[VENT POST]:Honeypot? YEAH RIGHT! The mods here make my job so fucking hard. I work at Langley and I'm responsible for reporting leftists who post too good so they can be injected with cringe takes and nanobots. I've done it maybe 14 times and still my colleagues and boss treat me with so much disrespect. Even my work crush, Sam, says that "work that can be done in your sweatpants doesn't count as real spy work."

That's all well and good, right? But it doesn't stop there. None of my agitprop makes a dent in Hexbear morale! I had to personally make a 6 figure deal trafficking arms in Africa to get lemmy.world to speak ill of Hexbear and it looks like it didn't even move the needle a millimeter!! I had Havana syndrome for 3 weeks cause some asshole kids in the Congo kept calling me a suit and pointing their microwave at me! All of my agitprop goes straight into the dunk tank or, ugh, the dredge tank. And then the annoying fucking admins won't even give me a backdoor API of all the posts, so I have to check posts by hand. It doesn't help that my mandatory AI assistant, Intelligent Ian, hallucinates 90% of the problematic posts on the site making my job 10x harder.

So no, it's not really a honeypot, it's more like a vat of fucking vinegar. This shit sucks!!!!!!!!

That's the biggest compliment you can give me, thank you. If I have a choice, it'd be the line

I think the whole thing should be tagline tbh. It's fucking great. I don't know who decides these things though sadness but it's really good. Made me actually lol!

rat-salute it warms my heart. I also have some posts strewn about the website bemoaning my rival, Johnathan China, who is embraced by the community. The search function would find them
