there’s a lot of random funny hexbear lore out there, like rock stacking, but that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m more asking about the really huge stuff, like the transphobe purging or the r/vcj onboarding that apparently almost ended the site. has anyone done any good writeups on those? really hoping for one about the r/vcj onboarding but I’ll take any i can get my hands on
One surviving 18-months-later post from one of the /c/vegan mods who quit (not a neutral write-up, but since the thread wasn’t locked / removed and is one of the top all-time posts on /c/vegan I hope it’s okay to link)
yes I’ve read that post, that’s what I’m referring to with the dooming, I assumed this was in the middle of the worst of it, but from my perspective it seems like most of the site’s vegans ended up feeling like the site was in a better spot? or was this a post mortem on everything that went down? at least that’s been my impression, i constantly see pro vegan comments and you have to cw pics of animal products and what not so if it was after everything went down I’m not sure what the poster meant by “The draconian measures against talk of veganism never went away.”
This was a post-mortem, from someone who had originally left the site during the struggle session, so it’s a weird thread in that the post is from someone with still-raw wounds and the comments are from people who had experienced the evolution of the site since that time.
ahhh i see that explains it although there is an interaction between a former admin and a couple vegans where they’re still talking like you cant talk about veganism on the rest of the site
