Hi, I'm CatMarki (hexbear.net)
submitted 8 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've lurked on here for a long time, all the way back to when r/chapotraphouse was still a thing in 2019. I have serious posting anxiety, since I suck at it anyways, so I have never done anything until now. I want to try get over that, so I figured I would start here, since a ton of you are cool people.

I am neurodivergent, love cats (obviously), and am trying to figure my life out now after my crappy college experience.

I have always loved the posts and people here, and many of them have made me laugh, so maybe I can get to know y'all more.

Have a good one!

meow-petted Never feel afraid to post.

I think you should post more. They let lots of really low quality posts through all the time. Worst case, you'll fit right in. Best case, you'll post genuine quality and make the community a better place. It's win win. Welcome!

What’s something you like to do? Any cool hobbies? Or boring ones, I don’t judge

[-] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Boring hobbies are underrated.

I enjoy mountain biking and building lego every now and then. Video games too but mostly on my GameCube I've had for 20 years.

(I also smoke way too much but I don't think that's a hobby lol.)

Hello!

There's a comm for getting over posting anxiety now called c/badposting. It's a great place to just post whatever, no expectations of adequacy or anything.

We have an owl that literally pisses and shits everywhere you do not need to be concerned about the quality of posts lol

Care-Comrade Welcome!

I'm also a 2019 r/chapotraphouse user
I've also never actually listened to the chapotraphouse podcast

Just start posting shit. I literally post whatever pops into my head and people seem to like it. For what its worth I like what you posted right there. Its a cool place where I dont have to check if every ı is dotted and every ŧ properly crossed.

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!
