Struggle informs theory, and theory in turn counsels action. That’s why those at the summits of power do everything that can to ridicule and condemn and censor these ideas

    Nor do I have hate for you or the /0 instance in fact in the vote post majority of the hexbear users feel the same way.

    There are no downvotes and the culture of commenting dissent might make it feel like there are so many that want to burn the bridge but based on every instance wide federation check in more enjoy /0 and the users than dislike.

    I used an alt because you are banned from hexbear so posts you make don’t show up, i guess I could’ve done it in matrix but decided to do it publically. Yeah I care about you and your opinion over every other instance (except the .ml ones, tankies gotta stick together) and despite what you may think didn’t want to ban you. Getting a

    If you want to develop a culture where users feel safe to report direct messages you need to act on them regardless of who they are. I’ve banned many longtime hexbear users and moderators for the same thing.

    I’ve removed all the posts regarding you and Unruffled that I was aware of and didn’t know that the pfp post was even about you, the primary account I use has avatars disabled. Reporting that post would have helped in getting it addressed. For what it’s worth the person you direct messaged actually removed one of the posts about you after it was reported.

    Moderation can always improve, just as there were criticisms of the way that the meme in /c/piracy was handled there are criticisms to be made of how moderation is on hexbear communities. Just as there is hate and animosity towards /0 users and admins there is hate and animosity towards hexbear users and admins.

    I said you were banned for dm harassment of a moderator, as that is what happened. Had you said the same thing in a comment the action would have likely been different. I apologize that you’ve received harassing direct messages and for the unreliable cross-instance reporting.

    It is the responsibility of both moderator and user to cultivate a community. With active moderation on one hand and reporting on the other. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize moderation without doing your part.

    I’m saddened that this ended up how it did and apologize for any stress you experienced.

    I won’t be logging back onto this account for awhile, thanks for your previous comment and i wish you the best.

    I’ve reviewed the past week of reports and literally see 0 made by you. Outside of reports I’ve asked any posts made regarding db0 mods or admins to be removed, if I’ve missed any that specifically reference you or others please let me know, and I’ll address them in context of community/site code of conduct. I apologize if there are any that were allowed to stay up for an extended period of time.

    Commenting is not the same as the report function. Yes, I do trust the hexbear moderators to handle their communities as they see fit, if you were to see the amount of posts/comments on hexbear you could understand the need to delegate. In addition, I personally believe in horizontal power and entrusting the site to those that stand up to take responsibility for the community. There is an established method for questioning mod decisions, either the feedback or hexbear community. I recognize that it may be unclear to non-local users, if I may what is the db0 process for handling disputes for mod actions?

    Do you think that if one of your moderators was sent a direct message calling them a piece of shit, you would act differently?

    I dispute the accusation that there were 10 different posts, rather there were three that are removed. If there are others, please send me the link so that they can be addressed.

    Is it fair to expect the admins to individually review over 3 million comments without having reports to guide us to those made in violation of rules?

    Have you ever done a lemmy search for “hexbear”?

    I think you will find there are many threads flinging insults and disinfo about us and I would say that I don’t feel the need to defend, in fact had you or Unruffled heeded my advice about making a non-admin account to comment/post on we would not be in this situation.

    Based upon the praise in this thread and in the hexbear vote regarding db0 you would see the positive outweigh the negative of you and your instance.

    Do you think it is possible then that there was a delay in reports on hexbear, regarding posts criticizing db0? Did @[email protected] even report any of the posts referenced in the image? If you moderated a user and that user then sent you a message calling you a piece of shit, would you expect your admin to stand up for you and ban the person harassing you?

    Neither I nor any other hexbear user complain about the myriad of posts or comments slandering hexbear users their mods/admins that come out every single day, yet a small portion of these come for db0 (which are now moderated to the best of my knowledge) and there is a big problem.

    I would like to remind you that timezones exist, and I am in MSK time zone and there are delays compared to those in others.
