MODERATORS
 

It should have been me, not them. If I just owned the mods hard enough in debate, maybe they could have been saved.

No, but I miss @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net who got kicked out over moderator drama and later on the people who conspired to kick out foucaults crashed out over isntrael and left anyway

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Yeah, it's interesting how many people on both sides of moderator drama aren't here any more. Probably for the best really, moderator drama has really slowed down since they left.

That petty shit should be kept off the site, it's embarrassing pain

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

It was also just so incredibly pointless

go back to old megathreads and scroll, it's like 75% banned. This site really has an issue with friendly fire

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Struggle sessions over indoor/outdoor cats. I watched rocks stacked in the dark near the Bannhäuser Gate. All those posts will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to be banned.

chomsky-yes-honey I was there, comrade. I was there six thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of the mods failed.

Unfortunately, my takes here are as mild as grocery store salsa.

Somehow, I'm considered spicy outside leftist areas and have to keep the lid vacuum sealed at work. gustavo-brick-really-rollin

omg samesies

They fell in battle like the weaklings they are, only the strong survive on hb.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

I could make a joke about never getting banned, but I know that would only invite disaster

And if I get banned, who else could provide quality Simpsons memes at the speed of if i'm awake and on my phone?

[–] autism_2@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

I get sad because you guys always have struggle sessions without me

I carry forth the flag of the revolutionaries that fell before me.

I am beginning to feel a little like how Molotov must have felt after the Great Purge.

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago

No, because most of them are still here in their 8th alt

[–] PowerLurker@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The hard autumn of '24...few alive today dare even mention that bloodbath comrade-stoic

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Weep not for the lost, their purpose has been fulfilled.

You must claim the bits of your fallen comrades and weave them into your badposting.

The greatest poster will be born piecemeal from the crucible of who have strove to post only to fail.

[–] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Rip to them but I'm different

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (6 children)

No. They simply should have had good and correct opinions all the time and then they'd have a 5 year account like me 🤓

[–] InexplicableLunchFiend@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

many got banned precisely because they had good and correct opinions. Being correct too early is the #1 cause of being banned here

[–] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, you're forgetting the secret third clause. Have good and correct opinions at exactly the right time.

Corollary to that: know when to shut the fuck up and avoid struggle sessions before they blow up in your face.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you've never been in trouble you've never really posted. screm-cool

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I kinda got called out by an admin and never got banned...

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

That counts. Youre a real poster catgirl-salute

I only ban myself (uhhhh don't ban me as a joke... MODS!!!?! MOOOODDDS!!!!!i!1?I!!!) and lurk in the shadows, cultivating tankieness.

[–] BironyPoisoned@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you haven't been banned at least once, then you haven't effort posted on this site. If you haven't noticed a problem with the moderation, then you haven't been paying attention.

But accounts are cheap to make so it's not like you lose anything. I'd prefer if this site was all anonymous posters to prevent cliques and other shit.

I almost never read the usernames im-doing-my-part
