I'm banned from hexbear, and also I don't know what I'm doing
You're better off banned from hexbear tbh, the place is a cesspit
inb4 this comment gets removed
Depends, what does the modlog say for why you were banned?
Yeah the mod is an A grade dick. Mods are at times power mad, and this is a case in point. Anyone can see that's not what you were saying.
Name and shame that mod
Ban him again
Thank you, had no idea this was a thing
Ofc! It's called the modlog, and it's usually accessible via the footer of every instance, or by appending /modlog to an instance's URL, e.g. https://hexbear.net/modlog
There is a community where Alice will make you a mod if you ask and you can do this too. I forgot the name of the community though.
unbanned
from what?
Hexbear
Lol
Edit: btw OP, I'm laughing because getting banned from hexbear is very easy to do, and getting unbanned from hexbear is very much not easy to do. It's kinda their whole thing
Lol, they did you a favour. Itβs the only instance I ban.
I don't think your ban reason leaves a lot of room for that..
To be fair, what Wes said was just plain fact- there's an important distinction between someone with paedophilia and a child molester. But hexbears aren't a fan of facts or other people's feelings, so
Lol... Thank you
I mean... The prompt was "what's your most unpopular opinion" ffs
But thanks for finding that for me... Had no idea I could even see why they banned me... Although I assumed it was that
Where do you see ban reasons? π
Not advocating this, but: on the fediverse there is almost no way to tell you are evading a ban by creating a new account if you do it on another instance.
Tell them you love Xi Jing Ping and Joseph Stalin, and they might unban you.
/s Just take it as a badge of honor
Go talk to the mods, but perhaps consider not posting stuff like this:
... There's an important distinction between someone with pedophilia and a child molester ...
But, to be honest being banned from hexbear is probably a good thing. That place is a shithole.
Lol... Well there is, but I get most people don't like understanding things like that. Let alone discussing them... But the prompt was "what's your most unpopular opinion" so you know... Wtf
Well there is a difference and the horrific nature of the discussion doesn't mean it's one that we shouldn't have, leave alone ban people for wanting to discuss.
One is sick in the head, one has acted upon their sick thoughts. One could possibly be helped before they commit a horrible crime, the other needs to be prosecuted.
