WTF is happening on Hexbear? (lemmygrad.ml)

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.

There’s no harm in positive affirmations like that

Isn't there? What about people who don't want to engage in 2 Minutes of Hate or profess their love for Big Brother? Not because they don't love Big Brother, but because they feel weird being expected to publicly affirm something, as any thinking person should. The public affirmations aren't done to "help trans people" they're done to confirm group membership, to weed out those who don't play along and those who don't just blindly follow and do as they're told.

In former socialist countries the most "ideologically pure" communists who loved the Party and were quick to point fingers at others for not being socialist enough, are the same ones who were the first to betray the people, turn liberal and enrich themselves in the wave of privatisations, securing for themselves a comfortable position in the new liberal capitalist society.

disgost The fuck are you on about? We're not talking about sieg heiling, we're talking about affirming that a space is not only friendly to trans people, but vocally so.

but because they feel weird being expected to publicly affirm something

big-honk Fuck off! No one forced anyone to ever post in those threads! Why would you feel imposed upon?? Why would expressing acceptance of your trans comrades make you feel weird??

This shit is why we had those threads too. It really fucking makes the weeds stick out. And maybe friendly fire happened sometimes, and unfortunately for Gribbli's friend it was a strongly negative experience, but look what happens when some comrades are confronted with it. That's why TC69 had a cult of personality. Because she has a point.
