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

lol

In celebration of the new year I’ve decided to compile my conversations with the North Koreans I have talked to

1 of these was a diplomat and the other is a citizen ,our conversations were different that being said they were very interesting so I will post them tomorrow inshallah

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

Very interested to see!

  1. Easily goes to @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net for all the incredible megathreads over longest while, as well as my own personal interest in battlrs for indigenous sovereignty. Tied for it is @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net and the legendary work they've done in the news megathread. Yall are some of the smartest people I know and I genuinely trust yall like a liberal trusts CNN.

  2. Easily @frauddogg@hexbear.net as null has gone on a path of fighting the great white brainworm of white supremacy and seem to be winning. Easily would rip a liberal to shreds and have them repeating nonsense and calling void a tankie within a few replies.

Also a close second for @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml because they've made a name for themselves already and probably is the greatest fear of all lemmy libs.

  1. This one's hard so I'll do a few @AshenWolf@hexbear.net, @kristina@hexbear.net @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net, and @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net for most comradely. Ashenwolf for her work in the trans comm and the trachat. Kristina for her IRL praxis. Pecan as a stable rock of good takes and steadfast protection of the EMpoc. And corgi because they are the best.

  2. @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net but seriously I think they're one of my favorite, and practically as much a part of hexbear as the name itself. Touch grass everyone but never stop posting dirt owl.

I'd like to nominate this moment where I made an offhand mention of a lib who had their own subreddit for monitoring us and hadn't been active in years, then received a reply from said lib in mere minutes, as the wildest moment of the year. Use the "view moderation history" button to see their comments since they were all removed.

1: @largepenis@hexbear.net especially for keeping us up to date on Syria + Lebanon over the past few months. wishing his family well, and hoping his kid has a great life ahead of him

2: @seventytwotrillion@hexbear.net for his staunch loyalism towards The Goddamn News

3: @grebgreb@hexbear.net for hextubely achievements, irreparable damage to my internal mental vocabulary, and for taking me as his apprentice at hextube’s emote factory

4: @bureaucrat@hexbear.net for achievements in mass badposting action until the entire bureaucracy got their bus blown up by the CJNG after their business trip in Oaxaca went horribly wrong :,(

  1. Definitely goes to @yogthos@lemmy.ml for work on .ml which is federated to a bunch of reddit-logo lite instances.

Does anyone else not learn usernames? There's me, there's that one person with the awful avatar so I've decided I don't like them, there's like 500 names that I recognize but see as essentially interchangeable, and then there's dirt owl who talks about piss.

Awards are a type of liberalism

[–] HomoSexualTransStalinist@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Id like to nominate gay tucker carlson for resuming our past friendship and being nice to me in DMs about personal stuff when they saw id come back to the site after not talking for a long time, also for the best impression of tucker carlson if he was gay. didn't want to @ her bcs it felt awkward.

Ngl im slightly tipsy with friends + family rn posting from the toilet, and the main reason i didnt at them was actually bcss i couldn't work out how to withmy dumb dumb tipsy brain

I, once again, nominate myself for this prestigious award just so I can be the only two times Hexie nominated actor in Hollywood.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I nominate myself for the award of most forgettable poster @Gorb@hexbear.net

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

I remember you though so this is denied

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Wow! I'm so happy. I want to make a speech to thank all the people that made this possible

Thanks me for being there for me when me. Thank you also to me for me when me and most importantly me

I'm nominating @frauddogg@hexbear.net for all categories except badposting, lots of spicy posts and I haven't seen comrade Dogg miss yet. Love newer users that come in with hot guns chavez-guns

Bad posting goes to either dirt owl or megan (for her bad posts in tracha)

Best effortposter: @Frank@hexbear.net. The man will write an essay on anything from how liberals fundamentally fail to understand communists to how the evolution of player killing in Ultima Online led to the modern state of MMOs. He's both very empathetic and very analytical, he has a lot of knowledge to share, and he doesn't hesitate to share it. Plus, I can always appreciate a fellow Clausewitz enjoyer.

Most likely to be called a tankie on a blocked instance: @frauddogg@hexbear.net for sheer number of reactionaries self-destructed and for depths of completely justified hatred displayed of America, NATO, and the West.

Most comradely: @Angel@hexbear.net. With both of us being communist vegans, we've talked a lot about how the two intertwine and about our shared frustrations with both liberal vegans and anti-vegan communists. She just gets it in a way I've seen few other people do. I was very sad when she stepped down as mod (though I understand and support her decision). Please consider helping her pay her rent.

Best bad poster: It can only be @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net.

I’d like to nominate @cowbee@hexbear.net for Effortposter for his post about reading theory which got me started with theory. Idk if he’s the #1 effort poster of all Hexbear, but I appreciated this effort post in particular.

  1. My vote here goes to @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net for just how often I've seen them posting to the effort comm with some genuine food for thought. Runner-up'd be @RedWizard@hexbear.net.

  2. @Cowbee@hexbear.net, no contest. I don't think there's even a runner-up to nominate because Cowbee's just that out here slapping liberals in the mouths.

  3. @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net, who I hope is resting a lil bit easier by now.

For category 1 I nominate @Ivysaur@hexbear.net for her covid posting and @frauddogg@hexbear.net for the best anti-settler posting.

Not sure about category 2, lots of fantastic tankies on here I can’t single anyone out.

For category 3, I’m just going to nominate a bunch of people: @ashinadash@hexbear.net, @magi@hexbear.net, @TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net, @Thallo@hexbear.net, @Seryph@lemmygrad.ml. And a very special shoutout @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for creating such a lovely inviting space for POC on this site. Thank you all! cat-trans
