As a bit though
You must log in or # to comment.
Not to be too cornball, but there is a core to hexbear. SFS has consistently embodied it since chao.chat days. Comedy is always spot on. One liners are consistently bangers. I mean the guy makes me crack up but also seethe at the same time. Is that not the raison d’être of hexbear? There’s also the human vulnerability. Some here are open about some of the shit they’ve gone through in life, and SFS has been through some fucking hell. I have a lot of respect for that. A good person, a comrade and a comic. There are a number of people here who the site is lucky to have posting. SorosFootSoldier is undeniably one of them.
Also, this whole post is pretty disgusting popularity contest bullshit imo. Still, there are some awesome posters here and there who deserve some sort of meta-recognition.
Thank you comrade, appreciate that
Best new site tagline: https://hexbear.net/comment/4409184
Do you want to say that to my face? I was first in my class at the Kurgan State Metallurgical Institute. I designed an alloy that has been used in munitions that have killed fascists across the globe. Do you see that Lada over there? The one with the rear end almost dragging on the ground? That’s because the trunk is loaded with the various AKs I used while fighting the Taliban in the 1980s, personally field testing new shell casings. You probably thought you were just making a little joke. Well, that’s fine. The revolutionary moment has passed, for now. Can I get like 10 bucks? I need gas to get to Ramallah.
Edit: Replied to the wrong comment twice. Anyway, don’t call the wrong person an imperialist ghoul when you’re at the bar.

I feel like hot, dry, dusty assholes right now for mortality related reasons, which makes me think of @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net
Welcome to 2024 huh
Uhhhh
tooo hard to chose individual ppl
Number 3 nomination: @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net : Their hard efforts put into the newsposting are a boon for all. Their contributions during discussions I always appreciate.
Okay for number 4 tho: @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml : Prolific newsposter and a very well informed individual. I see them while browsing both hexbear and lemmygrad
@Othello@hexbear.net : Just a lovely person all-around, congrats on the wedding!
My nomination for number 2: @buckykat@hexbear.net : Extremely based poster, banning this user would be revisionism tantamount to the Kruschevite counterrevolution
Second nomination for number 3: @kristina@hexbear.net : One of the most legendary posters on the site. Has a lot of experience organizing IRL. She is also very funny.
@Awoo@hexbear.net : I see her unique moving avatar everywhere, and its always a joy to talk with her. Tied for number 3 for news thread.
@Cromalin@hexbear.net : the largest poster on the traaaa subreddit, and has very good trans media reccs. Tied with Kristina for number 3 in trans com.
Read Unjust Depths
@BiggsOfficial@hexbear.net : Rest in peace, Great Chairman
Number 1 nomination: @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net : single-handedly created half the jokes on this platform. C’mon its Dirtowl
@Pluto@hexbear.net : Great comrade, and its nice to have a Dwarf Planet on our team.
@corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net : The check-in threads are wonderful, and they are a good comrade all around.
Other nomination for number 2: @queermunist@lemmy.ml : hilarious effortposter, braved the liberal hordes, and very very based.
-controversial and removed
@EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net : Hilarious and extremely politically talented.
Okay this is probably too long, but these are ones I felt were worthy of the special mentions
The banning of this user is extreme liberalism. Did nothing wrong. Would be my nomination for number 2 otherwise.
Here we have a 4-day old account listing off the obvious cool regulars and the hexbear mainstays, but then touting a banned user who bordered on wreckerism and who repeatedly violated site-wide rules, comm rules, picked unnecessary fights with comrades, used handfuls of alts to try to evade their ban, and did a bunch of other shit I won’t list here. But their banning was “liberalism” and they “did nothing wrong.” Very sus.
Have a nice time, and please don’t try to start an argument from nowhere, its unseemly.
edit: don’t try to reply, i’ve decided to block nuisances like yourself. It makes the internet better not having to interact with them.
Removed by mod
blocked
i’ve been @'d by like 5 different people and it’s genuinely making me tear up a little
read unjust depths
ur so real for that
I am a loyal follower of your creed
Oh! 🥰
I have seen you arguing with many libs, keep up the good work
-
@Cromalin@hexbear.net for the good trans memes
-
@UlyssesT@hexbear.net is most likely to be called a tankie because he is not afraid to voice his opinion and never backs down.
-
@WhyEssEff@hexbear.net obviously, and @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net always brings good vibes
-
@polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml for being a overall friendly fellow. Special mention to @RedWizard@lemmygrad.ml for being a commie wizard
But really there are too many that I could list. @Infamousblt@hexbear.net @Goadstool@hexbear.net @Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net @Pluto@hexbear.net @Alaskaball@hexbear.net @Nakoichi@hexbear.net @knifestealingcrow@hexbear.net @Shitbird@hexbear.net @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net @Grownbravy@hexbear.net @Zoift@hexbear.net @TomboyShulk@hexbear.net @Melina@hexbear.net @Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net @wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net @Mabbz@hexbear.net @itsPina@hexbear.net @ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net @Owl@hexbear.net @BeamBrain@hexbear.net @FourteenEyes@hexbear.net @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net @autismdragon@hexbear.net @Awoo@hexbear.net @Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net and @Othello@hexbear.net are all good people and there are probably more I missed. There are too many of you nerds. Sheesh.
god i miss @Shitbird@hexbear.net
UlyssesT did also go on an
tour and redact Kissinger. I think he’s zeroing in on the Star Citizen guy next.
-
number 1 @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net for the emotes fr tho
site would be meaningless without her constant effort
- @transcomrade69@hexbear.net . I joined hexbear after she left but I will always miss her nonetheless. What a great comrade
- @ulyssest@hexbear.net because he killed Henry Kissinger. Only a true tankie would do such a thing
- @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net for the megas. Honestly fantastic work.
- @yogthos@lemmy.ml is a renowned comrade, the first non-chapo to make a megathread, and my personal pick for #4.
Honorary mentions/lightning round: For people who contribute to the site’s culture and shape the experience of being a chapo.

Speaking of Sankara, @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net what did you do?

People from alternate timelines do be making me mad when they are wrong about things that happened.
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net for 1 for keeping piss jokes alive and @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net for 2 for completing the Mazovian Socio-Economics Thought irl

I nominate myself, @MargotRobbie@lemm.ee for category 4, so that’s “esteemed Hexie Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie”.
(And @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net for 1)
If the Oscar nominations were this easy… Sigh.
1. Most Influential Hexbear - @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net
An essential facet of Hexbear culture. This is a different, better place with him.

It is the end of 2023 and Stalin saved the world from fascism.
