i go on hexbear a lot but it does feel a lot more childish than this site. they’re always getting into some struggle session over something that either doesn’t matter at all or really does but the correct answer isn’t that hard. i was saying on their last thing a couple days ago that it really feels like when i was a prepubescent garry’s mod admin. my tentative hypothesis is maybe their “no sectarianism” rule means no one can ever be like “this is stupid”. the discussions are mostly okay but mention the sex trade on there and suddenly they’re all friedrich von hayek. i got in trouble for that one. when i have big questions about theory i mostly stick to grad.

anyway it’s not like you have to trade off anything; you can just go on their communities from this site. sorry for the wall of text; i’ve been thinking about it a bit lately.
