MODERATORS
My answer:
When chapotraphouse was banned on reddit many mods and users came together to create a space on a link aggregator platform.
Choosing lemmy the original admin and developer team decided to fork it for various reasons. About a year ago, sustained effort was taken to upstream many of the forked features so that we could rebase with current version lemmy and federate.
Over the years hexbear has become a non-sectarian social media space for sharing news, memes, links, posts and comments with each other as the mods endeavour to make the space welcoming to marginalized people.

Hexbear is the only independent western social media platform that has been the subject of multiple libertarian think-tank pieces and likely CIA operations, and nearly one appearance on Australian national television.
...Really?
a couple years ago we bullied a terf hard enough she threatened to talk about us on aussie tv
of course we just bullied her harder lol
I see you cats a lot on c/all, and to be honest, I don’t understand a lot of what y’all talk about.
But bullying TERFs is unfathomably based.
We have all the news the mainstream media is too polite and beholden to money to talk about!
And unlike Fox we’re not lying about that!
Damn, so it didn't happen...
dunno, i stopped paying attention after a while
found a post about it

The first two are actually about the old chapotraphouse subreddit from which this place was born.
Damn, interesting.
The giggle one is especially hilarious because we literally destroyed her entire platform and possibly her career.
Damn!
Good riddance to bad eggplants
We made it into a criminal justice professor's dissertation

Who's "we" in this case?
Also, wtf!

OH!
Gotcha.
Maybe they should try listening to what people ask for before things escalate into violence, instead of provoking us and then complaining that we’re angry all the time.
