For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

this is my favorite thing. choice quotes:

"It’s not funny to me anymore that they are the way they are on Hexbear. Now it is just crushing sadness."

"What the heck is this about the “yellow snow” figures and peeing their pants? This is either a Hexbear person writing up creative fiction, or else something real that the Hexbear admins quickly edited or something. This is a really bizarre."

At first I thought this story was written by AI, then I just realised it was written by a redditor. The only way to tell them apart is to mentally add "and then everyone clapped" at the end.

It's definitely a Hexbear. Make sure to read the follow-up.

Oh dang, then I was masterfully trolled, well done Xiaohongshu!

Seems it was an impersonator.

Why do people think xhs2 isn't xhs? Is there any credible evidence or just vibes?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

@[email protected] elaborated accurately, the bit with Alaskaball is the part most telling.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I missed that part

i mean im not sure what credible evidence you're looking for, this is probably as good as you're going to get on a pseudonymous forum https://hexbear.net/comment/6107320

as for the vibes:

not nearly enough mmt posting. also no china dooming

my own experience: i tagged xhs2 with a comment that had anti mmt stuff in it and i wasnt immediately told to read michael hudson's super imperialism to understand mmt https://hexbear.net/comment/6044107

lastly xhs has always been pretty secretive about their personal life (vauge memory of them saying something like they're worried posting on here could get them fired for whatever reason, which always lead me to believe xhs was 24/7 posting on company time lol), so the fact that they mentioned the exact city they were traveling to and that they were visiting family is extremely unusual for them.

Awesome

Vibes but also... why would the user write a deeply unserious satirical post about going to Xinjiang and peeing their pants in solidarity with Uyghurs? Also, look at the modlog

Banned xiaohongshu2 [none/use name]

reason: User Impersonation

i actually dont think it's totally out of the possiblity that xhs would do something like this. they used to troll the news mega with an account called "simulatedliberalism" on the regular. this account is absolutely not xhs tho (see my comment here https://hexbear.net/comment/6108015)

Nothing will top Kaplya. They had posts about how Biden was a cunning imperialist compared to Trump who knew how to wield the dollar as a ultimate trump card, but ended all those posts with, "by the way, vote for Biden as the lesser evil because he's better with trans people."

tbh most of the vote biden posting seemed real unfortunately, that shit never really came off like a bit to me with how often they said it

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

XHS2 gave the mod team the vibes of being a fake

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

I know, I'm questioning the ban. A massive satirical post isn't in the style of xhs, but their post history gives plausible deniability.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Good thing they'll elect the next XHS in the papal conclave
