It seems to really have alienated a number of people and prevented them from posting. This is a great shame because I felt that hexbears’s momentum and place of online leftism was really starting to shine in the days after the election. This is the most important time for there to be an alternative on the left and we’re wasting it, with what appears to be the start of another struggle session caused by mods unilaterally deciding things.
I don’t really have a solution or more to say, more just this dump of feelings
I think we were bound to get a lull after the election madness and the multiple-month crescendo of bullshit. people are partly recovering from that
I firmly believe with zero evidence that post-election weariness and anger caused the struggle session. Tensions were high.
