As an admin of the site, I'd love to hear your specific and named criticisms of the site. I would greatly appreciate examples of flaws within the Hexbear site culture and some recommendations on how you feel we can recover the site to a revolutionary platform with sound ideological foundations.

~~DoE is the department of Energy, this is the DoEd. Other than that you're correct.~~ (post was edited)

The overwhelming majority of DoEd-associated government employees are associated with student loans or state run programs like Vocational Rehabilitation services.

My sister was a mean girl in high school, now she's a lawyer for the State Attorney's office where she lives. Her job is to build cases against innocent people so the state can dump them into the prison system.

Mean girls all end up in HR, Nursing, Law, or working a pencil pushing job gatekeeping access to entitlement programs.

What are the odds he farms it out to an intern like he does with most movies he scores?

Hexbear has a lot of issues that have been present for a long time. These are issues that came along with the exodus from r/CTH and never went away.

There's this perception that because someone has been on the site for a long time, they can't possibly have any bad takes or harmful opinions lying below the surface. Surely they would have aired them out over the past 4 years, right? If someone hasn't been banned, they must have good takes! But if issues like fatphobia or misogyny or western chauvinism or white supremacy aren't being actively handled, these things can just... Hide below the surface. People can hold opinions that suck, and the subject just hasn't come up before or they were previously not seen as concerns worthy of moderation.

As we're trying to work on some of these issues, tons of people with unexamined brainworms are coming out of the woodwork and exposing their reactionary mindsets. Some of those people are on old accounts, some of them are even mods. Obviously, we want to give everyone the opportunity to learn and grow, but a lot of people just seem to want to die on the hill. People really just keep trying to post through it, and end up saying or doing something so egregious that it results in a ban.

If you don't want to get banned, all you have to do is just not harass people in DMs, not write a weird racist screed that's virtually indistinguishable from a chud uncle's holiday dinner rant, not spend two hours blowing up at all the other mods and admins over an argument, etc. People aren't getting ousted for taking a certain side in petty arguments. They're getting into petty arguments, doubling down, refusing mediation, getting really mad at everyone else, and then refusing reconciliation and even literally going as far as to ask for a ban.

Regarding the drama constantly making it to the front page, there's a certain clique of users on the site who keep dredging up all of this stuff and making every modlog action they don't like into a struggle session. If you go back to these other struggle session threads, you might start noticing that some of the same people just keep showing up over and over, arguing in every thread, making unfounded accusations, and posting about how they think the mods are destroying the site. Do whatever you want with this information.

Honestly, we love a fellow messy binch on this site. What is this post, if not being messy binches ourselves? We all love slop and gossip so much because we are all messy binches.
