Is this appropriate behavior for your instance?
Posting on hexbear.net this is the twelfth kind of liberalism.

Kinda gross that a genocide denier is manipulating young people to also deny genocide on the db0 matrix.


I’m so sorry that happened to you, maybe send them a picture of your sheriff’s star to convince them to unban you.


Huge thanks to all the developers!


Welcome, hope you are doing ok, you mentioned making a post asking for aid. You are welcome to use !mutual_aid@hexbear.net if you ever need to.


I really like this and will likely repost this as a community pin in hexbear. We often discuss the meeting agends / proposal in the mod chat to make sure the phrasing is agreed on by the entire team, however I’m happy to open that up to the site. After the feedback post / meeting is it intended to have a follow-up post for the actual changes discussed in the meeting? Are the same formatting and requirements applied to that post as well?
As an example a few days before a post where specific changes are made to the code of conduct a meeting post is made where the scope of that changes are laid out as well as some proposed changes / discussion about the changes occurs. After the meeting post there is a post where the code of conduct changes are listed and the users can vote on it?
Thank you, I’ll come back and reread this and edit this comment with any additional questions.


The problem is there are many comments expressing their emotion but there is not many ideas for concrete change. This is now the forth post discussing this, after the initial post, a post made by hellinkilla, the post for the EMPOC community, and now this one. From all these posts what changes could be made? I will remove inactive mods, we have a very diverse admin team with multiple admins directly nominated by the EMPOC community over a year ago. We have committed to having more meta posts to engage the community in changes, we discuss every site-ban and often correct error in moderation. We genuinely want to engage in good faith and with the most charitable interpretation of the community.


Thank you for your work


Thank you for your hard work!


Unfortunately the modlog is so busy and full of activity I don’t have the time or focus to wade through it at this time but if you could provide more specific examples I’ll talk them out with you.
Again this is why our standard practice is to defer community level moderation to that community’s moderators. I’ve also told you this many times before but you really should make an alt to post/comment with while reserving this account for admin-level engagement.
That’s fine you don’t need to interact any more I’ll go ahead and lock this post. Did you not assume bad-faith when you posted the meme in the first place? I would say you and your fellow instance users laughing about the comment section indicates a lack of good-faith.
It isn’t invading when a post reaches 
I apologize for not locking it sooner, but I still don’t understand how you are being gaslit. It is true you did not disengage in advance, as if you had included your intent to not engage in argument within the post body, locked the post yourself, requested a hexbear admin to lock the post, or changed the community to local only then you would be disengaging in advance as well as exercising your coping mechanisms in a proactive way.
You are aware of your own compulsions, you are aware of hexbear, you are aware of the impact the post would have and yet you did not do anything until the large amount of hexbear activity began after the post reached the top of the active/all post sort.
When that started you again did not do anything other than individually disengage from users that presented arguments you weren’t prepared to discuss despite the availability of mod tools that would have coped with your compulsion as well as limited the post’s activity.
I don’t dispute that it’s your space but I do dispute the claim of ableism because you were not targeted or discriminated against for your condition, another neurodiverse person called you out for using your neurodiversity as a shield when you have ample means by which to proactively protect yourself and yet you choose not to use them so that you could have fun riling up Hexbear.
You claimed as much regarding your comment about making similar posts about liberals however since .worlders did not come with concrete, evidence based arguments you did not feel the need to use your coping mechanisms.
ProfesserOwl is not questioning your neurodiversity or your coping mechanisms they are calling you out for excusing your behavior with your neurodiversity.
Ableism would have been to dismiss your arguements as false due to your neurodiversity, instead the commenters engaged with the content of your post and comments. Not one single hexbear has stated you are inferior for being neurodiverse or requiring coping mechanisms for your compulsions. You were called out for being disingenuous with your intent by appearing to be open to discussion but in reality were just wanting to shitpost.
Since you were also engaged in heated, hostile, sectarian arguments it is understandable that those who you were arguing with would return such sentiment. The commenters in the post are engaging with the content of the original post as well as the comments, they are not attacking Autism.
Continuing to engage in self-harming behaviors in the name of neurodiversity does an incredible disservice to neurodivergent people.
As an admin and moderator requires conducting oneself civilly and with dignity which entails not using one’s condition as a shield from accountability, making excuses based on a diagnosis when the individual is able to control patterns both enables misconduct and compounds marginalization and taking ownership of their conduct if they are mentally, emotionally, and physically able.
Difficulty regulating certain behaviors may be a condition, but it does not excuse harming others. This post was made with the explicit intent of harming those who do not fit your idea of what a leftist is and what followed was when you received pushback


I don’t see any reports of ableism, and I don’t know what you mean about passive aggressive notes? I have difficulty parsing tone over text but if you could be more clear I would appreciate it
I’m trying to work with you here but you aren’t giving me anything to work with. I tried to read through the 400+ comments but my ADHD is really giving me a hard time with the walls of text.
On hexbear we focus on a horizontal approach to moderation by empowering community moderators to handle their communities leaving admins to deal with site-wide problems. If you don’t have enough moderators in this community to handle it without causing yourself mental distress then I would suggest you adding more moderators.
Would you like me to lock this post from hexbear’s side now? Last time I did it I received snark from the db0 mod team so thought that you wanted them left open but now that I know how much stress it is causing you I am reconsidering.


Just for my own record I’ve started reading the post, I’ve come across you insulting someone’s reading comprehension which is ableist against those with dyslexia, insulting someone’s inability to read the room which is ableist against those with autism.
Again I’m sorry this has been such a stressful post for you, and I’m more than happy to work with you by using our admin and moderator tools to aid you in curating an online experience that is pleasing and relaxing


Did you report the ableism? Also if you are compelled to make a bait post but don’t want to argue you can ping me and I will kindly use my admin powers to lock the post from the hexbear side allowing you to have a meme echo chamber ❤


i usually lock these posts as they are sectarian but this one made it through my oppressive, authoritarian panopticon also known as my unhealthy amount of time on hexbear


oh, I’m sorry you are so upset but I promise I won’t ban you or irelephant for your ignorance.


Wow! Where does the time go?


Which one is that?
