Edit: this situation has now been resolved, according to anonymous sources... only vigorous self-crit and two fights.

For legal purposes, this is a joke.

Maybe we ought to bring in some outside consultants to advise on how to go forward. I hear McKinsey is known for their consulting expertise.

What if we means-tested the struggle sessions?

[–] someone@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

That sounds like a proposal that we can reach across the aisle to accomplish!

No... This is an inter-Marxist Leninist conflict, and Hexbear's mods oughta take a page from Lemmygrad, or face its tanks!

What are you, color revolutionary?

[–] someone@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe it's time for a centrist approach, neither left nor right, something we can all do to appeal to the moderates and bring them into our big tent party.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, a center between the struggle sessionists (Hexbear) et the reconciliationists (Lemmygrad)

The question is: who's going to move to the center FIRST?

[–] someone@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well we do of course. We have to meet the right-wing halfway. To do otherwise would be uncivil.

Hexbear can have a bit of austerity, as a hail-seitan ritual.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

We must employ McKinsey to fix the vote

Pretend we're Cuba and you're the Soviet Union

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cuba

Nah, y'all are like Hungary or Czechoslovakia...

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I will never be like the Hungarians soviet-huff

@CriticalResist8@lemmygrad.ml @DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml @darkcalling@lemmygrad.ml

Permission to order tanks onto Hexbear, to stabilize the mod situation and institute Democratic centralism?

[–] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago

I am a subordinate, but I shall take this request to the Lemmygrad.ml mods. It is currently pending whether they would respond / s

Our people yearn for freedom, our people yearn for the hut

tankies' tank struggles are tanking themselves

we just need a bit more give and tank

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

It’s calmed down a bit, we’re gonna have to buy new windows to replace the ones that got shot out over the weekend but I think we’ll be fine

If this shit isn’t 100% done by Wednesday though I’ll be your Zhukov and help yall install the other powerposters who barely interacted with the crisis as interim admins, I’ve got grants from the Juan Guaidó Leadership fund under my pillow to help them just in case

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

be the tank you want to see in the world

[–] nandos_house_of_glues@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

struggle sessions suck but they are a part of our national character and cannot be resolved by outside interlopers. the only way out is through (posting)

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Even if its mod-infighting?

[–] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We wouldn't be wanna be leftists if we didn't do infighting

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Blocko, it's an intra-moderator infighting... any average Joe can practice freedom of thought, but leaders should be the ones setting DemCent, not disobeying it... that being said, it seems to have finished, so welp...

this situation has now been resolved

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

tankies are better than tanks. lol

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can anybody explain me TheSituation?

As I understand it Admins did the stupid rename, everyone told them they didn't like their pointless change, and instead of backing off they did a tantrum followed by users doing bigger tantrums

Why not revert back to one week ago and that's it problem solved

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I guess... I've also heard something about cult of personality regarding TC69, and mod bans, under the veil of irony and humor

But I think the mods are already self-critting, by now

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it's less "cult of personality" than "clash of personalities"

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Huh, that makes more sense... wait, who was the other personality opposed...? Was it Alaskaball? PM_Me_Your_Foucaults?

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the tanks?
Quick, send in the tanks!
Don't bother, they're here...
