I’m homeless (working on it, have a few interviews coming up) and I noticed that there was a mutual aid community located in hexbear. Do I need to make another account or can I use this one to make a post there? Also if there’s a loan/borrow community let me know.

      Thank you SatansMaggotyCumFart, I’ll see if there’s a mutual aid community in my city.

      It absolutely is not a meme community, they just have bot responses they use to help bump posts. It is 100% legitimate, but like all busking is hit or miss and depends on the person and what they’re asking for. Many community requests are fulfilled though.

              I really don’t believe that unless you’re checking from a defed’ed account. There are literally multiple recent posts right now that have been edited to show they were fulfilled requests, which is common. Unless you’re a serial busker(and there are definitely a handful of them) most people get at least some help.

                  I’m not sure if you realize, but the meme responses are to bump the post activity and increase visibility. I’ve personally fulfilled a handful of requests there and often the op doesn’t update the post, which I personally don’t care about - people are struggling and I’m happy to chip in. As it happens, I’ve given to this particular user twice.
