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.

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.

dean-frown

There are a lot of cool dbzer0 users who I'd rather we not kick out, but attempting to stay federated just for them is futile if their admins are no longer willing to act in good faith with us.

But also we should have our own piracy comm if there are comrades here willing to volunteer their time to moderate it. Can't see it being any more of a risk than our new drugs comm

Even worse, the catalyst (this time) was a .ml user being accused of being a tankie and summarily removed without warning.

It literally didn't involve us, but said db0 powermod is an actively "anti authoritarian anarchist" so it's assumed that they don't like us and probably won't interact in good faith with us if at all.
