Hey y’all, TrashcanOfIdeology formally introducing myself.

I picked the username right after watching the pervert’s guide to ideology and before started having a string of bad to worse, to awful, takes.

I’ve been around since the time the subreddit got banned, and this community has really been amazing in so many ways. For example, I don’t think I would’ve had the information, support, and felt as confident to realize I am/come out as nb had it not been for y’all. So, thanks!

A little bit about me:

  • From the Global South, immigrated to an imperial core nation for a variety of reasons.
  • I’m very, very into food. Almost obsessively so. Not only the act of cooking itself or the growing/preparation of ingredients (i love those, too), but the social, ecological, environmental, and philosophical questions around food, taste, and gastronomic culture and justice. I worked in professional kitchens on and off for several years, did a masters on food and anthropology, and since covid began I have been lucky to make a modest living as a food scholar and supporting food activists. I’ll talk your ear off about any of that kind of stuff, so if y’all wanna talk food i’m your person.
  • I love dogs, and will likely adopt a lil’ puppy sometime soon. As soon as they come to my place, i’ll introduce them to you :)

Great to make your acquaintance

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!
