    That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.

    Judging by the modlog, the ban switched from temporary to permanent after he said some stuff in the lemmygrad matrix room. I have no idea what it was he said, though.

      He was throwing a fit and saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”

      1. why would we even care that much? Like it will be nice to have more people to engage with our comms but we do just fine without hexbear federated
      2. he’s not an admin over there like he was implying, he’s only been on hexbear for a month and they let him mod a couple of comms, he has 0 sway on their admin team

      It’s a shame, I think he was a decent poster

        Looks like the Hexbear admins said no. Also, no idea where he got the idea that lemmygrad harbors patsuccs.

          Sectarianism is when you allow right and left deviations alongside principled MLs apparently.

            it’s definitely a thing in some European countries; self-proclaimed communists who don’t think they shouldn’t be ashamed of their country’s imperialist past

            (I believe dessalines is USian, though)
