Best thing to ever happen to us. It feels so nice being able to say that billionaires should get the
without getting banned immediately for being “uncivil”.Honestly yeah, we were on borrowed time being on reddit anyway, chapo was only tolerated for so long. Not to mention the mods of the old sub were weird nerds that would ban people for disagreeing with them or downvoting their dumb bits. Hexbear is waaay healthier and actually feels like a community.

not you, you’ve always been coolI’m the one that invented the main rule. I’m like one of the most arbitrary people around that fell upwards the ladder of nerddom
lmao and also I will NEVER comment main, I will always sincere post on a main post.
My greatest weakness! Someone putting so much effort into their post that it actually makes me feel bad to remove it for a bit
ban people for disagreeing with them
This phrase is my personal pet peeve. The mods then weren’t great but they didn’t ban people because they hated disagreements as a concept, they wouldn’t ban you if you disagreed with them on your favorite pizza toppings or about the best Star Wars trilogy.
They banned people for the substance of their opinions just like the hexbear mods do. Hexbear mods will ban zionists not because they can’t stand anyone who disagrees with them, but because they can’t stand zionists. Let’s not pretend like hexbear welcomes opinions from the entire political spectrum. We just differ from the r/cth mods in what exact opinions we deem banworthy.
Edit: To be clear I do not think this is a bad thing. I support the mods banning people with terrible opinions.
Fair enough
That comment came off as more confrontational than intended mb
No worries

Oldheads so jaded about rebr0 they forget about hayaca smdh my dick head
Kill all slavers.
and landlords
and nazis
so much for
😠
It’s wild that they still allow /r/trueanon and /r/shitliberalssay. Both have the same tone of posting and most of the same posters. Chapotraphouse hit a unique nerve with reddit.
And death to slave masters.
r/shitliberalssay was pretty mild back then compared to chapo or moretankiechapo.
I don’t think I was subscribed at the same time I was r/chapotraphouse in like 2015, but by maybe 2019 the comment section was a real proto-/c/slop. They have that same kind of metamodernist dada culture where they’re chaotic good feral dogs.
Chapo was a much larger sub, and getting bigger all the time. It was big enough that it was the spectre haunting Reddit, so with that came enough infamy for the admins to ban it.
I legit had liberals on a “politically neutral” Discord server telling me to “go back to Chapo” in 2023. It’s clear it has left an imprint on their online psyche
God, was it only five years ago. I feel like I’ve been here forever
“promoting hate” is apparently “I don’t think slaveowners should be alive.”
Similar story to today where “promoting hate” is “I don’t think killing children is okay”
I’m glad y’all eventually joined the federation experiment - Lemmy would be almost entirely libs without the hexbears. Grad and .ml would be overwhelmed.
it’s ok they banned the already-empty /r/the_donald as consolation
They may have lost the reddit battle but they won the war.
Twice!
Happy Independence Day!
been here since the ban (on different accounts) kill all slave owners
Death to slave owners.
Death to slave traders.
Death to blood thirsty fascist
Death to their enablers
They genuinely thought kill slave owners meant, we will kill you for you 401k.
No they didn’t. They just needed some little thing to get upset about to justify purging us. We were getting too popular and the great NATOification of all social media had to be complete.
i got banned from reddit 3 months ago? for writing “luigi” and nothing more on a PGE rate increase post in my local sub
They did us a favor
Also the first time I felt old was when we moved to the discord chat, the main chat was moving so fast I couldn’t even read it. Then we had to make the slow chat lol
The discord was a nightmare for my boomer ass brain
I think they literally named the slow one the boomer chat lol
yup, i still hate discord
being a boomer is when you don’t want to stare at a ceaseless stream of largely incoherent incomplete sentences and random emojis
the fedposting was a bigger problem
Honestly, probably the best thing to happen to us. Look at us.
Good for us, bad for all the regular people who were getting exposed to far left ideas on their r/all feed.
Who would’ve thought?
