    1 @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net and all of the regular contributors to the news megathread for making it into an international hub of information exchange and learning. Never did I ever think that the current iteration we see today would’ve stemmed from the first war Containment thread during those confusing and anxious days. Additionally i want to show my appreciation towards @Awoo@hexbear.net, and @kristina@hexbear.net, for being positive figures of hexbear in both their work, posting, and presence. You both, alongside all the many other people here, make the site a pleasant and enjoyable island in the morass that is the general internet.

    2 @GarbageShoot@hexbear.net has come so far in the past year I’m more than confident that if we ever met IRL he would radiate Stalinium.

    3 the mods of the fake news comm. For the few times you’ve gotten me, you suck. soviet-heart. I also want to shout out retired poster @UlyssesT@hexbear.net for leading his own daily one-man crusade across hexbear and the wider federal network. You are gone but not forgotten.

    4 the only person that consistently comes to mind for me is @Aru@lemmygrad.ml, for consistently participating in the news mega and assisting in giving us English speakers a glimpse into the Arabic world in a manner only a native speaker can. This of course extends to all our other multi-lingual friends and comrades here who take their ernest time to help us learn more about the world beyond our screens.
