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 
Here's how it works:
-
Pick from the below categories
-
Nominate someone for that category by tagging them
-
If you are nominated respond to the nomination to accept it
-
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:
-
Best Effortposter of 2024
-
Most likely to be called a tankie on a blocked instance
-
Most comradely Hexbear
This year we have a special bonus category to commemorate some of the new comms we added:
- 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 
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

You are one of my favorite posters on the site and my interactions with you have always been more than pleasant. I hope you're doing okay

It is december 30 and stalin showed me the magic of moon on the cytube
Where has awoo been I hope she comes back. I feel like we lost a lot of really good posters this year inexplicably and I'd hate for her to be the next
Strugglesessions and bans out of spite will do that to a community
I'm sort of posting a bit but that whole debacle with the tanks/gossip being created kind of put a damper in my motivation. I don't know if I'm imagining it because I haven't seen the data but it feels like there were more regulars I'd see before that. It was also also shortly after the election, things in general have been a bit depressing for commies since then so maybe people are just not as enthusiastic as they were.
I've seen a lot less regulars aorund
REgon getting banned in connection with a struggle session less than a day after posting this comment feels very... Is "apropos" the term I'm looking for?
In any case zhal zhal
There's just less activity in general. Just look at the comment counts of the news and trans megas.
Many of the posters I'm referring to were not banned they just stopped showing up
Yeah that's sort of what I mean. Those events have ripple effects
Awoo got banned for DM harassment and had to post in self_crit to return. The ban expired and she hasn't yet
