Even though federation has led to racists and/or NATO defenders showing up, I’ve also encountered a number if very cool people from other instances posting things like helpful advice on federation stuff, vivid descriptions of getting vored by a pack of anthro-hyenas, interesting insights and opinions on Star Trek lore, etc. I still haven’t found much in the way of active hobby communities, but it’s pretty cool to see more Star Trek and furry stuff in the timeline, and I feel it makes having to deal with the occasional deranged lib worth it.

Anyways, to all the genuinely cool people who wander into Hexbear threads, I’m very glad you’ve showed up to bless us with your wonderful posts and I hope you stick around.

      Lol… I have no idea what this means. I gotta work on understanding the in-jokes.

        You know those creeps who call themselves “incels”? That is short for “involuntary celibate”. “Volcel” is a term made in response, “voluntary celibate”. “Volcel police” was made as a joke for reducing horny-posting.

            Well, I think the term originally came from volcels as one of their many ways to decry a type of “fake” incel, but now it’s a joke regarding people being horny on main (and that being annoying and often creepy).

            not the aesthetics, just reducing the amount of horny posting when there’s too many cishet men around.

        On r/CTH, whenever someone’s comment included the phrase volcel police, AutoModerator would respond with
