  • Commenting on the most commented* post in db0's history!!!

    • That's not even close. I have one with 1k+ angry hexbear comments

      • Which one is that?

        • Oof that was somewhere in autumn 2023

          • Wow! Where does the time go?

            • Since you're here, You gonna do anything about all the ableist hexbears I keep having to ban from my comm, or nah?

              • Did you report the ableism? Also if you are compelled to make a bait post but don't want to argue you can ping me and I will kindly use my admin powers to lock the post from the hexbear side allowing you to have a meme echo chamber ❤

                • Just for my own record I've started reading the post, I've come across you insulting someone's reading comprehension which is ableist against those with dyslexia, insulting someone's inability to read the room which is ableist against those with autism.

                  Again I'm sorry this has been such a stressful post for you, and I'm more than happy to work with you by using our admin and moderator tools to aid you in curating an online experience that is pleasing and relaxing

                  • Ok so you're just covering up for ableists as well which as much as I expected. But I didn't expect you to actively trivialize ableism like this so you can make passive aggressive notes.

                    • I don't see any reports of ableism, and I don't know what you mean about passive aggressive notes? I have difficulty parsing tone over text but if you could be more clear I would appreciate it

                      I'm trying to work with you here but you aren't giving me anything to work with. I tried to read through the 400+ comments but my ADHD is really giving me a hard time with the walls of text.

                      On hexbear we focus on a horizontal approach to moderation by empowering community moderators to handle their communities leaving admins to deal with site-wide problems. If you don't have enough moderators in this community to handle it without causing yourself mental distress then I would suggest you adding more moderators.

                      Would you like me to lock this post from hexbear's side now? Last time I did it I received snark from the db0 mod team so thought that you wanted them left open but now that I know how much stress it is causing you I am reconsidering.

                      • I don't see any reports of ableism,

                        Just check the modlogs of this comm for ableism bans.

                        I'm trying to work with you here but you aren't giving me anything to work with

                        Because I don't have any more patience for Hexbear-brand bad faith and manipulation and when I try to interact with y'all in good faith, I instantly regret it.

                        But fine, while I don't think you're planning to do anything and are just baiting me with good faith again, here's just one of the comments thread where I explicitly explained my autism coping mechanisms for a hexbear-swarmed thread like this, in good faith. This only led to gaslighting and bad faith assumptions, served with self-righteousness. Once I banned this user, at least 4 other hexbears doubled and tripled down on the same assumptions elsewhere in the thread, continuing to gaslight, goad, and just make out of whole cloth what's in my head. All of these upvoted by yet more hexbears as well.

                        Just in case it's still not clear:

                        • When a large hostile group invades the space of an autistic person and then gaslights them for the coping mechanisms they use to deal with that situation (after they explained it in good faith, no less). That's ableism.
                        • When an autistic person tries to disengage from a stressful situation a group put them in, and that group ridicules that act in order to goad their autistic compulsions to have them continue engaging and end up like a "lolcow" for them, that's ableism.

                        I cannot make this any more clear.

              • I keep seeing this accusation and would love some proof. I will personally do something about it if you can demonstrate such thing.

                (Mind you, you have been guilty of much more egregious ableism than I have ever seen on hexbear and I was the one that banned you the first time)

              • We've been told Hexbear takes ableism seriously so hopefully they will.
