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
So part of my issue is I feel like lying is conflated with scamming. I’m not going to hold it against someone if they feel the need to lie or embellish facts in order to get something to eat.
The only reason I’d want someone banned is if there is verifiable evidence of them saying shit like “yeah, I’m taking money from these stupid fucks, I don’t even need the money.”
