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

This was a post-mortem, from someone who had originally left the site during the struggle session, so it's a weird thread in that the post is from someone with still-raw wounds and the comments are from people who had experienced the evolution of the site since that time.

ahhh i see that explains it although there is an interaction between a former admin and a couple vegans where they're still talking like you cant talk about veganism on the rest of the site
