I've noticed a lot of :morshupls: and :debatebro-l: from carnists going unmoderated in this community even after being reported and was wondering why. I decided to have a look at the list of mods to find out, and discovered the following:

  • @ella has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since December 2021.
  • @DashEightMate has not made a post or comment on Hexbear since May 2021.
  • @Dirtbag has never made a post or comment on Hexbear.
  • @Kanna posts or comments on a fairly regular basis - once a week or so - but this clearly isn't enough for the only active mod of this community.

If c/vegan is going to be in any sense useable as a place for vegans to discuss our ideas in a friendly environment, rather than yet another platform on which we must battle carnists at every turn, we're going to need some new blood on the mod team.

    Oh no the new team is great but the years of shitty site culture don't change that fast

        Just a month ago the mere mention of veganism made dozens of reactionary assholes jump out the woodwork calling all vegans racist. I gave up on this site too tbh, but we have a nice vegan theory club on discord if you want to join

          I think I know what you're talking about (saw it somewhere other than hb), holy shit, it's such a bad argument, carnies should feel bad for even trying it.
