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.

      Just a month ago the mere mention of veganism made dozens of reactionary assholes jump out the woodwork calling all vegans racist. I gave up on this site too tbh, but we have a nice vegan theory club on discord if you want to join

        I think I know what you're talking about (saw it somewhere other than hb), holy shit, it's such a bad argument, carnies should feel bad for even trying it.
