Hexbear’s new head of operations just dropped, and their way of dealing with the fallout of their last struggle session is to hand bans out like candy to their concerned and disillusioned users while throwing out “epic” quips like insecure teenagers along the way coupled with their communication (and seemingly contempt) towards their own userbase which isn’t helping their allegations at all and the revelations that were learned about Hexbear’s moderators and admins from their most recent struggle session.
The last few days have honestly shaken my faith in Hexbear and their team and I hope the mods and admins at Lemmygrad are monitoring the situation closely.
Ya, look, I don’t have any particular beef with any admin or mod or whatever, I’ve never had a cross word with anyone. But it’s pretty weird that someone can disappear for years and then come back as an admin overnight, and even weirder that half the forum seems to have some cult of personality around them that’s been maintained in their absence like some kind of cargo cult, lol.
Then you have the fact that seemingly some of the people accusing the wider community of being liberals/cishetbros/self-hating trans(?) are themselves displaying liberal attitudes when they receive comradely criticism.
I dunno man it’s all too terminally online for me.
