As a bit though
Most Influential Hexbear – @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net for pretty much carrying the general megathread on his back solo throughout the year.
Most likely to be called a tankie offline – honestly @UlyssesT@hexbear.net, factoring that you also have to push your ideological opposites to the point of this in a conversation, and they're an extremely powerful poster in that regard.
Best in Community Engagement – @makotech222@hexbear.net for quickly whipping up the new emote shortcode search into a prod-ready state days before we were to push the major site upgrade on a whim in response to my post about shortcodes being fucky
