“I say it all the time folks, Hexbear has the most beautiful posters! Makes the other instances look like losers! They come up to me and say “Mr. President, how can we harness their posting power?” and I tell them, you can’t!”

This is where the r/chapotraphouse posters came when it was banned. Prior to Reddit’s API changes a couple months ago, it was the most active instance by far, which is why we have 3.6 million comments.

It’s a website for chubby, hairy, gay witches. Hex bears if you will.

/ Serious head for a second.

Hexbear sprang from the banned r/chapotraphouse Reddit page, which had a reputation for responding to reactionaries trying to debate their views with mockery.

This made it a boogeyman on Reddit, where the overwhelming majority of users are the kinds of people who take umbrage at being told they’re incorrect and/or uninformed on any subject.

Reddit exodus brought those users to Lemmy. Meanwhile, a subset of Hexbear users are nostalgic of what they see as the glory days of r/chapotraphouse and see federation as a chance to do that sort of stuff again.

It’s a socialist instance that was popular on reddit before we got banned there for repeatedly saying slave owners should be killed and John Brown did nothing wrong (he didn’t).

It’s also by far the funniest instance.

until recently, we weren’t federated, so we’re used to primarily talking to each other. this has been an active community for 3 years.
