You know, the ones that aren’t trolls, but still wind up banned for being awful to be around

    I guess the arbitrarity(?) of it confuses me. I don't have any particular triggers, and I understand people that do. I sympathize with them, and want to make the world a better place. PPB being "shocking" and used as a tool to bully others is a weird concept when we try to accommodate and make everyone welcome, or swiftly give them the boot.

    Personally, I'm pro bullying. This site has conflicting views on bullying. I got a post removed because I didn't sympathize with a crypto-bro who allegedly lost all of his money. Then, I see a bunch of screengrabs of people crying about the same thing and people on here dunking on them..

    The lesson I learned I guess was " it's ok to be an asshole behind people's backs, but once they set foot on hexbear, we can't. Even if they're here in bad faith".

    I wasn't trying to start a struggle sesh, and I hope you and I can be cool. I just think there are a lot of polarizing opinions here that are hard to navigate sometimes.

      Yeah I mean I agree, that's kinda an inherent contradiction in the whole "dirtbag left" concept. On the one hand, we want to be inclusive, but on the other hand we want to bully the libs. I think there's bound to be edge cases and mistakes and such while trying to square the two.

        It's hard to know where the line is sometimes. My post was removed because "we shouldn't kick fellow proles when they're down". I agree we shouldn't kick comrades at all, but I don't think anyone who bought into crypto is on the same page as the rest of us. I get being desperate, but destroying the planet for digital beanie babies is not leftist.
