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.
Same thing from me, @Kanna . Your work and dedication here, especially with all you have to put up with, it's very much appreciated, I hope that was clear from my comment. Also, I know it's locked, but your "Reminder:" post is :chefs-kiss:
Edit: Also the same to other mods and former mods - I didn't mean to demean anybody by calling you place-holders. I just didn't see any activity, but I can completely understand the need to distance yourselves or even just give up and do something else. The shit you have to put up with I can only imagine is seriously taxing on mental health.
