I posted this to c/den a few hours ago, but @Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net informed me that the community is not visible to lurkers, so I deleted it and reposted it here.

Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. 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!
Well then I will repost my comment about liking that particular user and hoping they come back.

One does not simply walk out of hexbear
Also repeating myself: Dang it, they will be missed.
Aw, that sucks
i also feel a lot of anxiety about climate change so it was always nice having them around. i hope they come back.
Not sure what the post was but I like this user.
i believe it was about the ft. detrick lab leak theory
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).
glad to know we'll still see them around!
Hate to see anyone leave or delete their account. 
This comrade and long-time Hexbear recently permanently deleted their account.

I just push all the times I've been mocked and shamed out of my memory, e-z
(this comment not intended to mock/shame anyone, hope CCA comes back)
Me, too. I liked them =( Get your account back!
over a popular post they made years ago on a controversial topic.
Oh come on. Poor them I guess.
I had it wrong. I was projecting my fear of ridicule onto others.
It seems like a lot of people have deleted their accounts. Such a loss.
this sucks ass, I always liked to see their posts
