I have decided that new moderator (including a new head moderator) are needed for the future of this community. I will step back into the position of moderator that I had previously held. If enough people demand I will consider stepping down completely. I apologize for any harm that I have caused to this community.

      Hexbear firmly believes Grail, Mindtraveler, DRONERIGHTS, PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES, and exocrinous are the same person or at least part of the same group.

      Wow, I thought they’d love that concern trolling bullshit. Maybe I got a bad read on them, maybe I should join up, see if I can find a comfy niche or something. Might be better than depending on people who’ll defend 'til my death characters that are clearly here to cause problems. I didn’t actually think hexbears thought enough to be able to spot that sort of thing but yeah, that bunch are clearly playing incendiary games with our spaces. I refuse to feel embarrassed if they turn out to all be one person and not two with some (possibly unwitting, in some cases) support from a few others. There are definitely some alt games going on, though.

        As someone who joined Hexbear from blahaj AFTER blahaj was defederated from them: Hexbear gets a really bad rap for a lot of reasons, some true and and most false, a lot of the reasons are heavily exaggerated because of how anti-communist the west has become.

        A lot of their aggression is normally pointed at people who are actively being chuds or are in some way threatening the safety of trans people.

        A lot of the times when it’s said hexbear is “brigading” is really just on a thread that got popular enough to show up on our All/Active page, and because the users there tend to be especially active, it looks like a concerted effort.

        Usually ‘libs’ are only targeted when they actively side with bad actors or act in a way that’s anti-communist.

        Join up or don’t, i’ve only had good experiences in their trans comm.

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
