hexbear major lore posts?
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
You're viewing a single thread.
By transphobe purging do you mean the blanket removal of accounts that didn't sufficiently upvote the mods posts?
possibly? I wasn't around back then so all I can go based off is how people talk about it and people normally post pretty fond things about the beginning of the site where all transphobes were purged, idk how much friendly fire was involved in this or whatever
It looks like the original posts have been removed, so clicking on "context" won't work, but if you search for "reactionary voting patterns" and sort by Old you'll find some of the comments.
everything I see when i search that is about downvotes, not upvoting mod votes
I think that was an exaggeration. There were people who claimed they were banned for not upvoting BrookBaybee's "I love my trans comrades!" posts, and maybe some people remembered it that way, but it sounds like it was actually because they were downvoting them and other pro-trans threads.
yeah i saw that thread but anyone who goes to r/stupidpol to complain deserved whatever ban came their way i wasn't sure if you were talking about another thread
I agree. No, I was just looking for ways to search for this.
people normally post pretty fond things
T69 alts know where to find me
I thought it was less that you didn't upvote those, and more the stuff you DID upvote?
i may be misremembering -- maybe there was a purging for downvoting a mod's posts, or upvoting meta-posts that were critical of a particular mod (all in conjunction with failing to post a requisite number of times).
downvotes were the first thing to be litigated, with trans posting and posters getting a bunch of consistent downvoters, I don't remember a mass litigating of people's upvotes, but the mods definitely have that tooling to see who upvoted a particularly noxious comment, and see patterns
