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.
Site feels way more cliquey than it used to and think mega threading is contributing to that and exacerbating the grievances people sometimes have w "power posters". Megathreads are a huge part of the site culture so idk what you would even do or want to do to change it.
the portal post would remove them from the site pin but keep them community pinned allowing for those that like it to keep using while de-emphasising it at a site level
