Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

hexbear users try not to embarrass me challenge level 1000: be normal about black art without
. you dont get to call yourselves inclusive if you dont allow black people to used the words they used regularly that they have reclaimed for themselves. this creator is clearly black, if you censor his art/message because hes not saying it politely enough for you, you are censoring black voices. do you want to ban any music that says it either? or speeches? well then you will be censoring THOUSANDS of important black voices and art. also would you do this with the word queer? or other reclaimed terms when being used by the communities that reclaimed them?
Residual trauma from other internet spaces being overrun by edge lords… it’s hard to tell what’s in the video if you just look at the title and the thumbnail, and normalizing the bypassing of the slur filter might have unintended consequences especially now after federation. We don’t want a bunch of little hitlerjugend slithering around. But then again, I am not black. I guess we just have to trust each other enough to self-police. This will probably ignite a struggle session
Fuck fascists for ruining shit even in abstentia
edit. nevermind im logging off, i dont care anymore. its not worth the effort. edit fine i care a lot, i can explain more when im a bit less frustrated.
You are 100% being reasonable and correct.
Really what we need to control is knee-jerk tone policing by explicitly prohibiting it in the code of conduct. We can probably trust the community enough to filter out reactionary content through reports. It’s more work for everyone but worth it if we get the benefit of more black voices.
thanks comrade, since people freaked out on me like a week ago im just super self conscious
agreed!
double agreed!!
It's been 0 days since hexbear has made Othello uncomfortable about race-related issues
I really hate that this keeps happening and something needs to be done to address this. Sure, you're still around, but I wonder how many black hexbears have left the site in the past because of similar issues. I hate how white hexbear is, not because of weird self-deprecating reasons but because imo it shows a clear failure of inclusivity.
This is just a thought, feel free to tell me it's a dumbass idea, but what if we had an emoji specifically for POC hexbears to use in race-related discussions, kind of as a way to say "my voice matters more in this matter than that of white folks"? Maybe this could help avoid some conflict and remind white hexbears to shut up and let people of color speak.
a lot left before the move here sadly, i think we used to have more back on reddit ironically.
no its a great idea.
i also wish hexbear would treat black people they way indigenous people or trans people are treated on here. theres a respect there that there isnt for black culture, theres also this understanding that you dont have to understand something to respect it. black culture isnt seen as something worthy of respect. people on here will argue that aspects of black culture specifically are wrong and anything they do deem acceptable or fashionable "doesnt belong to black people" and they are free to take. we are dissected cut up into bite sized pieces. not just here everywhere. im not even gonna bring up what that guy said before he deleted his comment im just gonna block him and move on.
also thanks umbravivi love seeing you around.
The word is fine. It’s just funny seeing it appended to incel especially since the word has devolved to a meme that describe people who like certain things
yeah i wasnt referring to you ryangosling. its a very funny word.
