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.
So can @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net come back then?
reading between the lines of what has been said about the incident that led to banning Foucaults, it sounds like a disagreement behind the scenes about moderation descended into an argument that got very personal, and personal apologies/amends need to be made.
I suspect that they're not expecting a post in /c/selfcrit anymore and probably have communicated that to Foucaults, but unbanning and rebanning to change the message to reflect the current situation feels like pointlessly dredging up drama, so they didn't change it to reflect the current situation.
