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.

    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.

      No one is forced to say shit.

      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.
