I think her intention is to go against what she believes to be some privileged pickme's on this site. Like when a privileged person shares the horrid takes they hear with a marginalized person in order to flash their "I'm not like them" credentials and collect brownie points for not being actively harmful. Except that means the marginalised person has to hear the horrid takes which already can cause harm.
Are the admins of this site Libs who are trying to appease other turbo libs on other instances ?
did this have to do with the US elections
I am so so confused by all of this
I don't think the admins are libs, but I do think (and this post is evidence) that some of them are reactionary.
so why can't we replace them?
if these people don't like hexebear and aren't part of the user base they shouldn't mod it
We can. We simply need an admin like @CARCOSA@hexbear.net to (please) step in and defrock them.

That's how I understand it anyway.
That is not at all why I participated in the tanks. Further, just quoting the admin line isn't helpful here.
and I am a Palestinian who commented there ,btw I do live in Palestine (nablus) so I am pretty sure I am not a "privileged pick me"
sorry I was just trying to clarify what I understood the admin meant to mohammed, not comment on truthfulness of that statement.
edited my original comment, is that helpful or should i just nuke it?
I think it's helpful. It's good to make sure there's no misunderstandings, and your sentiment shown here by asking a followup is kind hearted.

No, it is weighing the value of dunking vs people getting exposed to the hateful stuff that gets dunked on. At least when it comes to this post.
