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 read the general megathread daily and you should try reading it, because I don't you would say the same thing if you actually read it, it's mostly people talking about their day or their lives which I don't think would benefit from being their own posts and most people would not want to post about their day directly to the rest of lemmy we're federated with, I can see it if you mean the news thread should just post the news updates as posts because at least that's more applicable to anyone.
