  • if the intention behind this was to create a more serious and disciplined image for hexbear then that has obviously failed, that's not something you can just impose on a community overnight. The way this change has been carried out and communicated is actually kind of humiliating, for me included for posting here.

    If the intention is to purge an undesirable culture on this website, well that culture is also the most active one. I think further intensification of this policy will more likely just lead to a significant decrease in activity overall. I do hope the administrative and moderation team will cease this course, and revise their plans to instead encourage the higher effort posts they want to see rather than trying to limit lower effort posts.

    Furthermore, some of the reasons given for the change are quite odd and inflammatory. I understand how shitposting is not constructive, I think that's the strongest argument. The problem is I'm not usually coming on here to do work believe it or not. I'm usually here when i am trying to avoid my actual work. That and the news megathread, which is actually where the action is. I have the same objection to arguments like it "promotes misanthropy" and "mutual self harm". Come on, are you my mother now? Or my boss? Put on a smile and get to work effort posting? My actual mother gives me less shit over my smoking and she thinks my humor is witty. You can't expect too much discipline from anonymous form users, and honestly this place already has pretty well disciplined users when it comes to supporting each other but being ruthless to the libs and reactionaries. As for the too many white cis male communist "vibes" problem, this is a English speaking website spun off a American social media corporation, there's gonna be white men here. The ones here seem pretty well behaved to me and those who aren't got policed, and there's been a lot of past efforts to insure inclusivity for minorities of all sorts. The unsupported accusations of the shitposters just being stinky misogynists ironically reeks of the reputation r/CTH got branded with among liberal reddit around 2016. First as a tragedy then a farce eyy?




  • Who could imagine the nation that engaged in indigenous genocide, racial slavery, indigenous genocide again, more slavery, regional imperialism, global imperialism, social murder, and then more genocide would be lacking in basic human decency?
