Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

What is Hexbear? (hexbear.net)

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.

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.

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.
