At this point I don't intend to go back to hexbear no matter what it is called. Not because I dont love the people and the site culture but because I can't trust the admin team. I was beginning to consider going back after the "Meta open-floor" discussion but the struggles over transparency and moderation were never really resolved.

This latest event reaffirmed my decision to stay away. The "we fucked up" narrative just doesn't sit well with me. I can't accept that the Admin who originally set up the url just "forgot. You don't break up 2000 comrades meeting place unless there was some serious bad blood.

I'm pretty upset over the events that lead to me deleting my account but even then I'd gladly do more to save hexbear than the little work it would have been to transfer the DNS account... unless I had serious suspicions that the site was a threat to the comrades there.

That's exactly pretty much it. At this point, I straight up don't believe them. Do we have solid proof/evidence that is what actually happened, or did some internal struggle session happen and the "original admin" doesn't wanna talk to anyone anymore?

We wont ever know, but we can make some pretty decent assumptions off the history of the site.
