Best thing to ever happen to us. It feels so nice being able to say that billionaires should get the

MODERATORS
Honestly yeah, we were on borrowed time being on reddit anyway, chapo was only tolerated for so long. Not to mention the mods of the old sub were weird nerds that would ban people for disagreeing with them or downvoting their dumb bits. Hexbear is waaay healthier and actually feels like a community.

not you, you've always been cool
I'm the one that invented the main rule. I'm like one of the most arbitrary people around that fell upwards the ladder of nerddom
lmao and also I will NEVER comment main, I will always sincere post on a main post.
My greatest weakness! Someone putting so much effort into their post that it actually makes me feel bad to remove it for a bit
ban people for disagreeing with them
This phrase is my personal pet peeve. The mods then weren't great but they didn't ban people because they hated disagreements as a concept, they wouldn't ban you if you disagreed with them on your favorite pizza toppings or about the best Star Wars trilogy.
They banned people for the substance of their opinions just like the hexbear mods do. Hexbear mods will ban zionists not because they can't stand anyone who disagrees with them, but because they can't stand zionists. Let's not pretend like hexbear welcomes opinions from the entire political spectrum. We just differ from the r/cth mods in what exact opinions we deem banworthy.
Edit: To be clear I do not think this is a bad thing. I support the mods banning people with terrible opinions.

Oldheads so jaded about rebr0 they forget about hayaca smdh my dick head
It's wild that they still allow /r/trueanon and /r/shitliberalssay. Both have the same tone of posting and most of the same posters. Chapotraphouse hit a unique nerve with reddit.
And death to slave masters.
r/shitliberalssay was pretty mild back then compared to chapo or moretankiechapo.
I don't think I was subscribed at the same time I was r/chapotraphouse in like 2015, but by maybe 2019 the comment section was a real proto-/c/slop. They have that same kind of metamodernist dada culture where they're chaotic good feral dogs.
Chapo was a much larger sub, and getting bigger all the time. It was big enough that it was the spectre haunting Reddit, so with that came enough infamy for the admins to ban it.
I legit had liberals on a “politically neutral” Discord server telling me to “go back to Chapo” in 2023. It’s clear it has left an imprint on their online psyche
God, was it only five years ago. I feel like I've been here forever
"promoting hate" is apparently "I don't think slaveowners should be alive."
Similar story to today where "promoting hate" is "I don't think killing children is okay"
I'm glad y'all eventually joined the federation experiment - Lemmy would be almost entirely libs without the hexbears. Grad and .ml would be overwhelmed.
it's ok they banned the already-empty /r/the_donald as consolation
They may have lost the reddit battle but they won the war.
Twice!
Happy Independence Day!
been here since the ban (on different accounts) kill all slave owners
Death to slave owners.
Death to slave traders.
Death to blood thirsty fascist
Death to their enablers
They genuinely thought kill slave owners meant, we will kill you for you 401k.
No they didn't. They just needed some little thing to get upset about to justify purging us. We were getting too popular and the great NATOification of all social media had to be complete.

i got banned from reddit 3 months ago? for writing "luigi" and nothing more on a PGE rate increase post in my local sub
They did us a favor
Also the first time I felt old was when we moved to the discord chat, the main chat was moving so fast I couldn't even read it. Then we had to make the slow chat lol
The discord was a nightmare for my boomer ass brain
I think they literally named the slow one the boomer chat lol
yup, i still hate discord

Honestly, probably the best thing to happen to us. Look at us.
Good for us, bad for all the regular people who were getting exposed to far left ideas on their r/all feed.

Nope it was last year, as was covid and the first Trump/Clinton election
sorry to burst your bubble but half a decade has not passed without me realizing it
Alt title: history started 5 years ago on this day
On the dawn of June 30th, r/Chapotraphouse arose to the thunder-burst of “Check out this dope ass bear!” What is the Hexbear, that sphinx so tantalizing to the bourgeois mind?
"“The proletarians of reddit,” said the Central Committee in its manifesto.“ amidst the failures and treasons of the ruling classes, have understood that the hour has struck for them to save the situation by taking into their own hands the direction of posting.... They have understood that it is their imperious duty, and their absolute right, to render themselves masters of their own destinies, by seizing upon the reddit power.”"
I remember being part of a chapo discord that sucked tbh. Luckily someone posted about chapo.chat as an alternative to the sub. I was never super active in the sub. I didn't even listen to the pod until about a year before covid. I'm glad I found this site.

And from its ashes, the greatest website was born 
Apparently FULLCOMMUNISM is still around even though was guaranteed around the same time. It doesn't even have the cringe message saying you should go look at Victims of Communism either.
I was out getting lunch on my first day back from an 8 day work week. I checked my phone to if anything good had been posted to chapotraphouse3 when i saw that everyone had flooded over to blackwolffeed. Took me a minute to realize that we had posted too hard and now everyone was looking for a new home.
Then i clicked off and started browsing twitter.
You know that one guy from way back, uuuuuh I think his name was ah John Brown?
Yeah so it turns out he didn't do anything wrong. 
I was watching The Godfather part 2 (after really loving part 1) when I noticed that it was banned. It really ruined my experience watching the movie
Very thankful I saw a chapo.chat link on a different subreddit within a week of the ban and got to lurk here for a few years. I definitely would not have found this place since I'm always online but in a different way than a lot of you guys.
Anyway, happy anniversary.
A lot has changed in those years....
