Do your problems gain any traction here? Do you feel accepted? Are there any concerns? Any good things you have to say about hexbear when it concerns these issues? Do you think people are allies here?
apparently u/purr got banned a while back, she seemed cool, i have no idea what happened and despite my utter ignorance regarding that situation i disagree with the decision and have preemptively killed myself on this hill
You’re right, u/purr didn’t deserve a ban.
Spoilering this because they were banned for an exceptionally stupid/undeserved reason
They were involved in a veganism-related struggle sesh 4 months ago. They brought up their discomfort seeing the language of sexual violence and slavery being applied to animals.
They were active in a thread where a vegan doubled down on using “slavery” as a means to describe animal husbandry. That racist comment is still up, but purr got banned for reacting negatively to it.
The ban reason was: “Constant disinformation, condescension, generally being an asshole”
A mod also removed a statement u/purr made about being a black person.
The same user who said ‘slavery is slavery’ when comparing animal husbandry to chattel slavery also had this to say
It’s left-larping idpol radlibs poisoning the leftist movement with cowardice.
jesus christ someone should be demodded over this
edit: obligatory, I am bringing up the situation in the mod chat, no need to make a rant post
edit: the offending moderator is probably no longer active/demodded for inactivity, as the current mods/admins didn’t ban purr
