Hexbear’s new head of operations just dropped, and their way of dealing with the fallout of their last struggle session is to hand bans out like candy to their concerned and disillusioned users while throwing out “epic” quips like insecure teenagers along the way coupled with their communication (and seemingly contempt) towards their own userbase which isn’t helping their allegations at all and the revelations that were learned about Hexbear’s moderators and admins from their most recent struggle session.
The last few days have honestly shaken my faith in Hexbear and their team and I hope the mods and admins at Lemmygrad are monitoring the situation closely.
To prevent Hexbear’s internal struggle from spilling over to here and derailing this thread as a whole, we will be locking it. A lot has been said already in the comments and we feel like we are involved in Hexbear too little to a) contribute positively and b) moderate reports that require knowledge on Hexbear history.
I think I can safely say that we hope Hexbear manages to overcome their internal issues again.
I am once again asking a bunch of fringe online leftists to stop being so delulu as to think themselves as the new international vanguard ffs
This too. The serious platform shit is not happening. You scroll down to the bottom of Hexbear, click a link and you get a picture of a pig pooping on it’s own balls.
The entire space is literally synonymous with that. The Pig Poop Balls Vanguard isn’t gonna be a thing.

I feel the same. Ironically the mod’s attempts to make the site more “serious” is probably just going to do the opposite. I’ve spoken at length about this before, but you don’t get people to learn and discuss leftist theory by insisting it is always serious business and you aren’t allowed to joke around or acknowledge how fucked up our capitalist society is.
It’ll just chase people away, which is a shame, though that might be a “win” as far as the mods are concerned. There’s plenty of “serious” leftist groups out there with half a dozen members with their own very specific interpretation of theory with 0 fun allowed, but I can’t really think of anywhere else quite like Hexbear. I don’t want to see them become yet another insular “leftist” space that is actively hostile to people who don’t take themselves as seriously as the world’s most dedicated Internet Leftists.
I’m probably overreacting though, as others have said, this isn’t the first time mods on Hexbear have gone full reddit mod and won’t be the last.
Hard agree. The fact that its fun is what I’ve always liked best about hexbear. It’s easy to find serious stuff. Its good to have a left space to laugh about it
