Back when we were still on Reddit, one of our haters called the sub “Chapo Bath House” as a homophobic insult which led to someone actually creating r/ChapoBathHouse as a joke sub.

Proof. Sub got got along with r/ChapoTrapHouse, of course

    Way back when there was a user masquerading as a bot responding to posts that they thought would fit better into another comm https://hexbear.net/u/COMM_ORGANISER_BOT

    it was a fun bit, caused some controversy

    I’m going to be self indulgent and mention President Parrot even though it was a bad bit and no one probably remembers it, I had fun.

    Also that one user who posted every day about turning into a lizard was pretty funny.

    Although my favorite will always be that one time we somehow took over an anticommunist subreddit called r/commiewatch and turned it into a place where we just posted pictures of communist themed watches.

    That sub is still up, by the way. You can go check it out.

      Maybenickcage or something like that I think, this is what I came here to say. Every so often when it’s cold out but the sun is warm I’ll think about how nice being a lizard would be. I’m like 75% sure I met her irl at an iww meeting based on other stuff she posted back on the old sub

    We have a shout-out by name on an episode of the Deprogram which is neat. JT from that show has done threads here. I don’t remember the specific episode but I remember he says our vegans are “really intense” lol.

    Who was that one terf lady we sent spiralling into madness? She had a social media thing that would scan your skull shape because she ostensibly only wanted women there, but in a terf gender essentialist way assuming women only have one skull shape? I don’t remember the whole deal I just remember she did an interview with someone and blamed internet communists for ruining her silly project lol

        I think you’re getting two different things confused, Eve Fartlow had nothing to do with Giggle, she’s a Zionist ”journalist”. I can understand the confusion, since Fartlow is also a transphobe.

      7DF was banned for actually, unironically, doing Clean Wehrmacht Myth shit. I am not using hyperbole. I am actually understating this. He started his arguments with defending Amerikkkan troops and ended with defending literal, actual SS concentration camp guards. He was (IIRC) revealed during/after the banning to have been a troop.

      https://hexbear.net/comment/1856092 I happened to notice this specific banger of an interaction when I went into his profile to check his pronouns.

          They were our first real power user, incredibly prolific poster, and eventually a mod.

          They got banned for mocking the daily trans love posts, was a pretty innocent joke iirc, but definitely poor taste to make fun of with the site’s climate at the time. Think they spun out a bit with alts after.

          Someone claiming to be them showed up in the video chat room some time later claiming the account was actually run by multiple users, which makes sense giving how active they were in the early days.

      I’m not a power user so it was easier to fly under the radar, but I had a posting gap of like a month where I was exclusively on Bureaucrat right after creation.

      To absolve you, I’ll admit I was the one who pushed the self destruct button in the end. I kind of wish I had just changed the password and left it dorment. I figured the account would be banned anyway though.

      There didn’t seem to be any other course of action that would untaint the account after people started using it for personal grudges. Some people started DMing others with it too and having personal conversations, which felt weird.

    That time when public figure and ultraleftist Stephen Gowans had an argument with people on here about whether China is imperialist

      That was me. I am prolific about actually chasing people off-site with some of the takes cooked up here. Nobody bothers doing it because most of you think it won’t be seen or it won’t get through or whatever but it does more often than you think and is worth doing it. Yesterday I also made Brianna Wu get Leslie Feinberg’s book.

      It takes 3 minutes of effort, if it’s wasted no harm done but more of you should really try.

    I thought that Kerry posting was pretty funny

    A user, multiple users? Would spam the site with pictures of John Kerry, and make posts and comments that were long and rambling and eventually somehow came around to being about John Kerry

    Shitbird posting their way out of a job was legendary, they moderated a Shrek comm and sent it to their boss and said “this is what I’ve been doing at work all week” and then posted the text thread where they got fired lmao

      I have said before that I think it’s fucking hilarious that this site was once a place where you could get permabanned by doing nothing but posting a comment that says, “John Kerry.”

      It was a reasonable policy because the kerryposting truly was massive spam campaign, but it’s still hilarious
