I really hope beehaw is slow to block them, those shitposters are feral

edit: bad news, they say they’re not even going to be federating at first and when they do it will probably just be with us :( I wanted to see the confusion from libs interacting with maniacs on that instance

    What actually are the “struggle sessions” on Hexbear? Like, is it just a popular argument or do people actually get banned over them? Because some people seem to be taking them seriously… which seems silly.

      There do tend to be bans (but smurf accounts are common because they only have permabans). Their struggle sessions are infamous because you’ll get heated arguments over the dumbest shit. Some notable ones are the outdoor cat struggle session, the rock stacking struggle session, and the bidet struggle session.

        I’ve been on many sites that enthusiastically argue over the dumbest things and in the harshest language, but to take them seriously and banhammer people over those disagreements is a level I can’t imagine descending to.

        Even when old /b/ would ban people for not liking chocolate milk and pouring it down the sink, it was obviously ironic.
