Lol what the actual fuck is going on hexbear. We’re supposed to accept genocidal jackboots (some with nazi tattoos), apparently we’re remaking the clean Wehrmacht myth with how “propaganda” affects those who join the military even though most military is middle-class and on a DPRK post you can see a “Yay, more bombs” tongue-in-cheek post!
This is literally all happening within the past like week.
The change has been happening for over a year. This time last year the admin team was picking off/driving out quality power posters and while pulling in libs from blue sky and reddit. Remember when they tried to permaban Awoo? That was not a one off it was just them finding the limits of who they could purge in their quest to liberalize the community.
The rot always spreads from the top. And anti-imperialist sentiments are always the first thing to go.
Putting it that way makes sense.
yeah the discussion around vets is making me super uncomfortable there.
I think it’s gross how you stating that it made you uncomfortable got you a downvote. Person can direct their ire at me all they want behind the block-wall, downvoting you for stating that is just gross.
Glad I blocked them.
I was driven out of there a month ago or so for similar reasons. There’s a problem with the mods, they defended Zionist arguments for years regarding the Israel emoji and banned anybody who brought it up.
I remember that. Civility policing. All too familiar.

I’m actually doing some investigation into this, not detective-wise just as I’m curious about these sort of things and I don’t want to open my mouth if I don’t know what I’m talking about. I have noticed that there is an option to purge entirely, like you said, from modlog, user-base, etc. I have noticed exactly what you’re describing with that already, it’s interesting to see it backed up as well. Trying to think of any other reason falls short to me.
Gonna be vague-posting, events like these that I’ve experienced in the past and much worse has lead me to some unsurprising conclusions that none of these actually have any effect on you if you know exactly how fortified you are. I’m comfortable. Not out of laziness or complacency, either. Not justifying anything (seriously, I’m not), just offering some advice for the future if it’s possible to take it. Curiously, I wonder if the account that was deleted entirely was the ones with certain logs attached. Did you save any of these?
On the other side of the coin, I do believe Nakoichi was punished. I had a talk with them a while ago about some hexbear events and they mentioned to me that they were removed from a moderator position. Was this something else? Sorry for the questions, am curious.

If you are in a western country, strongly consider devoting time to leaving rather than reasoning with western leftists
Turns out Platner literally guarded the Abu Ghraib where he got his first combat experience. This keeps getting worse and worse lol
Remember! I’m emotional and lack analysis because of this! Now add in a random diatribe about a AES state and call it self-crit to complete the slop-chain.
Yeah, glad I stopped using Hexbear anywhere near as much a few months ago. Hell of a lot of idealism and supporting Yankee bullshit.
Nazi bar
More and more glad they banned me from their instance.
I’m also confused on why people go with the whole “Oooh I thought you were so cooool until now” and it’s like, sorry, I’m not one particularly for para-social relationships online. Probably why I never got into streamers or any of those influencers.
