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.
That's the exact situation I described, wreckers lurk and watch for a struggle session and jump on it to sow divisiveness.
We cannot know for sure who is behind it so in pursuit of assuming good-faith of our fellow hexbear users I think that rather than two people who use(d) the site as a safe space wrecking it that it is instead a nazi weirdo who stalks the site trying to wedge segments of the userbases
Waterbottle was banned soon after that and the comment you referenced was missed, i have now removed it, thank you for reporting it. I cannot speak for the perosn who locked the post but often times stray comments are missed on a banned account. I'm sorry to @REgon@hexbear.net for missing that and having that accusation stay up for so long.
