Hexbear appreciation comment:
My instance doesn't defederate as a general rule. It has its upsides and downsides -- I still have dbzer0 and lemmygrad, but I also have to put up with occasional bullshit from exploding heads and similar. Gotta say it's nice having you folks pop up in my feed to balance out the bad takes.
love seeing allies from other instances. 
I’ve learned a lot from lurking the unfettered conversation that happens here, subjects that I’ve never heard of discussed in great detail. The shitposting is next level. Just a great mix of leftie content here. Also, the site logo is fire.
im gay lol
Woooow how original, a gay hexbear. Sheesh, get some new material
spoiler
jk I love all my comrades, gay, trans, bi, and (may I be forgiven for uttering such profanity) straight
based 
Big if true
Gotta say I have much enjoyed my time here so far
No weird socially conservative "communism"
No state department brained liberal "socialism"
Only good takes and unironically based people
Welcome the 
You guys are the cool commie friends I wish to have, and I'm sad I haven't met you guys before. Such a happy place to get some ~~GOOD OL' MURICAN~~ freedom from all the lib crap we endure daily ❤️✨
My only regret is that I wasn’t here sooner! I missed the CTH discord but now I’m glad to be back in the same boat
Me too ❤️
welcome back, comrades 
Been lurking for a few months but this is first online space I haven't gotten those fucked vibes from
I'm still getting through my list of theory so I don't feel confident joining certain conversations yet but I'd like to think being open-minded to deprogramming all the western propaganda bullshit I've ingested over a lifetime has helped me discover this community
I wish hexbear had gone with the name lib.rehab, because finding this place has done so many wonders for getting the worms out of my brain
Don't feel like you can't join conversations because you don't have all the theory down comrade. We've all got plenty gaps in our knowledge and people are pretty cool about explaining things if required.
I’ve been on Lemmy.world for a month. I’ve wanted to see this place and Genzedong.
Very excited to have you aboard!
No ableism 
Don't forget, if you need to you can disengage from a conversation at any time, just say disengage if you ever need to, if users don't respect that they get banned on the spot o7
Please post, please ask questions, and remember
John Brown did nothing wrong unlimited bloodshed against Slave Owners 
Idk the new users names yet but I like the one with the pfp that looked like a queer scarecrow I think
thing but queer is a good pfp theme
I welcome fresh blood. Cant wait for them to start their first struggle session.
Finally made an account after lurking for the past few months. This community is one of the few corners of the internet that doesn't give me psychic damage. Hello, comrades, thank you for the warm welcome and for being cool people on a cool bear website.
Welcome comrades and hopefully soon-to-be comrades. 
I've had some really nice exchanges with new users and those from other instances and look forward to more and more of it.
Even those who have just dipped their toes in to ask questions and then backed out presumably because it wasn't for them or didn't like the answers - you won't read this probably but thanks for being on earnest and cool about it. 
I appreciate @ewichuu@hexbear.net! She seems super cool and sweet and like she's here to listen and learn what we're about, I better not see y'all being mean to her
i just think our she/they comrades are neat 
Speaking for myself here, but one thing that always makes me happy is seeing more users who are into Star Trek, furries, into hobbies, or any combination of those.
I'm new and I just wanted to stop in and say thank you to everyone for the warm welcome. 🥰 you have all been so friendly and helpful. I'm so happy you federated and I found you. ❤️
Short answer is I don't remember any of their usernames yet.
But I've seen a good number that have been joining in on the dunking, joining/starting interesting good faith discussions, bringing in more hobby content, and just generally making the place feel fresher and more vibrant. If any of that's you, you know who you are 
also side note, I tried some interesting search queries to see if I could jog my memory on specific new users to shout out, and it turns out that https://hexbear.net/u/Bunhead is way up there when you sort by "top" presumably because their comment count being negative from deleted comments breaks the algorithm somehow 
I don't know the new folks' names yet, but I agree that it's wonderful to get new comrades!
I'm selfishly encouraging folks to create more bit accounts I really enjoy them. Juan_Guiado one of the all time best.
no more half measures walter
Well you for one, for making this topic, it's a good idea
Assuming you mean new users even from outside the instance, I've seen a few users from elsewhere post dune memes, and we need more duneposting
Also more generally the free software / anti-IP / linux content seems to have increased (we had comms for those of course but theirs are bigger) and that's pretty great too
Hello! I'm a new user from blahaj.zone, I switched after I saw all the death to NATO responses to the defederation mega-thread. 
. This is my first time using a social media site like Lemmy (never used corpo social media at all). :3 
Blessed young users 
Hello, made an account here since the lame instance I was in only federate with other lame instances. I'm exited to post all my bad takes.
I barely remember the names of old posters 
But I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who gel so well with our vibe.
Every time a user from another instance like @Pandantic@midwest.social comes here to ask us genuine good faith questions and is clearly intellectually curious and willing to learn, it warms my heart.
look at this bear
