Hexbear's new head of operations just dropped, and their way of dealing with the fallout of their last struggle session is to hand bans out like candy to their concerned and disillusioned users while throwing out "epic" quips like insecure teenagers along the way coupled with their communication (and seemingly contempt) towards their own userbase which isn't helping their allegations at all and the revelations that were learned about Hexbear's moderators and admins from their most recent struggle session.

The last few days have honestly shaken my faith in Hexbear and their team and I hope the mods and admins at Lemmygrad are monitoring the situation closely.

    It's true I didn't say "I love my trans comrades" today and got banned 20000000000,0000,00,00 trillion times! 😱😱😱😭😭😭😭

    spoiler

    I am joking and it's hilarious that I even have to clarify that

        I'm one of the people telling you you're wrong. I'm also one of the people TC69 just banned, and I taunted her publicly after she deleted her account. I have a 3 year grudge against her for fucking over the hexbear vegans.

        You're still wrong about this.

          Wait tc69 fucked over the hexbear vegans?

          Now it all makes sense

          I know who tc69 is now

          I know whose accounts the wrecker accounts are

          Its all that one user who got banned for being rabidly anti-vegan

            If you're thinking of Catradora_Stalinism HelltakerHomosexual, I really don't think they're TC69, but they are the mod some users are accusing of being the wrecker (an admin said they know for a fact this isn't true)."Fucking over vegans" was banning all discussions of veganism outside of their comms and removing all the VCJ mods. Frankly a lot of the userbase probably agreed with these decisions but I strongly oppose them.

            Edit: more accurately, HelltakerHomosexual is being accused of being the wrecker and also of being banned user Catradora_Stalinism. An admin stated that they confirmed Helltaker is not the wrecker. I don't have a strong opinion on whether either of these are true.

              Its the only thing that makes sense to me though

              With this assumption there would have to be only one culprit

                TC69 isn't particularly anti-vegan, she just decided to take action against us instead of addressing the sitewide issues. Again I really don't she's the same person.

        Lmao come on, you can't be serious.

        Our recent struggle session has nothing to do with the bizarre 1984 narrative about trans people that you're trying to push.

        No one is forced to say shit. We just usually ban transphobes who are actively shitty towards people who are pro-trans.

        It's starting to look like that's why you hate us?

          I always feel bad when I was agreeing with someone initially and then they just kind of dig themselves deeper and deeper and start saying less and less coherent stuff and it makes me realise they were probably masking some really uncool shit and I fell for it. :(

            We were just talking about this with the mods, it's incredible how hard it is for people to just say I am sorry and do a tiny bit of self crit. I had just done so as I had just got off work and wasn't taking it seriously enough how bad shit had gone off the rails in the previous 8 or so hours.

            I was just like "oh shit sorry my bad that sucks I need to investigate this" and then we were cool. And I get it, untangling niche communist shitposting site drama is for the most part an annoying waste of time (if you are not a moderator of said community and thus literally obligated to do), but like you can just ignore it. If you want to engage with a subject you must investigate it fully. As a comrade instructed me in that same instance I referred to apologizing for, NO INVESTIGATION NO RIGHT TO SPEAK.

          Never said they were.

          It’s starting to look like that’s why you hate us?

          I never said I hate you, what a silly inference.

            keyword: daily. I already compared it to another social situation where something is also not mandatory, but it is expected.

            It is not expected. You claim it is. Stop being an overly semantic debate bro get your transphobic ass back to Reddit.

                Lmao. You keep digging that hole. I'm calling you a transphobe because you have a problem with us banning people who attack pro trans statements.

                My friend in Christ, you are doing the equivalent of going to somewhere that is gay friendly and loudly shouting "I can't believe you're forced to kiss dudes here!" At the first sign of dudes kissing.

                You're not expected to kiss dudes, you won't be banned for not kissing dudes, but if you loudly voice disgust every time dudes kiss, I'm kicking you out of the bar. That is not Orwellian or unfair, it is basic anti-harrassment policy.

                  you have a problem with us banning people who attack pro trans statements.

                  Never said that. I literally wrote in a post that a website should delete transphobic posts and ban people who make them, but that I don't agree with the "affirmative ritual". Why are you being dishonest?
