It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no
amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not
true.
Could never tell if that person was doing a bit or not. His posts always seemed like he was trying to troll, but he would always double down in a way that really didn’t come across as a joke.
check the modlog (there are 7 pages dedicated to him). but basically:
kept being sectarian (expressing his dislike of Maoists, anarchists, etc.)
kept posting and commenting in the wrong places (i’d say half of his modlog is just this)
would crosspost to 10+ communities for every post
seems to have instigated a lot of the arguments he had here
was temp/perma banned many times (on different instances too) for all these reasons but despite apologising didn’t change his ways
and may have doxxed someone (check the modlog for this, a mod called him out on it)
but my impression of Pluto was initially positive too. feels weird seeing a fairly prominent Hexbear user be permanently banned, but wow he sounds like a lot for the mods to deal with and banning him seems more than justifiable to me now.

This is kind of how I feel about the situation. If someone isn’t going to learn from their mistakes, they should go somewhere else where that will be tolerated rather than giving the mods a headache every time they post.
I’m honestly so happy to see them go. Seeing them defend CPUSA on every post that critiqued them whilst adding nothing of substance to the conversation was super annoying.
Shitstirring… see his modlog, specifically on his askchapo post about Gaddafi…

I think he was serious…
