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.

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

That guy making a hundred alt accounts to whine about his god-given right to downvote stickied threads is probably the only reason I that I still remember being here for the downvote bans.
