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

      Am I going to cop a ban for these comments now?

      Hopefully. This is reactionary liberal bullshit. What’s next, you gonna get mad someone on Mutal Aid has a smartphone?

        Yeah fair. No investigation, no right to speak. I took that comment stating they asked for the money for a car then spent it all on drugs at face value and didn’t investigate further. Now that I’ve seen the real story my comments are awful

            That’s not what I said. The comment I was replying to (incorrectly) stated they had lied by requesting the money for car repairs then spent it on drugs.

            My issue was with the lie itself (that didn’t actually happen).
