First a call-out of fatphobia (https://hexbear.net/post/4189552) that ended up proving its point, then the stuff about “he/hims” (https://hexbear.net/post/4187781) ". Apparently a mod got banned!?
I am not very active and I never look at the megathreads, the number of comments in them scare me away from them. Is that where it’s happening? I feel confused about what this community is like now.
I, uh, don’t really know what my point is. Maybe someone can explain what the state of the site is? Especially on the he/hims thing. Maybe that’s the main point of this post.
I feel sad for people that got hurt by this.
I dunno. I’ve been here from the very beginning, and it never felt like it does now. Things have taken a turn for the worse imo
Our struggle sessions used to be about cats and rocks, and kicking out obvious reactionaries, not whatever the fuck is going on now
I could be wrong; I often am. The deletion of CarlMarks’ post does fit with my feeling that moderation has been recently used to “win” (possibly not the right word) arguments, with the modlog reasons being final points that are impossible to respond to. Having been part of forum and chat mod teams in the past, this is a very familiar feeling.
Idk, I think the vegan struggle session was the worst I’ve ever seen here, and this current stuff isn’t even close to that imo. Tbf though I never pay that much attention to site drama anyway
idk what to tell you if you think shit like “not all men” and “lose weight fatty” isn’t reactionary. this is why your website sucks, not the other stuff
idk what to tell you but if you think that’s what they think then you’re part of the problem
Is that so? Am I? Well, if you say so.
i do
You don’t seem to think very much before you type anymore
do you ever log off
Our struggle sessions were about much more than that, and pretending they weren’t is deeply misleading.
You’re lying to try to prove a point, a pathetic one, about how a site has changed after four years. Like some sort of old geezer bemoaning about how “things aren’t like they were back in my day” while conveniently leaving out all the shitty parts that conveniently never affected you.
Drop this, it’s pathetic
