i said it then and I’ll say it now: this was one of the few good LiberalSocialist takes. I don’t know about should never, but such a relationship will always have me raising my eyebrows
I’ve got a lot of favorite awful threads, but this (power dynamics thread) is very near the top of the list.
Jaysus wept… a coupled piked heads from @LiberalSocialist@hexbear.net to @Pluto@hexbear.net…
Now, I’m gonna check their ban logs…
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.
Oh I remember that shit. I didn’t post in that because I’ve learned to shut the fuck up when the going gets stupid. Probably why I’ve never caught a ban despite being stupid. Remember folks, you can always choose not to post.
Yeah, I come to Hexbear to get away from the drama and bullshit of the rest of the internet
What was the actual final straw for their permaban? I dont remember
Pretty sure it was for defending AOC’s support of a strikebreaking bill or getting too sectarian (or both)
Neither, really. They were banned for “sustained hostility,” a fair bit after that big thread where they got dogpiled. They got into the mindset of “me against the site” and got really combative over every little thing, always looking to pick fights and push contentious angles. I had a bit more sympathy for them than most, but at a certain point getting them off the site was probably better for them.
The final straw was that they started going around saying stuff like: “he/him, man detected, opinion discarded,” but it was really more about the sustained hostility.
