Hello users of Hexbear, there have been many changes and some drama the past few months.
The recent changes we've been making have been an attempt to create a more safe and welcoming environment for many demographics that have been overlooked in the past.
For any of our comrades that have been unintentionally hurt in this process, we apologise and hope to find a solution that accommodates as many people as possible while still meeting the needs of the marginalised groups who need a space like this the most.
The intent of this post is to provide a space for all users to air grievances with regard to the site. As well as provide suggestions for specific things that could be changed to address your grievance. Comments insulting the mod team or those without a specific means to address your problem may be removed. No commenter will be sitebanned, unless it clearly breaks the code of conduct.
Wish the site would get a Patreon, the liberapay thing weirds me out plus I am lacking in executive function so signing up for something else is a challenge. If the site had a Patreon I would happily kick in 5-10 bucks a month and others would as well, I am sure.
I have asked about this in the past and never got an answer. Hopefully the donations are enough right now to offset the hosting costs. I will say I have noticed more stability related issues in the last month or two.
On the drama piece I have no idea what you're talking about and am here for at least an hour every day. Probably means I blocked the drama stirring users a while ago
We do have one!

it's actually in the site sidebar under the moscow time
The drama was on the tail-end of 2024
Nice ty, I had seen this one before but wasn't sure it was actually site affiliated. Just subbed
On a slightly related note, is there an outline anywhere of how the money is used? Stuff like how much is spent on hosting etc
That would be good!
