Hello users of hexbear:
Due to recent meta posts in our mutual aid community we wanted to open up discussion about the community [email protected]
We will never require explanation or justification from a user asking for aid in the community, and the mod and admin team continue to commit to not featuring an individual’s mutual aid request to prevent unfair exposure.
In addition, we will maintain a strict “No critical comments or meta comments” on a mutual aid post.
This post is to discuss the mutual aid community’s rule of allowing meta posts: mutual aid as a community, those making posts in it and those commenting on posts.
We are considering removing the exception allowing meta posts but wanted to involve the userbase before committing to a change.
Please comment with any thoughts, feelings, or suggestions regarding this change.
Thank you
I think any changes at this point will ultimately reduce the amount that mutual aid users receive so I am against them.
The recipients need to be prioritized over everything else. Onlookers/bystanders don’t belong in this discussion at all. The goal should be to maximize aid, not make it easier to ignore cries for help.
so we should continue to allow meta-posts?
I think no for now
