I'm not at all exaggerating when I say this. The bar is so incredibly, incomprehensibly low everywhere else that I'm about ready to call literally anyone who can join this community, be genuine, and still not get banned an actual saint.

And that's no diss at the admins for being ban happy or whatever, that's literally just how you create an online community full of good people and somehow Hexbear has been the first to realize it

Yes and in the process it made a handful of insufferable dorks impossibly rich.

Truly, a very bad thing happened. A modern tragedy.

It was a bad thing that made other things even worse. Web 2.0 and it's consequences have been a disaster. The internet used to be genuinely a fun place. I'm not learned enough, but I don't see why it can't be done again behind the scenes of the scroll nightmare. Not like early 2000s websites were coding miracles. People may need to get over everything being s video to get off the YouTube but I can recall being considered a digimon prophet or having an uncle that worked at Nintendo digimon equivalent cause I browsed fansitesnin 2nd grade and drew digimon thst wouldn't be on TV for mo ths cause fans it's had Japanese episodes. Being internet learned was cool as hell
