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.
Sounds nice, but the issue (for me at least) hasn't really been lack of knowledge of site rules, but inconsistent enforcement. The rules are written out pretty clearly, but if some moderator disagrees with me then I might get my comment removed for whatever reason, while their friend can threaten to curb stomp me, accuse me of havin 70 transphobic alt accounts and be fine. Pointing this out is then toxic behaviour. Sorry, I am a bit bitter.
It wasn't supposed to have anything to do with site rules per se. I think just about every last one of us here would always like to become better informed and hold opinions that we have come to more thoughtfully. It's about that, moderation of the site is something else entirely.
I also want to know what went down in all these struggle sessions I always miss without having to comb through the modlog back and forth to peace it together honestly. I just want to know what was decided
Oh then that sounds very cool. I think I suggested something similar to it then
