Which would be fine and dandy except the mods take account age into extreme consideration and will ban new users for very slight grievances while allowing older accounts to tell you things like "you should be killed" over things which absolutely do not merit that (transphobes/etc get the wall obviously, that kind of bigotry merits that kind of response) while simply punishing them with comment removal and any criticism of these kinds of decisions will typically also result in a ban accusing you of either misinformation or being a wrecker or some other non-respondant accusation which tbh Isn't Cool and now you've got an even younger new account more vulnerable to this which is even less cool
Having the user union didn’t help with that anyway since it’s not like the mods could be impeached or anything. Some of the old mods were fucking AWFUL, and for all I know know they’re still here, but they poison the site much less because they aren’t getting into massive public fights with the users now.

this single run on sentence is like malding poetry, it rhymes :george-lucas:
if you think what I described is good idk guess we'll see if/when the leopards bite your face and you get banned or told to die or whatever for disagreeing with a holy 2020 account Mx. 2022 :vivian-shrug:
consider the phenomenon of lurking for months / possibly even years until the fateful day you see a post so unfathomably stupid you simply have to sign up and comment on it
why would anyone ever post mod criticism on an alt on a website where even the mildest and well-reasoned criticism of mod action will result in a ban and where account age gets taken into consideration making holding onto a main desirable (ironically in conflict with the "for op-sec make new accounts all the time!" folk)
"mods taking account age into consideration is kind of shit" isn't really a shit take but I guess with a 2021 account you don't have to worry about that as much, you could probably tell me I should be killed and publicly request a ban for yourself and be fine
which is kind of a problem in conflict with "just make a new account who cares" being an appropriate take
Except in at least most of those cases it is literally some 4chanite raider or a long-time user recently banned for something serious making alts that's getting caught. Like I browse by new and often see it happen in real time, where a brand new account starts posting stuff that's a bit inflammatory and a little sus, then you look at their comments and they're trying to be a caricature made up by someone on 4chan, with speech littered with 4chanisms because they're so immersed in that environment that they don't know how to code switch out of it. And then a mod spots them and they're banned within minutes, just as the account is starting to scream slurs at people.
Does it matter? There's nothing stopping them from making a new account

Remember when people were allowed to publically debate moderator policy, bans, etc?
It was a disaster. This place has been running much more smoothly since the mods banned dissent. Really makes you think :soviet-hmm:

given how you communicate, pretty sure the problem wasn't that you disagreed with an old head lol
omg thank you for the progressive title usage while rageposting
"You talk annoying lol" uh okay
Fuck me for attempting to respect your neopronouns am i rite
Incredible how these new accounts always seem to have these really strong opinions about site culture

The mods are mostly idiots
Brand new account

I mean I can't think of a reason
If you need to save certain takes for alt accounts for fear of getting banned, they're probably shit takes
"mods taking account age into consideration is kind of shit" isn't really a shit take but I guess with a 2021 account you don't have to worry about that as much, you could probably tell me I should be killed and publicly request a ban for yourself and be fine

Treated as wreckers by us lowly posters isn't the same as treated as wreckers by mods.
So, as a general group immune response, I think posters get to :fry: suspicious posts.
very hurt and disappointed the users of hexbear have branded me “sus”. I am only asking for their social security number and home address
the left truly eats their own
:desolate:
