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.

    They reversed a few bans, but not mine. So apparently something I said was particularly objectionable. I'm not sure what though.

      I figured it out: It's people who were banned with the haha funny bit reason when it was pointed out they hadn't actually requested a random ban and were clearly just banned out of spite.

      This does seem a lot like the mods wanted to obfuscate the bans of people being critical

        Yeah, seems like they'll be justifying it by saying they are just "temp bans" so it is ok. But it's still pretty fucked up for their biggest critics in the thread to be effectively silenced for "going against the (mod) hivemind" or whatever libs say about us.
