Hexbear is the only independent western social media platform that has been the subject of multiple libertarian think-tank pieces and likely CIA operations, and nearly one appearance on Australian national television.

My answer:
When chapotraphouse was banned on reddit many mods and users came together to create a space on a link aggregator platform.
Choosing lemmy the original admin and developer team decided to fork it for various reasons. About a year ago, sustained effort was taken to upstream many of the forked features so that we could rebase with current version lemmy and federate.
Over the years hexbear has become a non-sectarian social media space for sharing news, memes, links, posts and comments with each other as the mods endeavour to make the space welcoming to marginalized people.

...Really?
a couple years ago we bullied a terf hard enough she threatened to talk about us on aussie tv
of course we just bullied her harder lol
I see you cats a lot on c/all, and to be honest, I don’t understand a lot of what y’all talk about.
But bullying TERFs is unfathomably based.

The first two are actually about the old chapotraphouse subreddit from which this place was born.

The sharp rise in Violent/Aggressive Discourse in the Extreme Left is an artifact of the inclusion of Hexbear.net.
Hexbear is more than just a social media space .it’s a community built from care, connection, and freedom.
After the ChapoTrapHouse community was banned from Reddit, people came together to create something of their own a space where voices wouldn’t be silenced, where everyone especially marginalized people could feel seen, heard, and safe. Hexbear runs on Lemmy, an open-source platform meaning it’s not controlled by big companies or ads. It’s shaped by real people, for real community. Here, people share news, memes, personal stories, and ideas without fear of judgement or censorship. It’s a home for those who care about justice, kindness, and building something better together. If you’re looking for a space where you can just be yourself, connect with others, and feel part of something real Hexbear is here for you.

You ask what is hexbear, when what we really need to be asked is how is hexbear.
I'm alright, comrade. Sometimes I just want to cry. Things are peaceful and looking up for me right now. I try to be positive and thankful and sometimes it's hard.
