There doesn’t seem like there’s any major concerns about transphobia on hexbear, and I’m proud of that fact.

Demifiend would like to remind everyone that Covid continues to be a concern that affects marginalized communities most of all, and it is importantly to continue to take appropriate precautions for it.

Oh, and if you want to be a mod for the trans comm let us know. It’s probably the easiest place to mod and the only thing you’ll probably notice is you’ll have a fancy badge next to your name.

Copying and pasting a segment from my comment on your covid comm feedback post here since it's relevant to this community as well:

As for the rest of the website, I would like to see covid denialism be taken more seriously, even more casual forms of it. It’s very frustrating that there are so many people on this website, and on the left in general, who have obviously given up on masking (or taking any precautions at all) and think that they are still my comrades. For instance, I used to post in the trans megathread regularly, but have avoided it for a long time now because it is obvious from the posts many people make about their lives in there that they aren’t masking, and that lack of solidarity makes it clear that people like me aren’t welcome. It says to me that trans lives only matter if they aren’t immunocompromised or otherwise at risk, or if they can delude themselves into believing covid won’t harm them or the others around them. It says to me that a eugenicist mentality is acceptable here as long as you are passive about it. I single out /c/trans because it’s the community I cared the most about and feel the most betrayed by because of it, but this feeling extends to the rest of the site’s community as well. I pretty much only use this site now because it’s just about the only place to talk about video games on the internet that doesn’t tolerate nazis, otherwise I would have just left completely by now.

The normalization of ignoring covid and allowing everyone to be repeatedly infected, and the widespread death and disability resulting from it, is one of the most devastating forms of class warfare we face currently. To ignore it shows a complete lack of principles among the communists here, and I know they know better. I cannot take anyone seriously who tells me “a better world is possible” while languidly allowing this behavior to slide, when being cautious and protecting ourselves and each other is so much easier than any revolution will be.

I didn't know the goddess of hearths was on hexbear. Do we have a hearth?

I don’t do well with following megathreads, and unfortunately (for me, at least) it seems like it’s where most of the active people in the comm congregate. Maybe that’s just on me to fix, but I find myself looking elsewhere for discussions because it’s not a format I’ve managed to make work for me, and beyond the megathreads, most of the other content here is about mutual aid. It’s not like I’m contributing content myself though, so it doesn’t really feel like I have any right to complain.

We need more mods

I like it here :)
