this is my favorite thing. choice quotes:
“It’s not funny to me anymore that they are the way they are on Hexbear. Now it is just crushing sadness.”
“What the heck is this about the “yellow snow” figures and peeing their pants? This is either a Hexbear person writing up creative fiction, or else something real that the Hexbear admins quickly edited or something. This is a really bizarre.”

kind of confirms my theory that people who hate us just take everything they read on the internet extremely literally and at face value all the time. It’s like they just turn into
once your jokes deviate from regurgitated redditisms or tenuously related media referencesMasses, Elites, and Rebels: the Theory of “Brainwashing” regularly proving to be a must read. People always license themselves to believe what they want, so they will uncritically accept that which conforms to their views even in the face of opposing evidence, generally.
That’s not what I typed in the box.
What a weasely fucking little liar
Damn, straight up falsifying evidence for an internet post about a shit post
Those chuds say Dessalines is personally funded by the CPC they dont care about lying
The seeseepee funds me with one trillion dollars a day!
Honestly, speaking as someone who spends way too much time on the internet, these guys spend a really unhealthy amount of time and effort on the internet.
Fair criticism
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this it really is something I needed to read.
Canyon201. Since undoubtedly you browse HexBear to be mad, please come and do an AMA. Would be fascinating to peek inside the brain of someone so insurmountable gullible.
friendly fire i saw more than one hexbear take even the 2nd post seriously
I like how they think it’s even a genuine possibility that the admins would edit it to discredit the “real” story, rather than applying occam’s razor and realizing it was a troll like they already seemed to think.
Can the admins even do that?
Check your profile, it appears the dastardly admins have already modified it to make all your posts for years really bad.
I walked right into that one
They keep making mine about piss? Wtf?
Here’s the menu I see.
Something very funny to me about “ban from community” and “appoint as moderator” buttons being right next to each other. Just asking for one hell of a misclick.
The ban from site and appoint to admin used to be next to each other
well they have pop-ups asking to confirm choice so thankfully there’s no whoopsies
Lmao of course my screaming avatar shows up in this screenshot. Fucking power posting owl. .idk just that face peaking up at the bottom cracks me ul
How much would I need to pay you for clicking the bottom one
how much was the top bid for the website?
No, it’s not possible to edit someone else’s post on Lemmy as a platform. We can’t even mark a post as NSFW for content warning tags.
The only things we can do to a post that you can’t do as a user are to remove it or to purge it, which removes it from the modlog as well.
We generally only purge posts that contain content that we don’t want stored on our servers. Usually this is someone’s accidentally or foolishly posted personal information, but there have been cases where we’ve purged illegal/reprehensible content like gore or fictional sexual content depicting minors.
No, it’s not possible to edit someone else’s post on Lemmy as a platform. We can’t even mark a post as NSFW for content warning tags.
The Lemmy devs were very adamant that they never want that as a thing during their AMA earlier this year, just uninformed users being uninformed and jumping to weird conclusions for some reason
so it’s just Phil bucket fucker talking out his ass again
then how come all my posts are terrible, explain that
Can’t you edit a post with a
magnetized needle and a steady handPgAdmin?Getting into the server room in the subterranean Hexbear compound in the Pyrenees has a 96 hour countdown timer and requires 4 different physical keys carried by admins who live on separate continents.
Boy was I embarrassed when I left my keys in there.
Anyone with access to the database could do that but it won’t federate
No, and I’m gay
Nah, dessalines is very against admins having the ability to edit posts
I love the mods.
I didn’t post this. How dare they.
I doubt it. The ability to just simply cw a post instead of having to wait for the op to do it would be something that the mod team would use more then not.
Nope.
These people will not survive the day Xi lets the Chinese posters roam free on the western web.
It will be the shitposting equivalent of Genghis Khan’s conquests
Lemmy world knows about piss posting
LEMMY WORLD KNOWS ABOUT PISS POSTING
YellowsnowAt first I thought this story was written by AI, then I just realised it was written by a redditor. The only way to tell them apart is to mentally add “and then everyone clapped” at the end.
It’s definitely a Hexbear. Make sure to read the follow-up.
Oh dang, then I was masterfully trolled, well done Xiaohongshu!
Seems it was an impersonator.
Good thing they’ll elect the next XHS in the papal conclave
Lmao
Why do people think xhs2 isn’t xhs? Is there any credible evidence or just vibes?
@Losurdo_Enjoyer@hexbear.net elaborated accurately, the bit with Alaskaball is the part most telling.
Yeah, I missed that part
i mean im not sure what credible evidence you’re looking for, this is probably as good as you’re going to get on a pseudonymous forum https://hexbear.net/comment/6107320
as for the vibes:
not nearly enough mmt posting. also no china dooming
my own experience: i tagged xhs2 with a comment that had anti mmt stuff in it and i wasnt immediately told to read michael hudson’s super imperialism to understand mmt https://hexbear.net/comment/6044107
lastly xhs has always been pretty secretive about their personal life (vauge memory of them saying something like they’re worried posting on here could get them fired for whatever reason, which always lead me to believe xhs was 24/7 posting on company time lol), so the fact that they mentioned the exact city they were traveling to and that they were visiting family is extremely unusual for them.
lead me to believe xhs was 24/7 posting on company time
Awesome
Vibes but also… why would the user write a deeply unserious satirical post about going to Xinjiang and peeing their pants in solidarity with Uyghurs? Also, look at the modlog
Banned xiaohongshu2 [none/use name]
reason: User Impersonation
XHS2 gave the mod team the vibes of being a fake
i actually dont think it’s totally out of the possiblity that xhs would do something like this. they used to troll the news mega with an account called “simulatedliberalism” on the regular. this account is absolutely not xhs tho (see my comment here https://hexbear.net/comment/6108015)
Nothing will top Kaplya. They had posts about how Biden was a cunning imperialist compared to Trump who knew how to wield the dollar as a ultimate trump card, but ended all those posts with, “by the way, vote for Biden as the lesser evil because he’s better with trans people.”
I know, I’m questioning the ban. A massive satirical post isn’t in the style of xhs, but their post history gives plausible deniability.
Both of those quotes you included are tagline material.
