Oh god no we've ruined it

I think that posting outside of megathreads should be encouraged. I don't really engage with them much because I think it's a bad format for discussion, though I understand that other people like it, but a lot of posts really should be posted in communities as posts I think.

If thousands of posts are instead comments, we look a lot less active as a website.

Ban yank tanks

In Darwin, Australia they're just as bad. They also like to get drunk on Mitchell Street and then drive back to the base drunk.

It's an occupation force, they see locals as subjects instead of people

It seems they're just trying to memory hole it now.

The newest statement claims everyone was unbanned, which isn't true. The sockpuppet being used for the new post claims that it was all drama over the AlaskaBall misgendering and banning, which isn't true. So here's my extremely biased version of events(They banned me for opposing their bullshit, thus creating this bias.)

The mods wanted to rename the dunk tank, due to the racist origins, but due to federation reasons renaming communities doesn't work properly, so they locked it and the dredge tank entirely and replaced them with poorly defined pseudo-replacements.

People question this choice and are given a mod statement that misgenders most of the website at the same time, and contains a self-harm reference without a CW.

People question this post and the admin that acted as the mouthpiece steps down. The thread is locked and a new one is made.

Basically no one wanted that and most people want the admin back. The admin comes back.

AlaskaBall bans themself from a new alt, and then when questioned on it, misgenders themself. This was the misunderstanding element of this.

Stuff blows up massively now, since an admin seems to have done something very transphobic and uncool.

Another thread is made, where dissenting voices are banned for three days. One of these bans is reversed and no longer shows in the mod log.

TC69 does a "joke" and posts offering random bans to replies, she then bans people who don't reply to that post with the same message.

This is around when this thread is made.

Then another thread, using a brand new admin alt, claims that the bans have been reversed (they haven't)

And the rest (me) remain banned. Only four of the banned users are actually unbanned.

People have already pointed out that the bans haven't actually been removed.

Overall, the Hexbear admin team shoved a stick into their own bike wheel and are blaming he/hims, despite the obvious fact that can be seen by checking the pronouns of those linked users (and me).

edit: I'm unbanned now

Whoever came up with it and whoever signed off on it. Anyone who saw it, read it, and understood what it said and DIDN'T object should self-crit heavily at the very least.

Horrid that the actual community isnt the first priority. Total betrayal

People don't take STDs that seriously

If you learn to cook now, you can get a cooks position and put deadly mushrooms in the food.

Unless they outsource that to McDonalds, which they might

I thought this comic was a bit strawmany until I read your comment.

You're the butt of the comic's joke.

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal is already cooked.

They're going to make the protesters felons to strip their vote. The libs will then blame the protesters for getting arrested and thus not voting Biden. Which is a vote for trump, which means they're trump voters. Which means they deserve it.

Obviously
