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

  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

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net for effortposter. Great and valuable insight on imperialism and global finance capital.

Check out this comment thread, what is the role of US treasuries? etc.

[–] Piment@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

I had the thought of something like this, but nominating the YouTuber Jessie Gender for worst video-essay of the year with her 4 hour long video about Palestine which boils down to "what's happening in Palestine is really bad, but liberal Zionism is valid". She also managed to include a quote from "Son of Hamas" in the original video. Maybe the biggest display of BreadTuber sophistry I have ever seen, not to mention it is the length of two entire movies, while saying almost nothing worth hearing. It has just stuck with me how phenomenally bad this video was.

For category 1. Best effortposter, I nominate comrade @ReadFanon@hexbear.net, whose posts are always inciteful and engaging, as well as @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net for all of the fantastic write-ups in the News Megathread! For category 2, I nominate @AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net (I see you all the time) as well as @frauddogg@hexbear.net for similar reasons, and for category 3. I nominate @dustbunnies@hexbear.net, @Blockocheese@hexbear.net, and @LeylaLove@hexbear.net (among many, many others, but I limited it to 3).

For cat 4, gotta nominate @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net lol

  1. I nominate @Erika3sis@hexbear.net for her language posts, very high level stuff way over my smol peanut head.

  2. I nominate @Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net for their posting in the news mega which would get anyone called a tankie.

  3. I nominate @Kolibri@hexbear.net for chatting with me on element.

  4. Goes to the people's champ @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net for the best bad posts.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

I know this is supposed to uplift me and thank you very much sicko-wholesome

but obviously I think there are better posters in the news thread comm. (What did I post to deserve this?)

Here are my nominations if you're going to choose one from news megathread, as one of the best effortposters:

@xiaohongshu@hexbear.net, @Z_Poster365@hexbear.net , @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net , @Redcuban1959@hexbear.net, @bbnh69420@hexbear.net

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.

Can we have a "best liberal award"? I nominate you for it lmao gotem packwatch

No but seriously can we get a "best confused lib" award? Like the best time some lemmitor stumbled in here and fell on their ass. Also how about "best bit"? "Most outstanding copypasta"?

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.

sry cant @ on jerboa

  1. erika3sis for her languageposts, always a treat

  2. cowbee, because even though they might have stop posting in the trenches their name is still whispered with a hush in the threads of lemmy.world (or so I imagine)

  3. dirt_owl because they just won't stop posting and I admire that.

  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.
