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.
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
