I used to have an account. I was an old /r/chapotraphouse user before it got shut down.

A dipshit admin got mad when I referenced ridiculous drama that reflected badly on how the site was (and probably still is) being run, insisted to me that it didn't happen, banned me before I could even post a link or screenshot demonstrating it happened, purged my entire comment and submission history (mostly news and longer pieces I found interesting, nothing even remotely rule breaking or controversial) then proceeded to monitor the creation of new accounts to ban any usernames similar to mine as soon as they appeared.

All of the exact behaviour that would have been endlessly made fun of for being so extremely online and extremely pathetic on the old subreddit.

That admin/mod who did that is now also banned and their posts also purged lmfao. Hexbear in a nutshell.

I think they’re fine except for their more ridiculous vegan coms
