Honestly I never got one either. I never posted particularly hard on the old site so maybe that’s why? Not sure though, I certainly would have up voted any number of ‘rulebreaking’ posts.

Has anything changed in 70 years? The legacy of the suppression of the left wing in the United States is still with us today!

I’ve actually never felt unwelcome or not wanted in hexbear. Probably because I engage in posts there in good faith and disagree politely.

I don’t think you have to worry about saying something wrong: libs will find ways to shit on the most well rounded and honed arguments. Like yeah it feels bad when you’re wrong but at the end of the day it’s not a huge deal if you lose an argument. I definetly get the latter fear, it isn’t something I’ve had to deal with since I haven’t been fighting the libs this past week 😔

I’m coming back to this thread to drop this insightful tumblr post I saw the other day:

The poster here is addressing something different from what you’re talking about but I think there’s something to it; blurring the line between traditionally ‘platonic’ relationships like mother, sister, and even friend with the ‘romantic’ roles of boyfriend, wife, etc is certainly something I do with my queer friends. It’s not quite the same thing but I think there’s something to be said about desiring a relationship with someone that is both close physically and emotionally but yet does not reach the ‘level’ of ‘partner.’ I like relationships that are as close and reliant as the sister but I also like having sex, if you get what I mean.
