If you think this post is dorky, theres a comment you can upbear to tell me how dorky and bad you think my post is, but still upvote the post for visibility
I think our posting is too powerful, simply by posting as we always would, or even at a lower intensity, we overwhelm people with replies to the point that can feel like a coordinated dogpile.
I think we should be conscious not to reply *if another hexbear has already said basically what you were going to"
I don't wanna see a lib take, and then scroll down to see the same 3 lines 10 times that I knew would be there before I looked like we're redditors
Now, if theres a Nazi I expect to see a thousand "fuck off and die nazi scum", but if its a liberal giving a lukewarm liberal take, we should consciously not pile on. And if you just have to add something, take a second to make it digestible for other instances, if you're not posting on Hexbear.
This isn't a tone policing thing, I'm not wagging my finger at you for being rude, I just think its simply unwise to proceed as we have been, tactically. We will alienate people we don't need to, for example any left-leaning liberal who happens to be neurodivergent and say something libbish, we're just absolutely annihilating them.
I also think its important to tone down the PPB, for everyone not in hexbear, seeing a PPB should be like seeing , announcing the fall of a nazi or fucko. People should see it and smile and say "ahh, they got another one" not "oh these fuckin people"
TLDR: If its been said don't say it again, if you're gonna say it, make sure its understandable and proportionate.
Thoughts?
Posting is a sacred right that shall not be infringed.
Counter Point: Avoiding dog-piling people who aren't actually nazis is neurodivergence inclusion. You can't know who you could hurt without realizing, its not like we walk around wearing signs, so best to avoid stuff that could for no reason right? Along the same lines as not using slurs.
One of the most wonderful parts of Hexbear for me is if I start to panic and feel cornered and need an interaction to end, I can just say disengage and its /OVER/ no questions asked, I don't have to explain while having a panic attack why I should be allowed to be left alone, for example. Its not that that happens very often, I don't think it's happened on this account, but knowing that If I needed it I could is very comforting, its one of the reasons I feel safe here.
Im kinda drunk now so this my be a tangent idk lmaooo o7
