Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

MODERATORS
My answer:
When chapotraphouse was banned on reddit many mods and users came together to create a space on a link aggregator platform.
Choosing lemmy the original admin and developer team decided to fork it for various reasons. About a year ago, sustained effort was taken to upstream many of the forked features so that we could rebase with current version lemmy and federate.
Over the years hexbear has become a non-sectarian social media space for sharing news, memes, links, posts and comments with each other as the mods endeavour to make the space welcoming to marginalized people.

Hexbear is more than just a social media space .it’s a community built from care, connection, and freedom.
After the ChapoTrapHouse community was banned from Reddit, people came together to create something of their own a space where voices wouldn’t be silenced, where everyone especially marginalized people could feel seen, heard, and safe. Hexbear runs on Lemmy, an open-source platform meaning it’s not controlled by big companies or ads. It’s shaped by real people, for real community. Here, people share news, memes, personal stories, and ideas without fear of judgement or censorship. It’s a home for those who care about justice, kindness, and building something better together. If you’re looking for a space where you can just be yourself, connect with others, and feel part of something real Hexbear is here for you.
