Hello users of Hexbear, there have been many changes and some drama the past few months.
The recent changes we've been making have been an attempt to create a more safe and welcoming environment for many demographics that have been overlooked in the past.
For any of our comrades that have been unintentionally hurt in this process, we apologise and hope to find a solution that accommodates as many people as possible while still meeting the needs of the marginalised groups who need a space like this the most.
The intent of this post is to provide a space for all users to air grievances with regard to the site. As well as provide suggestions for specific things that could be changed to address your grievance. Comments insulting the mod team or those without a specific means to address your problem may be removed. No commenter will be sitebanned, unless it clearly breaks the code of conduct.
IMHO news mega sucks the most of all of them. I would like to see posts about news because then I can more easily know what's happening in the world. News mega obscures a lot and everyone talking in shorthand I don't understand.
And if you visit c/news it is a big collection of old pinned posts. Can only assume that is some kind of joke.
Yes the news mega sucks all the air out of the room and makes it very easy to lose track of current events if hexbear is your primary social media
Well it's one I would trust more to give me a certain kind of perspective, and be selecting better quality links than others, if the others are concerned with general news at all.
But if most of the people who have the wherewithall to do that enjoy posting in the mega style, I don't see much to do about it.
