MODERATORS
They were very aggressive, and wouldn't back down, basically. They did threaten actionable violence against specific named people, a la tire iron, a number of times, and the last one was really the last straw.
And in particular there was a lot of aggression targeted towards our own users, and towards other socialist public figures. The wrong kind of aggression, at the wrong target.
Tbh "when you visited Seattle I was considering picking you up just to prove that no one here would care enough to ransom you" is a WAY more actionable threat than "I'd like to beat you with a tire iron".
Who hasn't been casually threatened online with violence? Talking about beating the shit out of someone is so commonplace it's almost cliché. And I say that as a victim of that kind of violence.
I mean, it can't really be actionable if the Seattle visit was forever ago, right? Maybe it deserves removal, but Nak's ban was in large part because they kept doing it, when Nakoichi should've long toned it down.
And I think we'd generally prefer to not have a community where users regularly threaten violence towards each other, it doesn't really feel like the atmosphere Hexbear's meant to have, even if it's not generally unusual.
