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 think I agree . I use the general megathread a lot, but could it just be c/chat? Maybe. I feel like the news thread could definitely just be c/news. The megathreads for communities I’m not a part of I couldn’t speak to. I think it would definitely be a huge drama to take away the mthreads
on a personal note I really appreciate @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net megathreads and reading the post bodies which would be lost if relegated to /c/chat
True that
This is where I think it could be a cool idea to have those posted in their respective comms as they are, but cross-posted to effortpost, then every day a new effortpost coud be pinned. I remember in this last big upset that people were saying the effortpost comm was all but dead, and I think if the community itself could be pinned, or something like my other suggestion could happen, it could get a lot more visibility/activity.
