Hexbear lore: The "power dynamics" thread

hexbear.net Hot take: 26 year olds should not fuck 19 year olds. - Hexbear

It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

  • Jaysus wept... a coupled piked heads from @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net to @Pluto@hexbear.net...

    Now, I'm gonna check their ban logs...

    • Oh, Pluto finally got banned? What was the final straw?

      • Shitstirring... see his modlog, specifically on his askchapo post about Gaddafi....

        • Could never tell if that person was doing a bit or not. His posts always seemed like he was trying to troll, but he would always double down in a way that really didn't come across as a joke.

          • .

            Edit: @asante@hexbear.net wrote about this

            check the modlog (there are 7 pages dedicated to him). but basically:

            • kept being sectarian (expressing his dislike of Maoists, anarchists, etc.)
            • kept posting and commenting in the wrong places (i'd say half of his modlog is just this)
            • would crosspost to 10+ communities for every post
            • seems to have instigated a lot of the arguments he had here
            • was temp/perma banned many times (on different instances too) for all these reasons but despite apologising didn't change his ways
            • and may have doxxed someone (check the modlog for this, a mod called him out on it)

            but my impression of Pluto was initially positive too. feels weird seeing a fairly prominent Hexbear user be permanently banned, but wow he sounds like a lot for the mods to deal with and banning him seems more than justifiable to me now.

            edit: doxxing point from here

              This is kind of how I feel about the situation. If someone isn't going to learn from their mistakes, they should go somewhere else where that will be tolerated rather than giving the mods a headache every time they post.

            • I'm honestly so happy to see them go. Seeing them defend CPUSA on every post that critiqued them whilst adding nothing of substance to the conversation was super annoying.

          • I think he was serious...
