I've made several alts over the years and it's wild to see how badly wreckers fumble on sounding like a leftist.

I used to think I needed to build more credibility before making a post, but it's not the case at all. If you're cool and stay consistent in your values, people here are so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for being a cool community who bans transphobes, debate lords, and chuds.

You see it all the time with how they pretend to be black. They'll type out some 1980s parody version of AAVE and think they sound convincing. My favorite, though, is the whole "As a life-long democrat, I'm no longer part of the looney left."

Any actual leftist wouldn't mention membership to the democratic party except as a source of radicalization lmao

The main problem with trolls and wreckers who pop up here is that they have no education, whether its politics in general or this site's history

So when they start yapping like strawman versions of us, we spot them immediately

When a longer-term Hexbear account has a reactionary meltdown over a specific treat or struggle session, I sometimes wonder if they were some kind of more successful infiltrator that finally lost their patience and couldn't wear the mask any longer. Sometimes those meltdowns are remarkable, almost like a shapeshifter losing their disguise shape.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If I can pointificate I would say it's equally likely to just be someone who has a personal experience which gave them a reactionary stance on a specific issue, hence meltdown. Always wild to see a ban on a four year account tho.

I'm glad that HexbearGPT and their "ironic" edgy bullying and veiled bigotry was finally banned. Flew "ironically" too close to the sun at last. sickarus

And they registered right around the time FuckYourselfEndless was banned soviet-hmm

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago

Nah when I meltdown it'll be because I'm emotionally unstable and have shit takes

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I just assume 90% of people you perceive as good and well meaning have at least one very random and very bad opinion they feel very strongly about.

"Hello fellow leftists, I have this new ideology called "trickle-down anarchy" where the anarchy trickles down from the state! Pretty cool huh?"

My "favorites" are the ones who believe we're all frothing NazBols who hate minorities

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes we get nazbols here. Remember that "OrganizeOrDie" nazbol that was wishing death upon people with depression?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I do not in fact remember this person, and based on your description of them, that's something to be thankful for.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago

They were called OrganizeOrDie, but they made something like ten alts over the next few days, screaming increasingly mass-murdery power fantasies about what (ableist slurs here) deserved for failing their idea of what real revolution ought to be.

And then us old account havers get cancelled for having lawns! And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dandelions 4 life! Unlimited weeds on the suburban world!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Did somebody actually get banned for (presumably) getting mad/hostile over a lawn discussion? lol, lmao even.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

pronouns, cats, rocks, beans, lawns,

Winter Soldier activation code words, but for Hexbears

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Rocks and beans aren’t self explanatory, but I get how lawns and the rest are one via context of the dandelion comment (I think, gotta feed the bees).

Oh, and cooking oil. Who got mad over sesame oil oil or whatever lol.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

rock stacking is bad and disrupts natural ecosystems, beans is a tagline, lawns are an affront to god

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

Oh, so it was about rock stacking out in nature. I get it, leave no trace type stuff.

It's spillover drama from discord, might be the silliest/funniest of the bunch

My favorite was that one who simultaneously started a thread that seemed perfectly innocuous and normal while immediately tossing out slurs in another thread

It's like, the site ain't that big, you're on the front page smearing yourself with shit and going "I am a normal leftist, like you all"

We have the best mods, don't we folks? We love them so very much trump-enlightened

Ok I was offline for like... 20 hours tops. What happened this time?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nothing to my knowledge. I was just reflecting on my new account and how nobody has ever given me shit while my alts were new.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Hexbear's been pretty chill for the past couple years. Barring usual "I'm bored" tearing up the furniture when nothing in the news is getting our attention.

That Olympic break dancing person for example, saw the posts on that one and just said to my boyfriend "Hexbear is bored, musta been an all right day" and logged off.
