there's a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I'll take any i can get my hands on
Bonus points for the fact she very nearly went on Sky News australian TV to be totally not mad about it.
That is probably the closest this place ever came to mainstream relevance and it was one of the most glorious days in site history.
Also people failed to mention that Yugopnik came here specifically looking to hire @EugeneVDabs@hexbear.net as an editor and the fact that Dabs got banned by Youtube specifically for pissing off the BBC by calling out their blatant pro-Nazi coverage of Ukraine.
Also not worth a writeup but I am the original creator of the viral meme of the NYC funeral they live glasses Nazi edit so that is my claim to fame.
getting mentioned on auSStralian tv because of how hard the site owned a dumb rich terf is the only thing that could have surpassed the dave saga. alas, she chickened out
idk dabs posting so hard he pissed off the BBC to the extend they got Youtube not just to take down his channel but to IP ban him from ever even using the site is extremely powerful posting.
Well you can go there yourself anytime and a few people actually have done just that. Otherwise you can DM me and I can keep you posted on whenever more of us go out there to do work in the future. More hands are always welcome as there is a lot of work to be done.
