I’m not really sure why, maybe this concept is overloading my weakbaby social capabilities. But looking at a circular owl profile pic shitposting loudly, or a username venting about something in main, and making the connection that those words were said by an entire human being with a life of their own hundreds or thousands of miles away is just sort of short circuiting my brain. Obviously I have intellectually, logically known that you’re all people, because you say things, but actually conceptualising it…
That is a huge amount of person by volume for such a little bear website.
It’s tough to visualise, like even for a small hexagonal bear post, if every profile pic and username is an actual person, (THEY ARE) then there are more of them than could comfortably fit in my living room. That many entire real people, in one place, badposting. Being gay(and more), saying ‘Death to Amerikkka’, sharing heartfelt support for people and movements, yeah that’s too many people, this is definitely short circuiting my brain.
May update when I figure out how to make my grey matter stop having a panic attack.
Honestly I think playing MMOs as a pre teen/teen got me used to that idea. RIP ventrilo
Hehe yeah, totally, we’re all real. 8/9ths of this site definitely isn’t just me on various accounts trying to radicalise you, so I can finally catch a terrist/making you spend time here instead of hexxbear.chat, the real website where all the leftists actually are.
Edit: seriously though thank you, I forwarded this post to my boss and he’s giving me a raise for doing such good work.
I have reflected before that feds have both succeeded and failed with me: I have become a hardcore leftist with Death to America views, but also I am so unbearably autistic and bad at talking that I’d never manage anything like useful organising or any sort of praxis. Feds have created the most inept, useless leftist in history.
Also I demand a battle between all of the “haha me n my alts” people here, to see who’s the REAL user. Very good bit, nice psyop.
all of the “haha me n my alts” people here.
Well of course I know them, they’re me 😉
but also I am so unbearably autistic and bad at talking that I’d never manage anything like useful organising or any sort of praxis.
I want to write something longer, but I don’t have the brain for it right now, so just know I hope you know I am being sincere: You can definitely do good praxis and be useful. Talking to people is hard, but there are things you are good at, that can definitely be helpful.
Bold assumptions from the fed!
Well I mean I can just look thru your file…
Says right here, let me see…
“Can do good and useful things and is actually a good and lovely human being”
There you go! If the FBI says it, it can’t be a lie

The relatively small userbase of this website contributes to this effect, I feel. I’d rarely ever notice a username multiple times on reddit, and too often there I’ll see an insightful (or terrible) comment, and go to a user’s page only to find out it’s yet another karma farming bot, trying to gain imaginary capitalist Internet points. Here, it’s likely that an account does represent an actual person’s genuine thoughts and feelings, and that’s heavy.
REAL
Reddit users in general are such a faceless mass. I recognise more than half of the people in this thread…
And even those I don’t recognize, thanks to site culture, if I start flipping through their comment history I’ll eventually have that moment of, “OMG, they piss too! Relatable.”
It’s kinda fucked up to think that every single one of you is a whole-ass, full-scale person behind a screen.
Not me, I’m a scaled down person. I’m 2’5" and weigh 50 lbs
Describing me as a whole-ass person is generous considering I usually feel like a half-ass person.
How did you get scaled down???
Yep definitely a whole human over here. Definitely not a double bluff disguise.
Owls are people too <3
That I am.
Poetry, I love it.
There’s so, so many reasons why it should never be done, but I would love nothing more than to have an IRL hexbear meetup. a weekend long con where there’s a big cake that looks like
and we can really see each other and vibe and not just our screen names
Sounds awful
It would be rad; I wouldn’t go, and not even due to opsec lol
At least I’m as big of a commie shitposter irl too.
Absolurely based
I am in fact the three flags on the album cover of Black Celebration but red IRL
Believe me, I wish I wasn’t. Having to actually care about the real world sucks
Real
I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy. Posting a picture of a pig defecating on its testicles may contain potentially sexual or inappropriate content. Is there anything else you would like me to do?
What’s even the point of LLMs…
Actually everyone here is just half a dozen bored Langley employees including me and probably you
Fr though, I’ve had like a dozen since deleted alts at this point which may be inflating the number
Oh I’m not lookin at user numbers, I get my impression of “every single one of you” just browsing the frontpage, sorted by New then Active!
Actually I’m in the messiest polycule Maoist commune you’ve ever heard of, you wouldn’t wanna know me, I be doing shit.
