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

I’ve seen some shit man
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.
I was there, comrade. I was there six thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of the mods failed.
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
and left anywayYeah, 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
It was also just so incredibly pointless
Seems like there was really only one side to the drama considering how it died down after that side disappeared, and how it had kept going until then despite a bunch of purges
Too bad that one side had a (former) admin on their side. But eventually that admin got exposed for being a liberal Zionist over a silly emote and nobody respected what that admin said anymore. That admin’s final act on this website was arguing with users about /c/slop because “/c/slop was too toxic.”
It’s really telling how much drama was created by a core group of an admin and her orbiters. I’m also pretty sure frauddogg was one of the people who made that “debatbrox” thing.
Christ the revisionism people are attempting in this thread is kinda annoying me, acting as if there were two equal sides to it.
Now that the dust has settled, the honest truth is that almost every single site vs admin struggle session can be traced back to whatever bullshit idea Lyudmila had that nobody else thought was a good idea or some bullshit Lyudmila started that other admins like Carcosa had to clean up. And I am still convinced that infamous fake self-crit was her using another account. The timeline matches. ZoomeristLeninist stopped posting at the precise moment Lyudmila started posting. ZoomeristLeninist, like Lyudmila, had some bizarre fixation over /c/the_dunk_tank in the same exact way Lyudmila had with /c/slop. ZoomeristLeninist, like Lyudmila, was also hilariously out of touch with the website. “/c/the_dunk_tank was bad because only cishet white dudes dunk on other people. We’ll have /c/gossip even though multiple fem users think the word “gossip” is misogynistic.”
I remember that “self crit” thing. I got threatened with a ban for “relitigating old drama” when I linked to it in one of the mega threads about the_dunk_tank thing.
I don’t know if they’re the same though. Seems like there was a group of users mad about the dunk tank. And it’s not like that was the first or only thing. Going way back the closing of main was due to a similar tantrum. I remember Lyudmila and some other mod writing about closing down the news mega too. I know carcosa had a mega where that was a question at one point too.I looked thru some old threads a while ago and got so sad looking at the sea of banned posters. So many good users that were just kicked to the dust and pushed away. The site culture feels so thin now. There were so many engaged users who either got banned or left over that or another debacle. And for what?
I miss foucaults and all the others. Looking at old effort posts I’ve saved and seeing the user hasnt been active for two years gets to me.
That’s not two mention all the people that got bullied out the same way, nor all the people who left during TC69s first try.Apparently shes involved in org work in real life, which I find impossible to believe unless she’s a fed who’s aware of what she does. Or maybe she got all her issues out here. Or maybe she’s the type of person who goes mad with what little power they have.
And then her crashing out a few days after carcosa got kicked and the Israeli flag got out in was just the cherry on top. What a piece of shit.
And for some reason the revisionism goes on, it’s “everyone was silly” and all that. I don’t know what it is.
i remember saying to someone that it also seemed it like it all practically stopped overnight too.
Rip to them but I’m different
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.
omg samesies
The hard autumn of '24…few alive today dare even mention that bloodbath
No. They simply should have had good and correct opinions all the time and then they’d have a 5 year account like me 🤓
many got banned precisely because they had good and correct opinions. Being correct too early is the #1 cause of being banned here
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.
Yeah, I never really interrogated it. I just do a good job of keeping my nose out of drama and have really good opinions
I’m all over the drama and have a 5 year account. That’s the power of being more dialectical than everyone else.

“So uh, do you think cats should be able to have salami?”
Is it an outdoor cat?
If you’ve never been in trouble you’ve never really posted.
I kinda got called out by an admin and never got banned…
That counts. Youre a real poster

This is what happens when you fill your site with tankies!
5·2 days agoWhat? Why hasn’t it been removed on hexbears side?
ⓘ This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.
They fell in battle like the weaklings they are, only the strong survive on hb.
go back to old megathreads and scroll, it’s like 75% banned. This site really has an issue with friendly fire
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.
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?
