Hey folks, the results are in and the vast majority of active Hexbear users say they are not cishet! hexbear-pride

This survey had the same limitations of our previous transgender survey. This means we do not have the tech to make this survey more accurate through other means (more questions, more options, negative/positive answering, anonymous answering, etc). However, we do have a good sampling of the active userbase (about 1/3rd of daily active users answered) and combined with the transgender poll, we can conclude that Hexbear is an overwhelmingly queer instance that is proud of stating its queerness publicly.

You can see the graphs of the previous transgender survey here:


You can find the raw (public) data of the survey here. Feel free to audit my numbers and make sure I didn't hallucinate anything!

The total tally was

Yes = 114 
No = 195 
Unsure = 30 
Total = 339 

A number of people did not follow instructions properly, and I put them into the category that made sense based on the information they provided.

A number of people used the dean-malice emote which was not in the set of emojis I provided for responses. Most were merged into yes, unless they stated they were queer otherwise.

This survey is a little less complex than the last one, I kept it short and sweet and did not tally the pronouns.

Both surveys were done over three days and were pinned on the front page.


P.S. Thanks @ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml for helping make this a bit quicker with your code here.

I hope you all have as much fun with this information as I did and I hope you all have a great Pride Month cat-trans

That makes a lot of sense to me. Just yesterday, I was on 4chan (not to hang out, but unfortunately it's still the best place to find certain things, so I will do targeted searches to get what I need and get out) and I happened to go into one of the few enclaves that's dominated by women. I swear it was it was like I was on an entirely different site: shocking, but in a good way. People are being nice to each other! No one's throwing slurs around or being casually misogynist! It's still 4chan, so there is some weirdness, but it's a lot closer to Tumblr tone-wise than I would have ever imagined possible. I suppose that's one of the advantages of imageboards--if you want to, you can pretty much just live inside of a few ongoing threads and completely ignore the rest of the site, which isn't really facilitated by a reddit-style platform.

Even if the politics of Hexbear could hardly be more different from 4chan and it doesn't have the same culture of being needlessly rude to each other, I can definitely see how the jocularity and calls for violence (ironic or otherwise) could be off-putting. Tbh, it's not a dialect I'm particularly fluent in either, but I'm more or less inured to it and (unlike 4chan) I don't have to communicate that way myself to be accepted here.
