I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
Banning comments critical of ableism is way beyond anything that a hexbear has ever done. This is absolutely damning stuff. This isn't a random user or something. It's
an admina mod over there.It's a good illustration about differing values - hexbear takes bigotry very seriously while most online communities let it slide. And then other communities look at how unapologetically serious and mean we are about politics and decide we're irredeemable. Total values disconnect.
They are kinder to systems than they are to individuals
It's terminal stage "to each their own" permissiveness where the only forbidden takes are ones that say some takes are bad because they lead to hurting and killing people.
mod, not admin
