What the hell is up with Hexbear moderation on this post? (hexbear.net)

I'm not going to argue about Hexbear's rules or their decision to lock a post and remove comments because they don't want to reignite one of their old struggle sessions.

That being said, how the hell do you remove all comments from users clarifying their positions and defending themselves against accusations yet leave up a comment that says

"crawl back to your misogynist hellspace over on incelgrad"?

And there's no excuse that the mods didn't see it, because they removed a comment that was a direct reply to it.

I'm pinging @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net since you're a mod on both that post's community and this community.

No, Hexbear has a different culture and rules and that's fine. I'm not concerned with trash talk or posting PPB or calling Lemmygrad names or whatever. Accusing an instance of being a misogynist or "incel" space is beyond the realm of trash talk, however.

It paints the entire community as bigoted or a space that allows bigotry. Accusations like this are serious and shouldn't be allowed as "trash talk" or just for fun.

how is it not permitted to say a community is too permissive of misogyny

why is that a taboo accusation

why is that a taboo accusation

Is the accusation warranted tho? I haven't interacted that much with lemmygrad users but never noticed any sort of rampant misogyny. I agree with OP this seems like unnecessary behavior.

I noticed that little scuffle and I agree, "incelgrad" made me cringe and seemed like it was at least three or four notches of hostility higher than was necessary. If it wasn't so sincerely mean-spirited it would be comical, like "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" type of thing.

I'm not saying it should be taboo, I'm saying it's something that should be treated seriously, not as a jab, trash talk, or unsubstantiated statement.

Again, I'm not trying to criticise Hexbear's culture and I'm certainly not bothered or annoyed when people make fun of other instances or insult them, etc. I'm just saying that accusations of bigotry especially are serious and should be treated seriously. You can call people libs or a bunch of names, sure, but calling them racist, for example, is a serious accusation.

I hope you understand where I'm coming from. I just think bigotry should not be taken lightly.
