Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve? (hexbear.net)

Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I'm not like those other mean Hexbearians. I'm one of the good ones, I promise. I just want choke

I just want you to love me. I'm so sorry for being on Hexbear. Please, please forgive me. I'll do anything. Anything.

Do you want me to stop using emojis? Done. No more PPB? Done. Intense sobbing

I hereby forswear socialism. I'm a liberal now. Do you love me now? Please? Please? Just pick me.

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

Edit: @comr@hexbear.net got banned. Eat shit

if you're not already doing so, I recommend talking to our mod team because we went through similar crises when the site was younger. I think the realization we all came to eventually was that accounts are cheap - people can always remake them and change their behavior to be less corrosive to the site - so being free with the banhammer is ultimately less of a tax than just letting people stir up drama endlessly.

Yeah. They should honestly just nuke these accounts from orbit every time they start posting the bullshit.

The worst that could happen is that they make another account to post the same garbage again, and the best that could happen would be users not posting bullshit anymore so they don't have to keep making new accounts. Sounds like a win to me
