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.
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:
