Why was it removed 
The fascist tankie mods on Hexbear make the furry underclass stay in their own secluded ghetto away from the normals and you have to wear a pink pawprint on your jacket at all times so people know not to touch you.

First they came for the furries and I said nothing because uwu
GOOD meme
Aww thanks
Here https://hexbear.net/c/[email protected] its hidden you have to sub to it to see the posts
Curious why it's hidden lol
E: lol thanks for the responses. I didn't know Hexbear had private comms.
Think it was horny at some point
That's like saying the sun rises from the east at some point
I don't remember a time when it was horny, and I've been on this site since the beginning.
I lobbied for the comm's creation. It was preemptively hidden at its inception because that's the only way the admins would allow it.
tbf the hidden flag used to be less aggressive on the old site, you wouldn't see posts from it on the frontpage, but you didnt originally have to sub for posts to load up at all. it just never got changed as site upgrades happened. The early days of the site also had a very "everyone sees every post" thing going on and nobody wanted to use the subscribe feature (still somewhat an issue), so it was hidden just so it wouldnt be on everyone's frontpage unless they subbed.
worked fine early on but I think its ling outlived its usefulness since comm blocks are a thing now
Same. The only other coms that got that treatment were sectarian in nature I think? The site has long since evolved pass whatever need there was for these type of restrictions.
I also remember this as the reason
it's called fursecution
1984 admins
foxes are stealthy little lads
Too gay, too powerful.
For your protection
Are there any other hidden communities???
/c/drugs, /c/feedback, and /c/mentalhealth.
Huh, /c/drugs is available on the list of communities, but furry, feedback and mentalhealth are not 
The Volcel Vanguard went way too far and determined that furries were too sexy for Hexbear, but not so sexy they needed to be completely banned.
Honestly I hate it, it feels like typical internet fursecution which is reactionary AF. I'm not a furry though so it's not really my fight to go start, although if the Hexbear furry community wanted to fight to regain more visibility I'd be one of their loudest allies, because I think erasing people's identities is fucking shitty
I don't think, at this point, it'd even be a fight, just a request (I hope).
@[email protected] any chance this could be considered?
