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.
Mods removing threads for incorrect comm should copy and paste them with all the comments in "correct" comm, if they received enough engagement.
Sorry if that's sounds like work, don't fucking remove threads from "wrong comm" then. Your 3 seconds of "correct bucket sorting is important for my deep learning model" is collective minutes of writing comments by commenters, show that you care eh?
And have mod comment if you think nsfw is not enough of cw/cw is incorrect, how the fuck do you think i have to fix incorrect cw, if i don't know who to answer that i fixed the issue/title? I have to notice it was removed, search modlog like a nerd, see some reason with removal (one that i might agree with or might not, but be fine with fixing), and what then? Only alaskaball does it
yeah this is all very real, if a little hostile, the mod tooling on here is atrocious still and mods need to be way more consistent about communication to make up for that.
In its original implementation, the mod tooling was the outcome of a recently unemployed machinist who had never moderated a web forum or used such tooling learning Rust in two weeks and slapping something together. It is dog shit and can use a total overhaul (I am allowed to say this).
