Your decisions at the beginning really helped shape this site's culture into what it is now in the best possible way. Like Stalin, after your departure a pile of rubbish was heaped on your grave, but the wind of History sooner or later swept it away without mercy.

Banning transphobes is based as hell actually, instantly makes this one of the only good places on the internet.

I really do mean that I get it now though. Having re-read some of those thread (and for anyone curious I made a compilation post) made me realise what I didn't see back then, because I used to stay out of all those discussions. People were frustratingly obtuse, and that's being generous. I definitely would have done the same, had I been in your spot. I can relate to being medicated and then looking back at previous behaviour too though, it's... it's an experience for sure.
Looking forward to experiencing your community organising.

Oh it's not just dumpster bread. They make this weird caramelized double croissant-thing. It's like crack cocaine. I'm giving out so many baked goods, partially because of course I do, but mainly to avoid clogging my arteries.

I definitely was very overbearing but not without good reason.

Thank you very much, sincerely, your efforts are part of the reason why hexbear is one of the only usable deep internet sites due to how much of a plague transphobia is, even on supposedly "leftist" sites.
