MODERATORS
 

That's right folks the year is drawing to a close so it's time to rehash last year's bit, nominate, and vote for your 2024 Hexies! These are the Hexbears you think exemplify what it means to be a real Hexbear hexbear-retro

Here's how it works:

  1. Pick from the below categories

  2. Nominate someone for that category by tagging them

  3. If you are nominated respond to the nomination to accept it

  4. Most upbeared accepted nomination in each category wins!

What do you win? The esteem of your fellow Hexbearian comrades of course. What more could you want?

The categories for this year's 2024 Hexie awards are:

  1. Best Effortposter of 2024

  2. Most likely to be called a tankie on a blocked instance

  3. Most comradely Hexbear

This year we have a special bonus category to commemorate some of the new comms we added:

  1. Best bad poster (this is not the worst poster, this is the best poster that is bad at posting)

We got a lot of new posters this year and have a lot of great comrades visiting from federated instances, feel free to participate too! We love all of our great posters, don't we folks?

Alright comrades that's it from me, be sure and do your democratic duty and vote for your 2024 Hexie winners and congrats in advance to the winners of this highly coveted and prestigious award!

And for one small trip down memory lane, here's last year's Hexies! https://hexbear.net/post/1477104

spoilerThis bit was fun last year so I hope folks enjoy doing this bit again this year too, as a bit though

For #1 I would like to nominate the entire news mega. If a mega isn't allowed then @LargePenis@hexbear.net for the weekly rankings or @SoyViking@hexbear.net for the brave reports on the ancient kingdom in the north.
For #2 I nominate all our brave posters who have a second account specifically to engage in slapfights.
For #3 I nominate @Bureaucrat@hexbear.net on the technicality that pups contained the most comrades.

I am amazed at how long Bureaucat lasted as an account. Really a testament to this community

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aww, damn, I didn't even realize Bureaucrat was gone. When did that happen?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Folks were using the account to post things they wouldn't post on their main and thus the account is lost

Things of the reactionary variety

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's a very broad description.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The account was reporting anti-white stuff in the EM POC mega as “sectarian”

There was some other stuff but I forget what exactly

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

What nonsense!

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess you could look in the modlog for more info. You can search by user

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not Bureaucrat, apparently. Even clicking on pups profile gives you a couldnt_find_person error.

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

You can look at the last big thread posted in The Bureaucracy comm.

I got a link to the account some days ago, I was curious too. I'll see if I can find it.
Seems like the account was deleted. As far as I can tell basically the bit had run it's course and gotten too big and people were using it to air grievances. Honestly impressed the bit ran as long as it did. I got so happy to see my alt account not only got picked up, but became a decent bit.

Thank you for the nomination. I'm flattered and happy that my fair and accurate reports from this exotic and remote place are being so well received.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I love your objective and unbiased reporting on their strange ways.

I hope some day to read about how their tradition of eating pork at election somehow explains something about authoritarianism or whatever it is journalists like to do for China
