if you're saying that being a too-online leftist is not really doing anything, hexbears are self-aware about that and riff on it pretty often. but plenty of hexbears are also involved in orgs, unionization efforts, and volunteer work. and the ones who aren't are self-deprecating about it. this is where the "I will never log off!" riffs come from, they all know they should log off. that said, the community is also sort of a support group for people to share their stress about the world to other people who understand it and share a similar perspective. that's the main purpose of the community, no one sees it as some "change the world by posting" platform. if they did, it wouldn't make sense for them to stay defederated for three years.

Heard. You've successfully made the points for me to not give any more of my opinions on Hexbear to anyone who isn't from Hexbear. I'll stand down and give everyone the fair chance to make their own opinions.

I think having a space to destress is really important. If you're fighting for rights for minorities in your local area and you need to shout "death to America" in a friendly space online, you earned it and you deserve it.
