Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

MODERATORS
 

db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.

Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.

According to this person "tankie" is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

Further context can be found in this thread

As always, use dean-smile to vote for federation and dean-frown to vote for defederation.

dean-smile

EDIT: changed my vote to stay, people here are right, banning the admins and then staying federated is a phenomenal bit.

lmao fuck em. Anyways, for anyone who wants context on the dm harassment stuff, here is our lovely convo.

The last post came in right before they were banned. I don't know if any response would go through, and frankly I don't care to continue the conversations.

Also, the operandi thing was very much to tilt them. Anyone who has seen me type here knows I physically cannot type "you", it only comes out as "oyu".

Further also, they edited their second comment:

The link is to here. No idea what doomtown is, but the card art is neat. The pfp still looks like linkara trying to trike a pose. Anyone who wishes to continue mocking that pfp, go here.

I've had runins with unruffled (critical levels of ruffled) before. I find them both distasteful. There are a handful of db0 users I like. They are welcome to migrate here, or to any of the instances still federated with us. The rest of them, mao-wave

Also unruffled defended a zionist and said "from the river to the sea" is antisemitic

If you want to talk politics, you’re gonna have to accept the fact that people will have different opions. This isn’t hexbear where everyone with a different view is instabanned. I get that emotions are running high over the situation in Gaza, but try to respond in good faith instead of leaping to the most uncharitable interpretation possible

It seems to me that you are the only person badjacketing in this post. If you think it’s a good policy to ban fellow anarchists for having a nuanced view on the Gaza situation, then you might want to check out hexbear - intolerant authoritarianism is their whole vibe.

Anarchism is when you have a nuanced view on genocide. Not having a nuanced view on genocide is authoritian and bad. maybe-later-honey

Politics is about being unemotional and never becoming too invested in any given subject, and the more detached and ineffective your engagement in politics is, the more correct you are.

I keep forgetting which book it's in but clearly anarchism is all about enlightened centrism.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Well that's pretty much immediatly damning.

Unrelated note but the UI is so challenging on the eyes. Why would they have a floating design with a eye-watering background image?

We are going to be saving Dbzero members who move to ml or hexbear from this awful UI.

But also how dare you interpret me uncharitably, don't you red fash authoritarian commie fucks understand that respect is a two way street and you OWE me a baseline of charitable interpretation?peppino-angry

I don't know what you're talking about. Clearly spamming the mods and calling them scum-fucks will create a situation where you will be unbanned and all of Hexbear will come to your defense!

This is some genuinely unhinged stuff.
