  • My post goes into detail about 2+ year old hexbear drama about how the old ND mod team got alienated, burnt out, and largely gave up on the site. I didn't feel like using my old account when I came back to this site after a break. My posts have been genuine

    Wait, so you have a grudge against this site from 2+ year old drama and then used a transphobic bit account as your example for why Hexbear is supposedly unsafe for ND people?? That’s really not cool OP.

    Like holy shit I feel like you really intentionally buried the lead on that. It’s hard not to feel like you’re being intentionally manipulative with all of this now. Why wouldn’t you be honest about your personal involvement here?

    For now, I am going to compile all my posts, and posts not by me but related to DroneRights ban into one easier to read post or comment, then i'm probably gonna log off for a couple weeks. The ND community deserves a more informed and prepared advocate for them, so I'm gonna do some more reading on ND and gender issues so i can be one.

    I don’t want you speaking for me. Go have a fucking messiah complex somewhere else asshole.


  • thank you for answering. I understand why you want to improve ND inclusivity, that’s something I care about too. As an autistic person and a trans/enby person, though, I think DroneRights ban was correct. It was actively transphobic and enbyphobic.

    I get why you might not have noticed a lot of the dogwhistles as a cis person, but I’ve been experiencing transphobia for years both online and IRL (unfortunately). I’m also frustrated that one of the first systems that’s come around on this site was either an outright troll or just deeply unpleasant.

    encouraging folks to use tone indicators is a cool idea. a lot of the emotes wind up working that way for me, which is why I like them. trans-heart.














  • you centered a user who repeatedly made extremely transphobic and enbyphobic statements in your post about ND accessibility. as an autistic and ND person who is also trans and enby I find it very difficult to set that aside in this post.

    in good faith, I would really encourage you to maybe make a different post that doesn’t try to use a transphobe as a way to make a point. when I’ve asked for accessibility in the past people have been accommodating. the admins / mods here have a good track record in my personal experience.

    Are you open to doing that? I’m honestly confused why you’re so invested in DroneRights instead of the many other ND people on this site saying it repeatedly made them feel unwelcome.
