First a call-out of fatphobia (https://hexbear.net/post/4189552) that ended up proving its point, then the stuff about "he/hims" (https://hexbear.net/post/4187781) ". Apparently a mod got banned!?
I am not very active and I never look at the megathreads, the number of comments in them scare me away from them. Is that where it's happening? I feel confused about what this community is like now.
I, uh, don't really know what my point is. Maybe someone can explain what the state of the site is? Especially on the he/hims thing. Maybe that's the main point of this post.
I feel sad for people that got hurt by this.
I could be wrong; I often am. The deletion of CarlMarks' post does fit with my feeling that moderation has been recently used to "win" (possibly not the right word) arguments, with the modlog reasons being final points that are impossible to respond to. Having been part of forum and chat mod teams in the past, this is a very familiar feeling.
