduce themselves and what their hobbies/interests are. This is also a good place to ask questions on anything you’d like to know more about, and generally to get acquainted with Hexbear and its users.

Rule #1: DON’T DOX YOURSELF - Don’t post/comment any personal identifying information. Obviously it’s ok to talk about yourself, but make sure there is no information that could potentially lead to doxxing yourself.

Rule #2: BE NICE - Assume everyone making a post here is doing so in good faith. Keep in mind that people introducing themselves may have limited knowledge of site history, in-jokes, etc. Also keep in mind that new people might not have the same understanding of leftist theory and/or knowledge of global politics that you do. We were all there once, so it’s not a bad thing to be reasonably understanding and patient with new folks. Likewise, for those who are introducing yourselves, please have an open mind, be willing to interact and make friends, and don’t come here with the intent to start fights.

Rule #3: DON’T BE A JERK - Any sort of transphobia, racism, homophobia, ableism, or other forms of bigotry will lead to an immediate ban. Similarly, harassment, being a creep, “chaser” behavior, or anything else done to make others feel uncomfortable will be dealt with harshly. Also try to keep any fediverse drama to a minimum. It’s assumed new users are posting here to make friends and not to wade into any previous or existing conflict between instances, so please be respectful of that.

Rule #4: TRY TO BE HELPFUL - It’s encouraged to help newcomers wherever possible, including explaining various aspects of this community, providing helpful resources, sharing similar interests you may have, and suggesting comms that they may be interested in.

Rule #5: USE CONTENT WARNINGS - For anything that might be considered a sensitive topic, please use the spoiler format along with a content warning to give people a heads up on what is being discussed.

If anyone has any feedback or any suggestions for improvement to this comm, don’t hesitate to reach out to the mods here. Thanks!
