Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Edit: ClimateChangeAnxiety send me a private message to say I had things the wrong interpretation of things. They simply recycled their account for opsec reasons. They also said they appreciated everyone's comments!

old post

This comrade and long-time Hexbear recently permanently deleted their account. I normally wouldn't make this any of my business, except in this instance I have reason to believe that they may have done so because they felt like they were being mocked or shamed by other members of our community over a popular post they made years ago on a controversial topic.

If you're reading this, comrade, know this: You have nothing to be ashamed of; we valued you in our community—and FWIW I agreed with your post! I know others did too.

I don't even think the comrade who linked to your post was trying to mock you; they seemed kind of agnostic on the topic. I think they were simply dropping relevant site lore in an honest attempt to inform the derisively incredulous, without realizing how that might be perceived by (in?) such a close-knit community.

It is the nature of topics like this that they (frequently) appear unhinged to the uninformed. Remember that that's their problem.

Not sure what the post was but I like this user.

i believe it was about the ft. detrick lab leak theory

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh right, I don't see what the problem is. Maybe untrue maybe true, who the fuck knows? None of us. I don't know, I'm fine with conspiracy, kinda enjoy a good one if I'm perfectly honest.

yeah i'm not really sure why CCA felt the need to delete the post let alone their whole ass account over it. i share OP's belief that the person linking their comment was just interested in sharing.

wrt conspiracies i'm inclined to feel similarly: it could be true and even if it's not it's pretty funny and gives you an interesting angle of approach on the topic. which for my money is what a good conspiracy theory should be.

i just hope we see them again. failing that, i at least hope they don't feel ashamed or made fun of.

That's what I was referring to, but it turns out it wasn't about that at all (see edit).

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

glad to know we'll still see them around!
