I was under the belief that hexbear and lemmygrad were “different” from other social media platforms, and of course they are in many ways. But after all the effort I put into educating people on this platform, just for the mass of conquistadors to turn around wielding yankee-centric xenophobic nonsense at every turn, I finally learned my lesson that this platform was a little more than a form of escapism while functioning as self harm for me.

Good luck EMPOC community and maybe we’ll meet in meatspace one day.
