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.
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.
