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.
…why? Lemmygrad was right there in the corner.
Hexbear always gave me a party vibe, Lemmygrad - a library.
Idk tbh, regardless I feel like they don’t have to be contradictory
I come to this site for the shitposts and the genuine discussion and political education resources
I should also mention the proposal post later also had statements from mods who said they proposed the idea cuz they thought “dunk” culture has “cishet white vibes”, which… idk, is maybe fair, Hexbear is rly white sometimes and I would hate for people to be put off by that (good reason to be put off ofc). It wasn’t rly elaborated upon though
I’ll party at the library.
Hexbear has a bunch of anarchist users, for one thing.
hexbear is deliberately left unity, grad isn’t
the admins seem to have wanted HB to be more serious for a long time now, well before federation.
LG is also not a left unity space the way HB is. it would only be a suitable fit for some (admittedly likely most) of our users.
They must fucking hate me then lmao
We need a new Hexbear, with blackjack and hookers!
Lmao nah, we just need to get rid of some of the problematic mods and unban the people who were wrongfully banned and learn from the damn experience, like I know we can.
They should lead by example.
They should log the fuck off
sure, i agree with that. i think i’d personally rather they just dropped the notion altogether, or even just accept that you can have both in the same space with little detriment.
mostly i just wish they weren’t doing…whatever this is.
Hexbears seem averse to posting here. When cheap dunking posts were banned, they created another tank comm instead of posting to SRS or SUS. Even now that the tanks are shut, there haven’t been any bears that’ve posted to lemmygrad’s equivalent comms.
I’m kind of worried I’d be intruding if I posted on grad. You guys are the cool kids and I’m just a clown.
Don’t be! We’d love to have you here! (And be sure to report any transphobic shitheads to the mods as well, they aren’t any more welcome here than they are on Hexbear)
Hexbear was around for a couple years before federation was a thing so a lot of people only ever post there.
Also, and I say this as a frequent Hexbear poster, the average Hexbear user has read zero theory and just wants somewhere lefty to shitpost. There is not a ton of overlap between them and people that use Lemmygrad/Leftypol/etc
