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 personally think this should extend past this post. Sometimes people don't know when to step back on their own and continue to fight long after it becomes unproductive. 1-day temp bans provide all parties a chance to cool off and reevaluate their positions.
From the site or the community the post is in?
Just the community. That way it helps to prevent them from continuing to feud in the same thread. If they continue the argument in another comm then site-wide action may be a nessessary course of action.
This is anti-struggle-session thought
I have no issue with struggle sessions.
The problem is when it becomes something else and devolves into personal insults.
Some people like drama. I agree struggle sessions aren't something we should avoid. We should keep them from devolving into personal beef and attacks and actually work out our differences
