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.
I would like to upbear you for point #1, but then the rest of your post happened. I agree on hiding some comms by default could be a good idea. The rest is just pure armchair psychology and quite frankly very lacking of empathy. Yeah some users do use this site as a surrogate for a community, but they've got their reasons. I know I had.
I'm sorry, but I've got drugs to do and marvelslop to shit on 
It's also kind of an odd critique because you know you can just block comms, right? You don't have to see any posts from chat or neurodiverse or disabled or any of the other comms with posts that annoy you. It seems like you're also annoyed by the general concept of people not building communism all the time
