Is this another instance of the mod log not telling the whole story? Anytime I see a recognized poster perm banned for anything other than being completely heinous I have to scratch my head a little. Making a bad post and then ban evading doesn't feel like it should warrant a "never come back" kind of response. This is just one example, I've seen it before with others too and have always gone "huh, really?" But maybe there was something they did that was so bad it was purged / doesn't show in the mod log.

Anyway RIP DayOfDoom we'll miss your weird ass posts. Unless you did something bad that the modlog doesn't show in which case I'll just delete this whole thread.

There was a user who was specifically banned for doing this, and has continued to make alts after saying he would never stop making alts and we won't be able to find all the alts.

and some people wondered why kristina's survey didn't have any cis women responding

Unfortunately DoD's comment wasn't reported as I'm sure most thought it was a joke but after getting community banned we reviewed all the accounts comments and came across that one prompting the siteban

yeah i definitely assumed everyone would understand that hexbear isn't a dating site, and that no one would earnestly do in real life an over the top parody of hapless nerd characters in an old teen movie.

IDK comrade, I'm pretty sure I'm gay married to some variety of owl or cool dog at this point. Possibly a hamster or ferret? Or, UGH, a CANADIAN. It gets very complicated down here in the trenches.

Owls. Multiple. You are married to all of us owls.

we did actually get 5, which means we have around 15-50ish people each week that are cis women. in my sample we only had 1 (because the site for some reason only returns 300 results) but in the API there were 5 respondents

based on other surveys i've dug up on other instances we probably have most of lemmy's cis women, and blahaj has the rest. still a very small number that needs to be worked on

That's not a bit?? At least not completely?

MFW I'm not enough of a "confirmed" woman to get DM-harassed by the lonely cis guy on the dating-app-to-incel treadmill degrence

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (7 children)

I tried publicly messaging dating proposals (on both knees, as per tradition) to every confirmed woman on Hexbear. Didn't work. Did the same for every non-confirmed woman or user with feminine-sounding user name. Didn't work. Tried making a sockpuppet account that I'd use as a "is this man bothering you ma'am" ploy amidst this, which almost worked but as soon as I DMed them from that account they somehow immediately recognized my posting style from the love screeds I'd send them (it's beyond love bombing, I'm a love terrorist and I'm detonating the vest). Got banned from all the Lemmies, so I can't do it there. Reddit is all neolibs whomst I won't even touch.

wtf

I'm annoyed that I didn't get one

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i think i actually did once now that i think about it. immediately got banned. guess he learned

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Classic lesson. Don’t bite the hand that polices your love terrorism vest detonations

I got some weird DMs from chuds that stumbled onto Chapo.chat a few years ago, think it was homophobic stuff.

Oh and some idiot DMed me saying that I was "pretending to be black". Even though I've always been open that I'm a lmayo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

ikr! Like, I guess my profile does say that I'm married, but come on, I still want to feel wanted! 😂

(jk of course, harassment is never fun, but joking about it has helped me deal with it and feel some control as a smol person)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Wait that wasn't a bit

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

transitioning just to have funny shit like this happen to me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Would still be a good tagline for the site banner.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

obama-sad I thought it was a bit when I first saw it (still kinda do low key)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit what I saw that post and thought for sure that was just another weird DayOfDoom bit. bye

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

@[email protected] I can't wrap my head around this not being a joke but I also know a guy who acts like this, not only with every woman he can find, but with JOB INTERVIEWERS. And he has a job?! He should be worried about tanking his reputation in the industry. It really bothers me even though I met him online and I accept that never comes with a full story or closure. Anyways, I think that may be serious. May God have mercy upon him at the Day of Doom.

What user was banned doing this initially?
