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.

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

Instance infighting over a user getting banned for a cringe unfunny meme.

Seems pretty cringe to me

It's not infighting if it's between two different things.

I mean the lemmyverse as the whole

Yeah, fuck them too though even if I wasn't of a certain mindset that place is insufferable

The lemmyverse and hexbear are two separate things.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hexbear is a part of a single whole idk what's hard to accept about that.

Hexbear was a separate website for years before we federated. We're attached but separate.

The post seems to mainly be over DM harrasment, Eugene
