First a call-out of fatphobia (https://hexbear.net/post/4189552) that ended up proving its point, then the stuff about "he/hims" (https://hexbear.net/post/4187781) ". Apparently a mod got banned!?

I am not very active and I never look at the megathreads, the number of comments in them scare me away from them. Is that where it's happening? I feel confused about what this community is like now.

I, uh, don't really know what my point is. Maybe someone can explain what the state of the site is? Especially on the he/hims thing. Maybe that's the main point of this post.

I feel sad for people that got hurt by this.

Happy to see your response to this comment. I gotta couple of three things

When a notable about of users with intersectioned identities speak out that there is a site culture problem with regard to racism, misogyny, and now fat phobia we are taking action as another admin commented.

And when an equal notable amount of users with intersectioned identities respond that they don't agree, what then?

Your analogy with an organization makes sense, except an org doesn't have people trying to bust through the literal door to scream slurs and project porn/gore on the walls

This is acknowledged as well.

The people that don't agree and have considered leaving the site are welcome to message me with their specific concerns as the others have or if they have already left I'm happy to hear their concerns through an intermediary.
