I'm going through all the comms I moderate and asking for feedback from the different demographic groups.

I personally feel like we do a good job moderating hexbear in terms of blatant transphobia, there is a reason why the majority of our userbase is some flavor of gender-queer, and from a moderator perspective: this is the easiest comm to mod as it never seems to have any issues.

However, I would still like your feedback. Is there anything you feel like as a trans person that we could do better in regards to moderating both this community specifically, and hexbear in general?

I did a similar post on Slops community, asking for feedback regarding how specifically their comm is moderated, I did not ask for their overall sentiments of Hexbear at large. "Slop" is not a clear demographic though.

This comm is different though, as the demographic is clearer. From your perspective as people who are more covid/health aware, what are your concerns with not only how this comm is moderated, but the site in general?

I have come to the conclusion that meta-posts suck. They drain everyone of their energy, and they quickly fill up with essay long paragraphs that I have no desire or attention span to wade through and fuck up my mental health.

Rather than focus on site-wide issues, the purpose of this post is to get feedback on this specific comm. What issues do you see here specifically that you would like us to focus more on?

I hope to address problems in a pinpoint manner, and then cross reference those concerns across other comms through similar posts in order to address the bigger picture in the end.

I have no intention of having this post pinned. Too much visibility will drown out everyone's voices in a cacophony of noise. Please keep your comments relatively short and concise, using frequent paragraph breaks for longer comments so that the information can be easily digested. It helps with my ADHD

If this goes smoothly, I plan to work my way through other comms I moderate and address the specific problems there, too.

edit: I was advised to pin it to this comm, it shall remain unpinned to the main page though.

Some of the animals are really into these things called “humans” and even have “Skinsonas” to look like them.

his name is Jefferson and HE HAS LORE

Skill issue. I personally wouldn’t have gotten shot. I would’ve done a dodge roll and used invincibility frames to avoid the bullet.

I was curious to see how he would be attempting to address the genocide so I took a look at his channel to see how far back I’d have to scroll to find any video about Gaza, and how he’s spin things in Israel’s favor. Literally every single video going back over a month was just man bad. I got tired of scrolling so I just searched directly for a video about Israel/Palestine and the most recent one was over a year ago.

Guess he realized the only way to maintain his “reasonable lib” persona was to make videos exclusively about trump, otherwise people would realize how much of a rabid Zionist he is

Comrade ButtBidet is going to be taking a step back from hexbear and moderating comms in order to focus on his mental health. I’m not super active on this comm, but I offered to step up to help take care of things in his absence.

Make sure to report any problematic stuff and I’ll address things to the best of my ability. I want to help keep this place as a safe and welcoming environment free from misinformation

They tell me: Mr. Trump, you’ll never be able to achieve enlightenment. Nirvana is far out of your reach, annd you're destined to go through Samsara again. And I tell them: anyone can achieve enlightenment regardless of the Varna they’re born into.
