I'm afraid the rhetoric pattern of "neg, victimhoood, authority" is not gonna work here.
Maybe that is closer to what Russian citizens/refugees are used to, or even need, and maybe that makes Hexbear useful... but it's far from the clearer dialectic that those already fed up with rhetoric would willingly engage with.
That means, any "investigation" is going to be limited to a cursory glance, checking the rules, and a few interactions like this one... after which, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... I like tangerine duck.(¹)
The saying is about China, which is friends with Russia right now, and is notoriously "non-vegan".
Overall, if what you're saying is that Hexbear is actually anti-Putin, and pro-idealized communism... cool, but it still doesn't look like it, whether that be by design or not.

[¹: This is actually true. I'm a "pragmatic" vegan in that I will pick vegan when given a choice, but also eat anything non-toxic, ranging from horse steak tartare, to bull testicles, century eggs, or tangerine duck.]
no, its just quite obvious you havent investigated, it is not 'negging', i am not giving you a compliment, and i am not manipulating you, i am simply suggesting you use your own two eyes to investigate something beyond a cursory glance. being someone with skin in the game and personal experience has nothing to do with a call to authority, i am explaining to you my history and viewpoints, which are relevant. and saying im acting like a victim makes you sound like a chud.
as you can see on our ongoing survey, which was done publicly, around half the site is trans. over half the moderation is trans. do you truly think that we're all in on putin, who labels transgender people as terrorists for existing?
are you trans yourself? im wondering what your personal experiences are
