i think it's also important to look at old users with scrutiny, just bc ive been here for a few years doesn't mean i shouldn't get chewed out for having a dogshit take (not that that would ever happen, because all my takes are perfect)

Mom said its my turn to be the only leftist with correct takes on the website. She said its your turn to be the liberal again.
ah fuck 
I propose a hexbear tradition of the great eye. Every day one user is randomly selected by the gaze, each other user sees one of their posts at the top page and has to rate it ideological pure or unserious liberalism.
If the user is not rated at least 2/3 pure their name is revealed and they are banned, if the user is rated 90% pure they get the crown of the 1 true leftist until someone else replaces them.
It's also common for people to switch accounts for infosec reasons.
No, no, no, that's just for vote manipulation, and my 18 upvotes from 18 Reddit accounts that have had multiple doxxing attempts will prove me ~~right~~ popular.
All new accounts are me making alts to keep you on your toes
Damn.
And every account is just me staring into a snow globe of a hospital
All the accounts are your alts, including my own
Its alt accounts all the way down
NO. ANY NEW ACCOUNT THAT POSTS ANYTHING I DON'T PERSONALLY LIKE IS MOST LIKELY A WRECKER AND/OR POSSIBLY EVEN AN EX-MODERATOR I DON'T LIKE. 
I just figured all accounts are ops or feds or both. Maybe even my own.
There are 2 hexbears:
-
state operators
-
lib wreckers
I'm a mythical third kind. You could say neither a state operator or a lib wrecker, but instead a state wrecker and a lib operator. 
lib operator.
We found the liberal driller folks!
I've been saying it a lot, because this account is also quite new, and I thought it was funny that a new account was saying that new accounts are suspicious and shouldn't be trusted.
I'll cut back from now on, I think the joke has run its course (and I don't think a lot of people checked my account's age first, so they probably didn't even notice that I was making a joke).
Depending on the person, a person who is genuinely new to hexbear probably won't know much about the site culture, and depending on their past history might have some nasty brainworms that need to be dealt with, but yeah, acting with massive suspicion every time someone has a bad take isn't healthy or beneficial to the community. Better to just call them out or explain things to them rather than getting needlessly hostile. It does hurt to be told you're wrong and horrible by a community you've just joined.
And there's a flip side to this - a hesitancy to call out the bad takes of veteran users

Great bit.
What did they say?
They just write removed by mod under various posts
Damn.
lol i think it might be a good complimentary bit to write angry responses to your posts that make people wonder 'what did they say?'. if i ever write an angry nonsensical comment to you, that is what I'm doing k?
Being a new account on its own doesn't signify wrecking, but if someone starts baiting arguments and their account is new it looks pretty suspicious. Not that I should talk, my account is only 6 months old and I have started a few struggle sessions and gotten more than one person banned because of them.
some of us are just curious of big hairy burly men. Wait...this is not seksbear.net
The post I made was asking for advice in what to do to make things better for my girlfriend’s brother who I do care about. Also for what it’s worth a troll group called lemmitors are responsible for why the post got so big, I don’t know why but that’s what someone commented.
not everyone on my block list is a wrecker.
Nono you don’t understand we’ve hit the point where two accts literally have different opinions from one another at any given time now smh my head
what is this family coming toooooo 
Yeah obvious wreckers tend to show their asses almost immediately. As a userbase we've gotten pretty good at smelling bullshit, unfortunately innocent new accts sometimes catch strays.
I am a wrecker fuck there's no miley cyrus emote
"I noticed your account is younger than the known universe, curious..."
Shut up, Melina!
It is abit frustrating. It seems like every time I engage with a new account, they get banned within the next couple of days. I'm fine with disagreeing with people, what actually annoys me is when they do the old set up a strawman and knock it down bit. I mean, it's amusing insofar as I don't actually have to think of a response since they aren't even able to articulate a coherent response that doesn't completely misrepresent what I have said, but getting rid of them so quickly is also pretty boring.
sometimes day 1 accounts can be wreckers too 👁️
OP, I bet you would totally wreck a data center. 
Everyone is a wrecker except me
