the fun ones are accounts that have writing styles and other quirks that are so specific you immediately know it's a banned user's new account. there's one user that is so distinct I know one of their accounts on multiple platforms without actually trying to keep track of them lol
Were you there for the guy who expressed his hatred for pumpkin spice drinks through Hanna Barbera usernames?
Oh I FORGOT all about![emoji PSL PSL](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/91d352b1-d61f-4e05-b149-dbeced28364a.png)
wait that was the hana barbera themed guy right
oh yeah that's the good stuff
no. sounds hilarious though lol
He was so persistent in his misogyny. It was incredible to watch given how long it takes between making a profile and posting for the first time.
i assume this was awhile ago? from what I remember it was pretty easy to make accounts on hexbear before they added the application, just had to give a username and password and maybe pass a captcha? at least that's how I remember it when I made my old hexbear account a ~year ago before the reddit exodus and federation came
we have an application now?
yeah admins added it after enabling federation, funnily enough it was supposed to be temporary at the time but ig they decided to keep it. this is what the application is btw it's nothing too hard:
for comparison here is grad's appliation:
I tried to join so many leftist discords a few years ago and they all had questionnaires which were multipage when I finished and the only response I ever got back was one "what?" I have no idea if I put too much work into answering the questions technically because they were technical questions, or if my opinions are just weird AF because I actually read the theory and drew my own conclusions and that's a great way to become quite eccentric and, let's say interestingly, wrong.
Hexbear's is pretty pain free, never been denied.
oh fuck who was the YOU CANNOT DENY ME I WILL NOT BE DENIED poster
oh yeeaah it was ctalin/dtalin/etalin/etc
I made the screenshot. Hell yeah
I've never filled out hexbear's application but I think it's pretty hard to fail grad's too, I got in first try pretty quickly with both my grad accounts and I remember an incident where a 14 year old anticommunist managed to accidentally get an account on grad lol
This was last year, if i recall correctly.
I think it was a couple years ago
Please no. I can't be that old.
it was 2021. sorry
hm wonder how i missed that saga then lol I was a lot more active last year, unless it happened before I first joined in the first part of 2023
The saga only lasted a day or two so it was easy to miss
he actually kept going for a good couple of months - i was modding quite a few comms at the time and as funny as it was it was also such a pain lol
Lol i do, it started in the mega, the og account was twitter i believe
i'm forever proud for starting this guy on his downward spiral. while it was @Edelgard@hexbear.net who posted the thread it was me who shared it with her in the mega lmao
@DeathToBritain@hexbear.net posting a pumpkin spice megathread was the final straw
BMF? Pretty sure they are Open_Commune on the TrueAnon subreddit. They make GOOD posts that are only half coherent
user I'm referring to went by "pluto" on hexbear, although I'm sure BMF is probably pretty easy to identify wherever they go lol
oh yeah how's makan doing anyway lol
he just was the cause of a struggle session about khrushev of all people on grad like a week ago lol (which got his grad account banned from hexbear). grad admins are too lenient like hexbear admins too sometimes lol, they already permabanned him then lowered it to a temp ban but even after he kept shittalking grad for months after (until he started getting into spats with the hexbear admins, anyways, curiously changed his tone real quick when he realized he might get banned from hexbear soon
), it still doesn't really seem like he is on a short leash despite that history on grad already and then being permabanned on both pluto and makan on hexbear
the absolute refusal to self crit was what did it for me. Honestly I almost respect the grind at this point, dude was persistent af
what really made me more mad than anything was what I was alluding to, he shit on lemmygrad for forever (and was outright lying about one of our admins being a patsoc) just because he was mad they tempbanned him, and then came back with an apology post. I thought it was sincere, until I go and look at the modlog a day later and see that he had been unmodded from the comms he was mod in on hexbear and even banned from c/news. made it feel really feel insincere especially since all his other behavior (rabid defense of cpusa, spamming of posts, etc) was pretty much unchanged
There's someone on TrueAnon named liked throwawaybunchanumbers and they write the most sublime stream of consciousness essays on painfully specific things. It's mind-blowing
One I saved from a while ago

"American families tend to be really fucked up and the suburban hellhole just makes it like 10x worsesomething that floats in my head a lot is that I was cooking breakfast and my dad was talking about “when you gonna get a girlfriend” literally never ever because I’m 5’9 and brown and have moderate to severe mental illness and my mom was like “you’d probably try to fuck her you disgusting animal”
i have a recording of my 100 year old neighbor getting into a screaming match with her 60 year old daughter on Christmas. “It’s not about that BAAAAARB”, yells crescendoing like the bwah of an All American Hornline. That same day, my mom and dad were fighting with each other while we ate Mountain Mikes. My NEET younger brother eating pepperoni while having a 1000 yard stare with the Saddam Hussein hair and beard (fucks to give about anything lim->0), fascist brother painting another WW2 Nazi tank (I just appreciate the uniforms and the humanitarian messaging) to sell to Ukrainian sexpats
The social and familial fabric of the Yunaited Estates is one that is profoundly fracturing, shards refracting light into a little diaspora of pain
Interracial couples: tatted up Mexican illegal manager fucking a white girl half his age, Whitey, when are you going to get my papers? Locker room talk as a frazzled future schizocommunist prepares synthetic potatoblend, sex addict mating press in between stories of white girl locking her inherited children in the car during the blazing California summer, frightened little brown boys cooking like biscuits in unfeeling fast food blast furnaces, it just gets worse. Psychologically these kids are going to have soul images that look like the face melt Indiana Jones man, strapped to a bed and drunk on Thorazine: the only respite from the panic is the silence of sleep.
My neighbor killed himself a while ago (the police parked a bearcat on his lawn in response) and his ex-wife showed up and was like, “HIS BITCH SISTER IS NOT GETTING HIS KIDS!!!”
Shut the fuck up and put the mask on and get in the car. For Sally, that might be the push that leads to 15000000000x10143 years of being stooped over a toilet, vomiting out everything they’ve ever eaten.
At the aforementioned “job”, I once saw a man who looked a lot like the guy from Toy Story punch his daughter and call her a difficult child. Of course, difficult children need beatings.
The United States is like some kind of Bosch painting where the abnegation of “child sacrifice” culminates in a capiroted capitalist waiting right at the bottom of the birth canal like it’s Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California with a pine stick, just waiting, always waiting to get a start in the 1776 blows. The first blow is birth, some blows after that is the Pledge Of Alliegiance, the 1776th is realizing there is a 76% chance of never owning a house. Birth experience looking like a Chilean surrealist film. Soon they’ll tell the kids they gotta pay the medical bill, right after they remind them of their instinctive, totally natural ideas about property rights and why people starve in a world that has more material abudance than any other time in the history of the planet.
Focus on the family of course, for that is the germ of all that is wonderful, like domestic violence and being strangled until your eyes bulge, alcoholism and casual abuse, all in a concrete ant farm spackled with Astroturf, the finest Behr paints and apocryphal Joseph Beuys felt and fat origin stories. You were lucky to be born in God’s Country"
The numerous "porn star name and politician name lol" melange chud was one of them. I didn't find them particularly fun though, especially when the "Ron Jeremy" version bullied numerous comrades off this site all in the name of "loving us all" and demanding "normalcy" during a pandemic during New Years, such as "kissing a stranger." Mysterious hangers-on accounts showed up to continue the bullying of "shut-ins" for days afterward.
I hate that piece of shit more than any other former long-term account that eventually got banned.
i blame the admins for that one more than anything. the things they give leeway for at times are really really strange
I've noticed one unmistakable posting style of someone who got banned in the past year but I'm not saying any details because I am thoroughly entertained.
i get the feeling I know a former grad poster who's on hexbear that I don't want to say anything about just in case it somehow gets the user rebanned on grad lol
Catradora Stalinism and her compulsive need to be a raging chud about veganism
tbh it wasn't even that she would make accounts with very obvious callbacks to her name and have like "you can't kill me!" in the bio of each account lol. honestly fascinating because she only ever got banned because she had 0 self control when she would read a comment from a vegan she just couldn't stop herself from arguing about it
(catra they'll never make me hate you if ur reading this)
much appreciated comrade!![emoji lea-finger-guns lea-finger-guns](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/6d2713e4-7408-41d6-994b-db7f16954357.png)
miss you too![emoji heart-sickle heart-sickle](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/14c2707b-51cb-44ed-be2f-f262d088e219.png)
It's so fun playing codebreaker to identify people.
Like trying to find the Zodiac Killer.
i don't bother too much if it's not obvious. i am always curious if anyone has ever recognized me as my old deleted account, I don't think my writing style is that distinct but I've never asked anyone
