Don’t let those shitheels from hexbear get you down. I joined in the 196wave but I’ve stayed because blahaj is the safe trans affirming space I need right now, and from what I’ve seen you’ve been a key voice in making that happen. Thank you for all the hard work you do!

      I’m new here and of course respect Ada already, but I thought she is only a mod. She is the instance host? Is she tech smart? Where can I read the backstory lore and fanfics

        I am one of the two instance admins. @supakaity and I run the instance together. She does the tech side, and I do the front of house stuff

        Oh let me count the ways…

        Ada is super smart and knowledgeable across a broad range of topics from physics, astronomy and technology all the way to the subgenus species and origins of varieties of birds.

        She’s pretty, loving, caring, empathetic. She has a big strong heart.

        But the ruthlessness and absolute conviction which comes out whenever she sees something wrong… that is honestly the most awesome thing about her. The way she goes from zero to 100 in under a second, that’s her true superpower, and quite something to see.

        I’m somewhat enamored, tbh.

        It’s okay…

        Ada is actually really great, and a tech girl in her own right.

        She honestly just lets me play being the tech wizardess cause it goes with my aesthetic.

          Omg nooooo I feel bad now! Your tech witchery is amazing too, I just meant because those trolls called her out specifically and said some awful lies, so I wanted to show some community love to her 💕
