1. Most Influential Hexbear - @[email protected]
An essential facet of Hexbear culture. This is a different, better place with him.
2. Most Likely to be Called a Tankie Offline - @[email protected]
It is the end of 2023 and Stalin saved the world from fascism.
3. Best in Community Engagement - @[email protected]
FWIIIIHuh! Hooh! Huh! Hooh! Huh! Hooh!
I like how wombat is both our Stalin person and our anime person
when they make a stalin anime wombats gonna be on that shit
I agree wholeheartedly with all of these
-
@[email protected] for the good trans memes
-
@[email protected] is most likely to be called a tankie because he is not afraid to voice his opinion and never backs down.
-
@[email protected] obviously, and @[email protected] always brings good vibes
-
@[email protected] for being a overall friendly fellow. Special mention to @[email protected] for being a commie wizard
But really there are too many that I could list. @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] and @[email protected] are all good people and there are probably more I missed. There are too many of you nerds. Sheesh.
Yooooo I’m on the Piss list let’s fucking gooooooo!
<3 thanks comrade!
thank you for the support!
I love our dirted owl
UlyssesT did also go on an
tour and redact Kissinger. I think he’s zeroing in on the Star Citizen guy next.Removed by mod
Oh, thanks for including me! I’m still a newbie here, but it means a lot.
I accept this nomination with great zeal! Thanks comrade Dirt_Owl. 🧙♂️🦉
Thank you
Dirt Owl-senpai noticed me
You deserve to be noticed
07, love you dirt
- next year we’ll have a dirtiest owl category because you deserve an award just for being the most powerful shitposter on the planet
god i miss @[email protected]

1 @[email protected] and all of the regular contributors to the news megathread for making it into an international hub of information exchange and learning. Never did I ever think that the current iteration we see today would’ve stemmed from the first war Containment thread during those confusing and anxious days. Additionally i want to show my appreciation towards @[email protected], and @[email protected], for being positive figures of hexbear in both their work, posting, and presence. You both, alongside all the many other people here, make the site a pleasant and enjoyable island in the morass that is the general internet.
2 @[email protected] has come so far in the past year I’m more than confident that if we ever met IRL he would radiate Stalinium.
3 the mods of the fake news comm. For the few times you’ve gotten me, you suck.
. I also want to shout out retired poster @[email protected] for leading his own daily one-man crusade across hexbear and the wider federal network. You are gone but not forgotten.4 the only person that consistently comes to mind for me is @[email protected], for consistently participating in the news mega and assisting in giving us English speakers a glimpse into the Arabic world in a manner only a native speaker can. This of course extends to all our other multi-lingual friends and comrades here who take their ernest time to help us learn more about the world beyond our screens.
im gay
That’s very sweet of you, though I would never in a million years compare myself to our bank-robbing uncle [or his metal deposits, as the case may be].
Of course, I agree with all your other comments, though I don’t remember who Aru is unless they were the one who made the Arabic lesson posts (which I thought were cool the couple of times I read them).
Ah Aru is Rania Rudhan, I don’t know how lemmygrad let’s you have different screen names to account names but it’s neat for letting people choose names other than what isn’t already taken up in the book of names
I think Aru has a hexbear account now
one of usgay
Can I have a participation trophy to piss off the chuds?
You are automatically nominated for the hidden 5th category, “Most Likely To Post Cute Pics of your Pet”
i would like to nominate myself for that category
I would agree completely.
i have nominated you to gain access to all 7 dragonballs
(for real tho you’re like the most positive and cheerful person with your posts around here)
- thanks comrade!
- Most influential Hexbear: @[email protected]
Just one of our strongest posters all around. Didn’t log off until real life took his attention. He’s the only poster I’ve seen who will respond to absolutely everyone. Giant comment threads, good sprinkling of our emojis. overall powerful aura with a lot of posting HP
But since he’s not here to accept it, I gotta give the actual nomination to @[email protected]
Every emoji is like a little morsel of candy and I can’t imagine how the site culture would look like without our lovely little pictures of indie game characters and pig shit
- Most likely to be called a tankie offline: @[email protected]
very pure “yes I’m a communist” vibe
- Best in Community Engagement: @[email protected]
Love the work he’s done with the Chunka Luta Network . Overall cool comrade
- Best non local user
not really sure. I see some sometimes and they can be cool. Still feels like I’m getting to know all the folk from federation. But probably someone from lemmygrad
Aww
Some real power Hexbears in this list
- @[email protected], for better or worse. Like, think about it: they must be responsible for the most uses of the “Block community” button on Hexbear.
- @[email protected]
- There’s a few different ways you could take this tbh. Like, posting numbers, commenting numbers, starting things like bookclubs, etc. I think in terms of “Person who generates the most engagement in the community” then I think @[email protected] with his incredible posting (and commenting!) numbers is a big influence.
- @[email protected]
Melina’s asked me to accept the award on faer behalf since apparently you have faer blocked so fae couldn’t accept faerself
lmao
Melina is the only user that I have literally fully blocked. I have no regrets. Undoubtedly influential
Then you won’t be seeing this: 🖕
😠
UwU
ok this is really hard
- @[email protected] and @[email protected] both got me back into reading for fun this year so shout out to my hexbear teachers. yall are my most influential because you have influenced my offline life in a helpful way.
- haha ive been called a tankie offline before! but for the nomination I will say @[email protected] because i feel like their earnesty and passion must carry over into their organizing.
- @[email protected] for making sure we all show up on time (well our version of on time haha) for movies on hextube!!
honorable mentions. @[email protected] one of my besties on here, crazy to think our friendship started with an heated argument to say the least. @[email protected] my favorite bird in the whole world! and someone who understands all my gender stuff. @[email protected] for just exxelent all around posting @[email protected] for always being a sweetheart
and all my hextube comrades to be honest I love yall the most!!! you make my days better regularly.
Thanks!
I happily accept this nomination.
.Aww thanks comrade
Aw shucks, thanks for the kind words!
-
Most Influential Hexbear – @[email protected] for pretty much carrying the general megathread on his back solo throughout the year.
-
Most likely to be called a tankie offline – honestly @[email protected], factoring that you also have to push your ideological opposites to the point of this in a conversation, and they’re an extremely powerful poster in that regard.
-
Best in Community Engagement – @[email protected] for quickly whipping up the new emote shortcode search into a prod-ready state days before we were to push the major site upgrade on a whim in response to my post about shortcodes being fucky
-
Whoever gets nominated should be banned
Please free me from the internet
Edit: This is the official post compiling everything I mentioned with the three top categories.
-
Okay, I pick @[email protected] as Most Influential Hexbear of 2023, though I haven’t been here long (well, most influential to me).
-
Most likely to be called a tankie off-line should go to @[email protected] but also, like, thanks for actually valuing my opinion on CPUSA instead of waving me off; I don’t think anyone replied to what I was saying in the previous thread you tagged me for lmao. Also, as someone said elsewhere, you’re kinda everywhere here, at least when I initially entered Hexbear.
-
Oh, and @[email protected] as best when it comes to community engagement; I think that neurodiversity thread recently was much needed, for example. I wasn’t sure if Othello should take this place or not.
-
Oh, and as said previously, @[email protected] gets the fourth category.
Honorable mentions:
@[email protected] (CrossCode FTW)
@[email protected] (genuinely warms my heart)
@[email protected] (what a majestic creature…)
@[email protected] (also: check out his recent game that he made; please play it to help 'em out)
@[email protected] (gone through a lot and helped me out too)
@[email protected] (been real nice to me, from what I can remember)
@[email protected] (BIG CHUNGUS)
@[email protected] (I believe we pretty much hit it off the bat when starting out and they were in Lemmygrad back when I was there)
@[email protected] (what a majestic creature…)
coughs up a rat skeleton
Aaawwwwww
MY FRIEND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
awww thank you! i am honored!
Yes, you have an entire dwarf planet on your side.
a powerful ally!
(Believe me, I wish.)
It’s an honor just to be nominated
Of course, and it’s a honor having you.
Aw, thanks for the kind words!
Np!
Thanks for the inclusion, and the game plug
Absolutely!
I don’t know what other category I could have been nominated for. It’s a deep honor, thank you
Absolutely!
