Due to post about feds nocking on their door and asking about Hexbear, which was posted outside of fake news and could be seen as serious.

Should’ve been done a long time ago. Melina’s “ironic” shit was never funny to begin with, and they were really pushing it. I once called them out on something being inappropriate, and then they kept spamming “I’m not reading that” to reasonable criticism, and ended up stalking me in my DMs and calling me a fake communist. At that point I fail to see what’s ironic about all of it, because it’s behavior that’s virtually indistinguishable from a typical wrecker.

Yeah, it’s not even good contrarianism. No one needs to deal with that kind of shit after a work week

Tbh I just didn’t get why the bit was funny. Like, posting things specifically to deceive ppl and give them bad vibes (that Parenti post is the first that comes to mind) just seems shitty. The “oh you’re triggered” bit strikes me as bad no matter what “side” it comes from 🤷

The whole “we’re the cool kids and you losers just can’t deal” vibe Melina/Melina’s little fanclub gives off is annoying as fuck.

the thing that made me block them was banning ppl from fakenews for being ‘crybabies’ when they got upset about the parenti post

honestly since SecondThought mentioned the FBI has 750 pages on him and he could only manage to FOIA 5 of them without having to wait up to 5 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot of fed browsing of hexbear.

Yeah, which means they’re most likely not knocking at anyone’s door since they didn’t shut down or disrupt his successful YouTube channel.

Well the whole reason he FOIA’d himself was because DHS knocked on his door and tried to question him about his video titled “The CIA is a terrorist organization.” And for a few weeks after it came out users said they had to log in and click through 5 age warnings to watch it even though it didn’t really have any adult content.

Yeah none of us are getting our doors knocked on (yet) because we don’t have huge audiences, I’m just saying; they are collecting info about anyone who speaks against American hegemony, even in relatively obscure corners like this.

They know that open censorship will make people curious. They also know that most people don’t want to bother with mild inconveniences. So they censor via inconvenience so they can pretend they aren’t “technically” censoring something while also knowing that a huge chunk of the potential audience just won’t bother.

Remember to tip your minder with generous amounts of high quality p0rn links so they can destress late night at the office.

They were just studying their subject for “research”.

Melina was found dead at the bottom of the Mariana Trench after shooting themselves twice in the back of the head before putting their corpse into a trash bag and tying themselves to cinder blocks and throwing themselves overboard 😤

Wait is this fake news or is this real. I’m going to crack up if it’s real. They taught me so much, like “how to block a community” and “how to block an individual poster.”

Anyway if it’s real RIP to a real one, thanks for teaching me the value of learning how to block people.

Also I don’t think their pronouns were she/her so probably edit this so you don’t get banned too. No reason to misgender someone no matter how shit they were. Unless the process of me blocking them also somehow means I can’t see that they updated their pronouns, in which case sorry my bad but also weird bug plz fix?

It looks like they’re banned: https://hexbear.net/u/Melina

If I had to guess, it’s from the post about federal agents asking them about Hexbear which seems like a really bad joke.
