    Can you point to some specific time that Hexbear’s mod team or admin team should have banned someone or removed their comments for ableism and didn’t?

        Scrolled through the modlog. The only one I found (and maybe there’s more, I had to go through a few pages) was Professor Owl, who was arguing with db0 after db0 said the reason they posted bait then ran away by telling everyone with solid arguments to disengage was their autism. That’s not something autism makes you do. I can see the “arguing compulsively” part, but the whole “running away and telling everyone that shows up with actual evidence against my claims to shut up” is not autism, it’s just cowardice.

        Edit: just to spell it out: Arguing compulsively as a result of your autism is fine. It’s something I experience, too. I totally sympathize. But when people show you evidence that you’re wrong, the correct thing to do (ND or NT doesn’t matter) is to change your views. If you’re stubborn to the point that you’d rather humiliate yourself by spamming “disengage” after starting a million arguments, you’re gonna get laughed at. Just admit that you made an incorrect claim, it won’t kill you.

          The fifth upvoted hexbear promoting ableism and denigrating the disengage rule. Great showing of their supposed intolerance of ableism, for sure.

          And this is after I painstakingly explained to this person why this is ableist to the point where they had nothing more to say. So instead they just repeated their made-up assumptions elsewhere, going directly against what I explained I was doing, because it just wouldn’t be hexbear if bad faith wasn’t the modus operanti.

        here’s all the results for “ableism” inside that comm. Many of them are from a 10 month old thread where the OP is no longer visible. I guess it’s possible that the ableism referenced is coming from someone aligned with Hexbear or Lemmygrad, but it seems more likely that they’re just discussing ableism pretty generally.

        Can you provide an example, if that comm really is full of them elsewhere?
