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.
Maybe a few people claiming that's the case is good enough for you to believe, but without proper receipts it's not something we can address. You are making some serious accusations against the mod team and if you're not willing or able to provide receipts then why even bother bringing it up?
You assume that these were messages made in DMs, which tells me that you haven't seen these threats yourself and are just taking someone's word for it. I would advise against trusting random people online without any substantial evidence. For all you know, it could have been the same person with multiple accounts just trying to stir shit up.
