If you check out lemm.ee and lemmy.ml you can see that we have a bulk of ~100 hexbear upvoters on new pushing socialist content to the top of the feeds. By banning reactionaries, they lose this bulk of upvotes and comments that make their reactionary posts relevant (despite being controversial). I've even noticed a shift in instances not federated with hexbear posting more socialist leaning content due to this influence.

Full confession: I was still lingering on 4ch!n at the time, primarily in the /tg/ board (that got sewage overflow from /pol/ regularly just like everywhere else on that site), and I saw the "we are not your private army" mantra instantly become "we are now your private army" once Eron Gjoni demanded one as a petty manchild revenge against Zoe Quinn. I was even there for when the name swapped from the misogynistic dog whistly "Five Guys" name to the more universally marketable "G!merGate" name, largely because of chud actor Adam Baldwin's suggestion. I was also there when they congratulated each other for coming up with the retcon of "it's actually about ethics in g!mes journalism" bullshit claim that was picked up and ran with for years as a smoke screen that was disgustingly effective at throwing naive liberals off the trail of misogynistic stalking.

4chan's edgelords took pride on not being anyone's private army then went all in on being a private army. They stood for nothing, not even standing for nothing. Fascist cowards.

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.
