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!

I was on CTH but missed the discord (thank heavens, I hate trying to use that thing) but heard about chapo.chat elsewhere on Reddit. So I've been here since almost the beginning.

I like tabletop gaming, both rpg and board/card games. I'm in a DnD campaign now and playing a bard for the first time, which is fun. Some favorite board games are: King's Dilemma, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Clank, The Captain is Dead: Dangerous Planet, Furnace, Spyfall, Azul: Summer Pavillion, Eclipse, Dune: Imperium, and many more.

I like needlecrafts. Primarily I crochet and embroider. I learned how to knit, but I can never remember how to cast on or cast off and have to relearn it each time, and that got annoying. Also, crochet is more forgiving because you can't drop stitches and end up with a hole in your work. My project now is to finally get around to making a dice bag for my current DnD character.

I like music. I love to sing, but my voice pretty average--I'm in the "valued member of choir" range, not the soloist range. But I sing a lot for pleasure, while doing chores or driving, that kind of thing. My favorite music to sing around the house is folk music, since it still sounds like music unaccompanied and it's fun to sing. I also have a good memory for music--it's just about the only thing I can remember--so it's fun to sing a story in 20 verses. Jean Ritchie is my favorite folk singer.

I like it when you guys make me laugh, make me think, and help me blow off steam. Care-Comrade
