Good point, thanks

Featured, best of luck to the donation drive. The lemmy developers do good work and deserve good pay

The ban from site and appoint to admin used to be next to each other

Those alt accounts were not Melina

Done, thank you

What is being brushed aside? The disengage comment was edited to be in accordance with the disengage rule and mods ought to remove disengage violations when reported.

Users that have abused the disengage rule in the past by using it to get the last word in have also received bans

the user who disengaged edited his comment to reflect the spirit of the rule which is by making a comment with “disengage” or a short sentence to that effect, like “Disengage now, I don’t wanna continue a conversation with you.”

Outside of the specific user who was banned I wanted to address meta communities.

The previous attempts at a meta community or even a ban appeal pinned post have caused more drama in each new post as new discussions of the mod actions occur…

Often times restarting contentious discussion where folks are talking past each other and assuming bad faith.

We are available on matrix for people who wish to discuss their ban but ultimately it is very easy to make a hexbear account and as a result very easy to get banned.

This core aspect of site administration has been here since the start and if it wasn’t for the handful of spammers I deny each day I would remove the application entirely.

I’m open to a hexbear user discussion on a meta community but a local user in good standing must apply to be a moderator if a meta community is to be made.

We have been using !feedback@hexbear.net and !hexbear@hexbear.net as meta communities in addition to the Matrix space mentioned in the site sidebar for the past year or so.

Pretty sure @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net made it if not it was either an admin or dev that is likely no longer a part of the project, gave permission to use, and does not want credit for opsec reasons

That would be nice, but with most instances that have blocked us on vibes it’s not likely. I tried to reach out before and got no response

Up with trans

Exactly :>

There was a lorum ipsum babyjak spam and then two attempts at transphobic screed / gore image spamming

That is the same group that tried three times to raid hexbear and was unsuccessful

please repost in mutual aid

Yes after it showed up when a user was showing their therapist a hexbear post we decided it had to go.

Good idea, done

thanks, added

If xiaohongshu is so great why isn’t there @xiaohongshu2@hexbear.net ?
