HELL yeah this is popping off
69 upbears in badposting and we having a bean feast frfr
No, but I miss @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net who got kicked out over moderator drama and later on the people who conspired to kick out foucaults crashed out over 
and left anyway
Yeah, it's interesting how many people on both sides of moderator drama aren't here any more. Probably for the best really, moderator drama has really slowed down since they left.
That petty shit should be kept off the site, it's embarrassing 
It was also just so incredibly pointless

Seems like there was really only one side to the drama considering how it died down after that side disappeared, and how it had kept going until then despite a bunch of purges
i remember saying to someone that it also seemed it like it all practically stopped overnight too.

I've seen some shit man
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Struggle sessions over indoor/outdoor cats. I watched rocks stacked in the dark near the Bannhäuser Gate. All those posts will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to be banned.
I was there, comrade. I was there six thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of the mods failed.
They fell in battle like the weaklings they are, only the strong survive on hb.

survivor's guilt
hmmmmmm
(i kid i kid mods plz dont ban 
)
I could make a joke about never getting banned, but I know that would only invite disaster
And if I get banned, who else could provide quality Simpsons memes at the speed of if i'm awake and on my phone?
Rip to them but I'm different
Weep not for the lost, their purpose has been fulfilled.
You must claim the bits of your fallen comrades and weave them into your badposting.
The greatest poster will be born piecemeal from the crucible of who have strove to post only to fail.
No. They simply should have had good and correct opinions all the time and then they'd have a 5 year account like me 🤓
Yeah, I never really interrogated it. I just do a good job of keeping my nose out of drama and have really good opinions
I'm all over the drama and have a 5 year account. That's the power of being more dialectical than everyone else.

many got banned precisely because they had good and correct opinions. Being correct too early is the #1 cause of being banned here

Nah, they should have just read "Trans Liberation Beyond Pink or Blue"
no but i do think it's really weird since most of my posts are 
Survivors thrill't
If you haven't been banned at least once, then you haven't effort posted on this site. If you haven't noticed a problem with the moderation, then you haven't been paying attention.
But accounts are cheap to make so it's not like you lose anything. I'd prefer if this site was all anonymous posters to prevent cliques and other shit.
I almost never read the usernames

Lol no. The only questionable decision I have really seen was when there was that brief stint where TC69 was brought back as a moderator.
Otherwise, respect the mods, they literally don't get paid enough for this.

I only ban myself (uhhhh don't ban me as a joke... MODS!!!?! MOOOODDDS!!!!!i!1?I!!!) and lurk in the shadows, cultivating tankieness.
i fly my flag at half mast to honor all the brave posters who aren’t with us today because they were banned in the war of liberal aggression
xFemboiixTrotskiix this one’s for you brother

I get survivors guilt when I think about all the nerds I should have banned sooner tbh
go back to old megathreads and scroll, it's like 75% banned. This site really has an issue with friendly fire
I carry forth the flag of the revolutionaries that fell before me.
I am beginning to feel a little like how Molotov must have felt after the Great Purge.
No. They could have simply posted better
I don't pay much attention to site drama but I really wish the guy who offered to buy me a gun was still here
i'm sure they just made a new account!
I don't believe in reincarnation on web forums. They're gone for good.
No. But sometimes when I'm getting a little too stubborn in an argument I asked myself "is this my sevendeadlyfetishes-basedball-blackmoldfutures-liberalsocialist moment?" And disengage.
Unfortunately, my takes here are as mild as grocery store salsa.
Somehow, I'm considered spicy outside leftist areas and have to keep the lid vacuum sealed at work.
