Hello users of hexbear:

Due to recent meta posts in our mutual aid community we wanted to open up discussion about the community !mutual_aid@hexbear.net

We will never require explanation or justification from a user asking for aid in the community, and the mod and admin team continue to commit to not featuring an individual’s mutual aid request to prevent unfair exposure.

In addition, we will maintain a strict “No critical comments or meta comments” on a mutual aid post.

This post is to discuss the mutual aid community’s rule of allowing meta posts: mutual aid as a community, those making posts in it and those commenting on posts.

We are considering removing the exception allowing meta posts but wanted to involve the userbase before committing to a change.

Please comment with any thoughts, feelings, or suggestions regarding this change.

Thank you

    No that’s total fucking cope lol.

    Me saying that I would rather my limited money for charity go to feeding somebody in need rather than someone using it for recreational drugs is not a sign that I have an ego problem.

      I’m not saying you have an ego problem. I’m saying charity/mutual aid is a selfless act and being judgemental is not selfless.

      You’re nowhere near an ego problem. An ego problem is more like you wouldn’t donate to charity until you had a 9 figure net worth based on you inventing inventing something like a toothpaste lid and you’d start a small charitable foundation which is just make work job / capitalist training camp for every one of your kids.

        I am genuinely not being judgemental I’m just trying to make sure the limited resources do the maximum amount of good.
