malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? 
)

the comment in the screeshot is responding to @blakeus12@hexbear.net's wholesome introduction post here: https://hexbear.net/post/3631051
I made a TLDR here: https://hexbear.net/comment/5484512
there was a struggle session about the modlog not showing the moderators names anymore, but yeah I'll also assume that they were a hexbear and just incredibly oblivious
... i shouldnt even ask but what was the struggle session even about, it protects mods from abuse and even without it all you have to do is make shared mod accounts and it serves the same purpose???
What you see in Hexbear now is Hexbear after the TransComrade69 reforms. Before them, it used to be a lot more rancid and had even worse issues with harassment, transphobia, misogyny, etc from certain users and it was often directed at mods. The change to anonymize mods pissed off the exact kind of user you can imagine.
The Deng of Hexbear
very strange behavior, even without the devs catering to them all the mods would have need to do was make shared mod accounts and it would have accomplished the same thing
Doesn't really work, though, if a mod is demoted that would add a lot of extra work. Not to mention that there's a complicated mess of people who moderate several comms, so accounts would have to be per-comm and suddenly you're managing a lot of credentials for many accounts when you could've just had one per person.
i mean i thought a lot of places did that on
and i think ive seen it elsewhere on lemmy i didnt think it would be too much of a hassle although I suppose i dont know if it logs you out of other browsers when you change your password or not. i have no clue if bots were in lemmy back that early or how much functionality they had but you might have been able to use them i suppose
