Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.
So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?
A related question: do you ever get that feeling where you say something (if you’re lucky you might stop yourself first) about something that you learned before becoming a commiewithoutorgans and realise it’s ludicrous? I do that so often. It’s like only the new memories and information have been re-framed. Much of the old memories and information is sat in an archive in the back of my mind, complete with a perfectly intact liberal outlook.
Back to your question: when this happens to me it takes a [span of time] to realise that although I have an answer, I don’t actually know what I’m talking about. If yours wasn’t a rhetorical question, I don’t have a great answer other than to say: try to recall where you learned what you think you know and when. If the answer isn’t The Collected Works of Lenarx Dengping and/or ‘recently’, I try to err on the side of caution.
