First a call-out of fatphobia (https://hexbear.net/post/4189552) that ended up proving its point, then the stuff about "he/hims" (https://hexbear.net/post/4187781) ". Apparently a mod got banned!?

I am not very active and I never look at the megathreads, the number of comments in them scare me away from them. Is that where it's happening? I feel confused about what this community is like now.

I, uh, don't really know what my point is. Maybe someone can explain what the state of the site is? Especially on the he/hims thing. Maybe that's the main point of this post.

I feel sad for people that got hurt by this.

      I think it’s important for people to recognize the divisiveness you’re fostering on this platform. The narratives you’re pushing claiming the admins are bad or suggesting power users should be pushed out are creating unnecessary tension.

      You were especially persistent during the debate over the renaming of the dunk tank, engaging in lengthy arguments about something trivial. When I didn’t engage in your attempts to bait me into a debate, you escalated the situation by rallying others against me leading to my ban. I suspect you were also behind the alt accounts used to harass users, given how many hours you were wasting posting and your inability to get a debate from me.

      It’s ironic that you called out others for “ableist” behavior, such as telling people to log out, yet you privately sent me a similar message. This contradiction highlights your lack of authenticity. You’ve built a persona of being caring and genuine, but your actions suggest otherwise.

      After I was banned you accused me of creating multiple alts which targeted users and coincidentally yourself, being transphobic, and telling them to s*icide, while positioning yourself as a victim. This combined with your dismissive attitude toward me when I mentioned my long-standing presence on the site, shows how seriously you take “power posting.” You seem to thrive on drama, manipulation, and creating divides within the community.

      For context, I’m autistic and have learning disabilities and you mocked me for struggling to articulate myself clearly, which felt unnecessarily cruel. I hope others see through your behavior and recognize the harm it causes, particularly to users who approach this space in good faith. You tried to gatekeep my condition and at the same time weaponizing it just to get a one up on others, it’s truly disgusting because not only you, but people I had genuine interactions with for years thought I was behind it all and you started to push the narrative that I was just a random cis neurotypical wrecker. Given how badly you want people to be against certain powerposters, only those who see through your bullshit, it would only make sense that you would attempt to drown them out, it’s funny because you have nothing to offer other than fake sincerity that naive users fall for, and being a shitty debate lord, you’re unfunny, you’re not special, you’re not unique, your kind are so common on the internet so it’s very easy to figure you out.

      I’m committed to stepping away from this platform because it’s become increasingly unwelcoming especially with users like you creating such a toxic environment. The coordinated pile on you initiated came at a particularly difficult time for me, and it solidified my decision to leave for good.

      I only wish more people could see through the facade you've created. You manipulate others with your fake sincerity but it's obvious to anyone paying attention that your main goal is to stir up drama and divide the community, again coincidentally you always return whenever there’s drama and i've been online long enough to recognize troll behavior when I see it, and you're nothing more than a transparent instigator trying to build yourself up at others' expense. Eventually people will see you for what you really are: a petty, insecure person desperate for validation on a niche website. You’re just a dork redditor clinging to this platform like it’s your whole identity. Enjoy being a loser online while the rest of us move on with our lives.

      Also stay mad because I won’t be replying teehee. Go back to reddit lol

        This isn't me BTW

        But fucking preach, REgon you need to calm the fuck down about this and stop peddling deranged nonsense. This isn't the posting trenches, you don't need to turn your terminally online debate bro habits against the site because you're bored.

            What's toxic is the sheer amount of your disagreement. You'll come back to days old arguments where the offending parties already gotten banned and you'll needlessly tack on nonsense. Again, Mods enforcing rules is not some sort of special tyranny that's oppressing you, get over yourself.

      I'm sorry regon but it's been more than 4 years since this started. Even without the purges most of the OGs would still be gone by now due to just drifting away. Youre trying to make gold out of straw.

          They were honestly probably another one of your alts, you’re trying to be dismissive of criticisms made against you by several users and trivializing the situation by creating an alt to be rude to you so they can be banned in the modlog so you can be brandished as a hero. Your tactics are tired, you’re a dork.

          I remember the “debate.bro” accounts back when the dunk tank struggle session occurred, they’re literally your alts
