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.

- only reason I haven't yet is because it would be like every other post in the news mega and nobody else is doing it.
But fuck it, I'm down.
This is one reason that whole situ doesn't make sense to me.
Ppl just saying shit and maybe it makes sense in some context I don't have.
but literally hypertext links are the whole concept of the World Wide (WWW). Why not just provide them?
