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.

    Thanks for clarification. I think we’re headed in a good direction in that regard, i think that our use of the disengage rule is something a lot of other communities could benefit from, knowing that mods are on your side when somebody acts transphobic etc. also does a lot to make things easier and i’d say and that we’ve largely done good progress in moving away from flamewar and debate pervertry culture since the days when we were all fresh off reddit. But yeah, we aren’t perfect in that regard.
