Can we not devolve into shit talking other communities and childish in-fighting? Drama like this is exactly what made Reddit awful, and I hate seeing stuff like this here.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not condoning toxic communities (as many on here claim hexbear is). If your community actively ascribes to promoting hate, for instance, it should be removed/locked/etc. I am, however, making the distinction that we don’t need to witch-hunt other communities because we don’t agree with their policies or how they are run.
Hexbear does actively promote hate towards any non-socialist political ideologies, and towards any trans- and homophobic people. They’re not entirely wrong, it’s the means they choose that i hate. They’re not reducing the amount of hate, only increasing it. Also, seeing such level of hostility they have is depressing.
Drag disagrees. Zero mod and admin accountability was what made Reddit awful. Getting your account banned for being slightly left wing and having a robot deny your appeals sucked. Communities like r/fatpeoplehate and r/the_donald and r/politicalcompassmemes that took years for admins to address were the worst parts of reddit.
