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 did not care for that poster's screaming at the computer screen and am glad to read of null departure. I always thought it was a wrecker account and came to this site less after the popularity contest
since your account is relatively new and has <200 comments, I took a look and it seems like you aren't a reading club poster. I'm not either, but I bring it up because when I realized how much anger I was seeing from frauddogg, I looked at null's account to get a fuller picture of void's presence on the site, and null was a book club power poster. void didn't just write moving responses to the material; null actively engaged with other posters, offering insightful, respectful dialogue.
in the same way that I think it is bonkers to think REgon is on some kind of wrecker long-con, I think it is bonkers to think any wrecker would take the time to make those comments. I understand that you might not have seen them, but if all you base your impressions of other posters on is whatever comments you chance upon, I would like you to please consider that this will necessarily give you a distorted view of that person.
if someone is rubbing you the wrong way, I encourage you to please go look at their account and try to understand where they're coming from.
You're right that I did not see that side. I'm only responding to the unbridled hostility and typed SCREAMING I saw towards other users of the site, which was very bad vibes to me.
