will menaker shut down the chapotraphouse subreddit because it kept attracting too many people to his patreon. matt christman had made a vow of poverty with an eldritch being to manifest trump into the white house because it'd be hilarious and having too successful a podcast may have had devastating consequences, it managed to claim the life of lowtax....

The history of Hexbear is the history of class struggles.
More like a struggle between shitposters and mods who demanded that we read actual theory which most people refused to do. This became a problem when we were told to read LGBTQ+ theory, not reading on principle was enough for some to go on a ban spree. That and veganism struggle sessions.
I still have the trans liberation: beyond pink and blue pdf on my computer that I read the first chapter of and then forgot to read the rest 😞
I feel like I failed TC69 
one of these days I will read it! and other theory
in the meantime I keep my uninformed opinions to myself as well as having nothing but love and respect for trans comrades 
From an early age, young Hex showed a strong interest in the arts. Young Hex focused primarily on architectural representations, but their style was very awkward and stilted. Instead of progressing, they copied their works from nineteenth century artists, mainly. Hex claimed to be the founder of many artistic movements but drew primarily from Greco Roman classicism, the Italian Renaissance, and Neoclassicism. Given that there was little interest in their art, Hex soon had no other options, and found themselves on the front line, occupying a foxhole at the intersection of the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, fighting off massive swarms of flies and choking on unappetizing bread loaves. It was no place for an up and coming leftist to be and Hex, fully aware, soon managed to desert their post, fleeing for the relative peace of the Italian Riviera.

When the subreddit was quarantined, a couple diaspora communities were started in anticipation of a ban. One being the discord server, the other was this lemmy instance crafted up.
There's basically no affiliation aside from the origin story of coming from a sub named for the podcast.
The sub was closed over "violent threats", basically the members would not stop saying that john brown was right to kill slave owners and that slave owners should be killed. Many think that the sub was banned mostly to keep things equal when the_donald was banned. I think it was a combination of fash reddit admins taking offense to violence against slave owners, and using the_donald banning as an opportunity to say "look we hate all extremism".
Edit: lmao how did i get it so wrong, I've been here since the first days and I've totally forgotten the details of how it went down, and I was fuckin addicted to refreshing /r/cth.
