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

When we had downvotes and users got banned for downvoting trans comrades was funny.

Some guy on here his boss Dave found the site and we all clowned on Dave for the day.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

I was here for that and it was amazing. Uphold TC69 thought

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

It was so funny and cool seeing transphobes seethe

[-] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

No the funny one was the guy who insisted that he would downvote any pinned post regardless of topic and would continue doing so on principle even if he got banned for doing on transpositivity posts

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

Shitbird was taken from us too soon

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 2 weeks ago

... they posted 2 months ago?

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

I am not online enough

Humiliated

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

This is amazing.

I started wheezing from laughing too much at the second time shitbird got dave to look at ppb.

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

  • Black Mold Futures and his weird rants about insect eating and other stuff, and his 100 alts

  • Minnesota Dan Livestream (The really weird early Gen X that was far-right and hated anything that came out after 1999) (Also know as the "Back in the day I used to go to 4chan dot php because every website was php. I knew 4chan blew in 2003! 2003! You hear me?!" guy) (AKA Painbow)

  • FEW drops and the Moomin vs. Homestuck posting

  • That time Yugopnik was here

  • Infrared Hexbear account

  • Giggle (TERF social media app that would force you to take pictures of your vagina to use it) vs. Hexbear. Sall Grover (the owner of the APP) promised to go live on Australian TV to talk about Hexbear but she didn't.

I think NPR is doing a podcast on it actually. They reached out to interview me but I just said PPB over and over and over

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

you have failed us when we needed you most, we had a chance to convert NPR libs into hexbear posters and instead you used it as a chance to dunk 😔

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The whole shrekland Dave affair was excellent

https://hexbear.net/post/107217

Shrekland.net, and I'm pretty sure shit bird was also the one who bought lemmygrad.net too lmao

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

Holy shit I forgot about this and am sitting here laughing my ass off all over again lol. Legendary posting

will have to write about what I can when I get home, so watch this space, I’ll prob write it in a different reply, not under this

VCJ doesn’t get brought up because it effectively ended in a stalemate and there’s a sort of gentleman’s agreement not to agitate the wound after the fallout caused a group of sitemods (including me, initially, partly because I was overwhelmed and in high school at the time) to quit or temp-quit the site.

I hate that the most memed on LS thread is the one where they were the most correct; pursuing teenagers in your late 20s is fucking gross.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

Its also strange. I'm 26 now and cannot imagine even being close friends with a 19 year old. We'd have nothing in common. I don't wanna talk about moistcritical or whatever streamer garbage drama is happening. I just don't care.

The focus on age of consent in the comments is also weird. My area has a 16 age of consent but few people would argue it'd be normal to fuck a high schooler.

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

i've read this post before, another top tier one but like see liberal socialist is someone who needs a full writeup done on them, from what i can tell they were the main antagonist of the site for nearly half a year before they got banned

I made a comm for this, and there are a few things posted on there, but it never really took off

Doing write ups on struggle sessions tends to restart the struggle session and would probably get mod action for shitstirring

!bestofhexbear@hexbear.net might have some but could probably use more writeups

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

  • silver legion
  • Kerry posting
  • dox of beatnik
  • unreleased 9-11 footage guy
  • dasha from Red scare posting (or maybe that was in the discord?)
[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

unreleased 9-11 footage guy

That was so weird. What was his username again?

[-] Chronicon@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Kevin Westley iirc

[-] Gorb@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I once caused an argument in the mod team by posting my thighs. The post stayed up, i see that as an absolute win.

I remember we had someone who would downvote every megathread who got banned which turned into a big argument.

Idk why I'm struggling to remember any big events.. early days of this site was wild but my memories are distant

[-] destroyamerica@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

this is exactly why we need writeups so these memories don't fade from the collective consciousness!!!

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

Surprised no one has mentioned two Hexbear legends:

  • BMF: He is everything I want to be when I grow up (nonsectarian tho)

  • The Fred Flinstone freakout over lattes or something.
