Hexbear is far more likely to have users entering and using our comms, being another large socialist instance, albeit dedicated to left unity rather than Marxism like ourselves. I think there is enough of a culture change that we need to have a pinned post for hexbear users coming here explaining what kind of content/attitudes they might see here/what different rules to follow

There should also be a section dedicated to explaining to lemmygrad users to respect hexbear comm rules and what to expect from their users etc.

I think this would help ease any potential cross site struggle sessions

      Nah, publicly is fine. I posted publicly, after all. Hearing that guy is gone is encouraging, and that most of the mod team is trans is as well. You actually can undo some of the damage directed at me personally by checking your discord logs and reviewing my ban. Violated rules once, punished twice for it, many months apart. FWIW, the other lemmy members who are hexbear refugees that I’ve spoken to barely remember the details, so maybe it’s all water under the bridge. I’ll clear my no vote, because it sounds like leadership has changed hands and being cordial and soliciting criticism is the most I’ve gotten from any mod there in the past

          Just to say I’m one of the others who was around for that ‘lifeboat’ server and left at the same time. I don’t recall if they banned me, or if I just left in disgust at how they were treating us, along with you know… having a gods damned groomer for a mod and trying to spin it as us being anti-furry bigots.

          In any case, assuming those people are in fact gone then I’m whatever. Trying not to care about online drama so much now.
