i was trying to be tactful, respectful, and understanding by posting this thread for ppl to ask questions abt our beautiful hexbear. i didnt get any questions.
it took 4 hours for Ada, their admin, to respond. she locked the thread shortly after responding her reply above was disheartening, as she seemed willing to work with us previously. equating ableism to a dunk tank post is just vile. and claiming the transphobia in 196 is “a specific event that occurred around a month ago” proves she didnt read any of our concerns. i didnt know abt that event, im sure most of us here dont. our concerns are rooted in the chasers of 196 (non-trans ppl who fetishize trans ppl). someone replied to her saying we were “concern-trolling”. is it that unbelievable that we care abt not having bigotry in the same space as us. i want to grab some of these users by the shoulders, shake them, and yell, “WE ARE BEING GENUINE. WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT PROVIDING A SAFE, SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR ALL PEOPLE, AND YOUR COMMUNITY IS ALIENATING TRANS AND DISABLED PEOPLE!!”
responses were not very positive of us
they think this is a bit! lol, lmao even! this whole thing has me
this chain of comments particularly upset me “its a troll”. my pronouns are right next to my name, and “it” isnt one of them (even tho thats 100% a valid pronoun to prefer)
this one had me fully
and the cherry on top warranted its own post https://hexbear.net/post/373453
We don’t need to, they already defederated from us without ever talking to us.
If they think bearing with the hex was bad, wait until they get us if they ever decide to try again. We’re not half as patient as hexbear is with liberals, though I appreciate their effort to make this federation work with blahaj
I’m not entirely sure how federation/defederation works since it’s one way, from what I understand the posts that were federated remain, and one of the two parties can still comment and be seen, but the other can’t? It’s not super well documented yet
As someone that created an account here after the drama on blahaj, I’m disappointed to see so many sweeping generalizations of the people that used the instance
glad to see new people, hope you like the new /c/traa community :) will be putting some gas in the engine after i wake up from my next sleep
Thanks, I checked it out a bit. Looking forward to seeing more posts populate.
I’m still not sure if I’m going to stay, hexbear seems a little chaotic at best coming from blahaj, and a lot of the users are pretty aggressive. But I’m here for now
