Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

the admins seem to have wanted HB to be more serious for a long time now, well before federation.
LG is also not a left unity space the way HB is. it would only be a suitable fit for some (admittedly likely most) of our users.
They should lead by example.
sure, i agree with that. i think i'd personally rather they just dropped the notion altogether, or even just accept that you can have both in the same space with little detriment.
mostly i just wish they weren't doing...whatever this is.
They should log the fuck off
We need a new Hexbear, with blackjack and hookers!
Hexbears seem averse to posting here. When cheap dunking posts were banned, they created another tank comm instead of posting to SRS or SUS. Even now that the tanks are shut, there haven't been any bears that've posted to lemmygrad's equivalent comms.
Hexbear was around for a couple years before federation was a thing so a lot of people only ever post there.
Also, and I say this as a frequent Hexbear poster, the average Hexbear user has read zero theory and just wants somewhere lefty to shitpost. There is not a ton of overlap between them and people that use Lemmygrad/Leftypol/etc
I'll party at the library.
hexbear is deliberately left unity, grad isn't
Hexbear has a bunch of anarchist users, for one thing.
Honestly almost all of the response by leadership vs users is temp bans, so I'm thinking actual damages aren't even that bad? But the blood is up so maybe cooling down while whatever behind the scenes stuff gets figured out might be good.
Was a long time HB member since the subreddit days. Autistic, black, nb, so none of the accusations of cishet white male vibes applied to me - that was annoying. The flippant dismissal and joking around with this entirely irony poisoned energy with mods still doing bits and lying about shit was straight up aggravating. Ate the perma because like a few people there, I don't think I could trust the mods/admins after that. It's not a high stakes thing for me but that means it's also low enough stakes that I really don't want to deal with that attitude any more.
They reversed a few bans, but not mine. So apparently something I said was particularly objectionable. I'm not sure what though.
I figured it out: It's people who were banned with the haha funny bit reason when it was pointed out they hadn't actually requested a random ban and were clearly just banned out of spite.
This does seem a lot like the mods wanted to obfuscate the bans of people being critical
