I’ve heavily encouraged people to make heavy use of it to avoid friction on this site.
Just food for thought for anyone who has ever wished to not see a comment from a toxic individual again: there’s literally a button for that!
Thank you for your attention on this matter!
You can also just block people
libertarian
doesn’t really address the problem. this is still one of the least shit places online and i think it’s worth struggling to keep it that way instead of just out of sight out of mind
Sometimes mods just don’t do anything
yeah i mean, don’t get me wrong, i think it’s egregious that the user this thread is about hasn’t been permabanned months ago. they don’t add anything to the community except nonstop rancid vibes. i think there is a pattern from admins of using kid gloves and avoiding permabans, maybe out of a fear of further slowing site growth? and i don’t think it’s justified at all or a wise move for the wellbeing of the site and its users. i’m just not willing to actually step up and become a mod or whatever so i kind of put up with it to some extent because i still believe the site is salvageable
It was also his 3rd account by now. It’s pretty obvious when someone is posting about their job across all banned accounts.
is this a sure thing? i saw your post about it earlier
I am absolutely certain. No way I can remember previous usernames but he crashed out over needing to cw meatposting before, iromic cause he became the vegan cook at his job. Thats how I know its been the same person. Talking very consistently about his job across different accounts and it clearly being the same job, cooking at a college. I know he blocked me after I reported him misgendering me and then made numerous vagueposts complaining about it and I repeatedly asked to be tagged if he wanted to shit talk me as if im not scrolling the same fucking board instead of being a coward but he had blocked me. That was his second account which got banned shortly after, first got banned for crashing out when meat tags got introduced. Both subsequent accounts have been spiteful about that, Leroy less than the previous, lesson learned one at a time I guess. But yeah, between the same pattern and being pretty open about personal details between accounts, its really obvious to me. I dont really consider it my business to call out all ban evaders, i’m aware of a few and theyve been decent folks on their new accounts, this guy keeps being a dick
Slowing growth or accelerating shrinkage? I thought the net direction for years has been shrinkage.
i think you’re right, yes, i did consider that i should maybe word it that way lol
Sorry if I was being a pedant, but I’m out of touch on this subject so I was genuinely wondering if it became net growth at some point.
you’re fine:) yeah it’s my impression that we’ve been on a decline for a while. was just reflecting on 3k-comment trans megas of a couple years ago earlier…
Damn I wish we had that again. That was so good for me.
I have a bee in my bonnet about more then him. Although I think he was on my blocklist a little while ago.
I mean yea I think so too, this is pretty much the best space on the internet. Still have some things that bother me though I guess.
Reports are for community health; blocks are for personal health. It is good not to block people too frequently, because it helps the community if you can see and report when people break the rules, and it doesn’t always hurt to build some extra tolerance for people being disagreeable and to try to reach out to people you think you can reach; but this is still volunteering a portion of your mental health for the sake of the community, and if you don’t think you have it in you then you shouldn’t force yourself: mind your enjoyment of the site, report and then block. This is my own broad strategy.
If we modded everyone on this site that I’ve blocked, we would have significantly fewer posters. Hexbear is a cool place but I still don’t wanna see like 50% of y’all’s toxic nonsense. I’d be genuinely interested to see a list of who has blocked the most users…
Behavior cannot be corrected unless it is acknowledged as a problem.
I think reports tend to be a very bad mechanism for accomplishing that.
Some people would love get punished *wink
Hey, that’s my job to be the lovable prevert here!
I thought your job was to reference the Simpsons as frequently as possible
