It seems to really have alienated a number of people and prevented them from posting. This is a great shame because I felt that hexbears’s momentum and place of online leftism was really starting to shine in the days after the election. This is the most important time for there to be an alternative on the left and we’re wasting it, with what appears to be the start of another struggle session caused by mods unilaterally deciding things.
I don’t really have a solution or more to say, more just this dump of feelings
What struggle session? Was it the vegans again?
No it was the rock stackers complaining about outdoor cats knocking down their Babylonian towers
how could john kerry do this?
Not my rocks!
No a bunch of people were up voting some tailist shit and mods used the view up vote tool to see who was agreeing with it and some folks caught some strays. Only temp bans were issued over it and tbh I think most of them could have been corrected verbally unfortunately this is not that sort of medium and some of our lgbtq and poc comrades were uncomfortable with a particular comment being up voted so much. Was it an overcorrection? Perhaps but it is not the massive problem people are making it out to be.
I am on team remove upvotes.
I learned what tailism is just now, thanks!
Once again my totally intentional strategy of not upvoting anything pays off
It was Beanis posters vs fake news posters. The fight of the century
So glad we wom
