Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?

    That’s a great example and exactly the kind of thing I meant. My mind is littered with them! Although now there’s one fewer: I hadn’t considered that you can’t replace every “it was” with “'twas”.

    There’s just so much room for ever increasing nuance. Always something else that looks completely different if it’s understood as a relation. Sometimes it’s big ideas but not always (or often, really, as they’re likely the first ones to reconsider).

    I envy future generations who will never have to start the first however many decades of life learning an outlook that doesn’t correspond with reality. They’re going to achieve so much. It’s hard to imagine.
