What was particularly sad this time was that the mods here, instead of deleting the abusive comments which I reported several times, decided instead to remove the whole post altogether while those comments themselves were never touched. So, not only the reporting option became pointless, but it also removed (in my opinion) a nice conversation on the topic. In the mod log they wrote ‘reason: Troll bait’ for why the post was removed, but I find…let’s say very coincidental that every time a discussion about Hexbear (which might start very calmly at first) has then to be locked or deleted because of the trolling.

I am almost certain that the post was removed by one of the admins on Hexbear. See their modlog: hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&userId=172774. They removed almost all comments made by @comr@hexbear.net, banned him, and removed the post.
