I've noticed a lot of :morshupls: and :debatebro-l: from carnists going unmoderated in this community even after being reported and was wondering why. I decided to have a look at the list of mods to find out, and discovered the following:
- @ella has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since December 2021.
- @DashEightMate has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since May 2021.
- @Dirtbag has never made a post or comment on Hexbear.
- @Kanna posts or comments on a fairly regular basis - once a week or so - but this clearly isn't enough for the only active mod of this community.
If c/vegan is going to be in any sense useable as a place for vegans to discuss our ideas in a friendly environment, rather than yet another platform on which we must battle carnists at every turn, we're going to need some new blood on the mod team.
I don’t post much in c/vegan and I am in fact a vegan. For the life of me I can’t understand why someone would go to a vegan channel on a forum of comrades and solidarity to just be a jerk. That’s not cool. Being a leftie as is about being cool with your friends. Being a leftie vegan is about being cool with your friends of all forms of life. Hexbear is too small to causing a ruckus amongst ourselves. Be cool :tofu-cool:

That's not true though. Carnists will respond in threads that aren't even close to bait
There's drama all over hexbear all the time, what are you talking about? And meat eaters aren't just "responding," they're coming in and engaging in wrecker behavior and trolling. That wouldn't tolerated in any other comm either.

lol. Bait apparently = lamenting the fact that carnists can't stand that we exist. (And the flies, as you call them come in and prove that very point every time).
Also what you said is not even true, considering that a post asking for better moderation has the most comments in quite a long ass time. And the recent runner up is only because a wrecker troll insisted on coming in and proving the point of the post.
For my part I will admit that I keep falling into the trap of thinking that otherwise seemingly intelligent communists would be more self aware, but nope.
Good point! Maybe I am just ignorant to it, but I have not seen much “drama” on this site. Some heated discussion and conversation for sure but honestly I respect this site is pretty solid (in my experience), luckily I have mostly people at least come to healthy-ish conclusions or least just stopped talking to each rather than full flame war.
Baiting should be reserved for the libs and CHUDS. Not comrades.
Tone policing vegans on hexbear, a staple
You feel more kinship to the murderers than their victims. Carnists are inherently reactionary
It's about Main Character Syndrome and a pathological fear of feeling bad about consuming a product if there's any criticism of that product. Many such cases.
As always UlyssesT dropping knowledge!
Still, it’s rather odd to me that someone on an absurdly niche website like Hexbear would go out of their way to be salty. Everyone on this site is pretty tight, and the vegan hypetrain is rather welcoming and not scolding (from what I have seen at least).
Just so weird to go vegan hangout and be mean, when you could at least learn something. I dont know my larger point is here, but I guess I just want Hexbears users to be cool
:hexbear-retro: :solidarity: :hexbear-retro:
I wish. :sicko-wistful:
Going to a vegan subforum just to :debatebro-l: is pretty not tight. :sadness:
Still, most people here are pretty rad. :hexbear-retro: :solidarity: :hexbear-retro:
They're even doing it in this very thread!
I see that. In that case I would just not engage them. Basic internet protocol, don’t engage those trolls. Even if they are supposedly sharing our same general principles. If they aren’t coming correct and in good faith don’t even take the bait. Just get some baked peas 🫛 snacks and keep it moving. I’ll be sure to post in c/vegan going forward though. :vegan-v:
