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?
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
