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 
to vote for federation and 
to vote for defederation.

It’s not just the misogynist and transphobic techbros or the godawful takes on foreign policy that are the problem here, the worst is what a bunch of disgusting bad faith debate perverts they are. I’ve always said fuck dbzer0, i continue to say it. Defed from these V*ushite mfers.
The only thing I ever saw from that instance was AI “art” and drama. Nothing of value.
I have !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !botart@lemmy.dbzer0.com blocked, it’s super easy to block specific things you don’t want to see
I have three of their comms blocked, the other one is !share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com, it just seems like whenever I see a db0 post its some AI art I have to block again. That’s all the “contribution” from db0 I see and weighed against the harrassment and hostility of their admins I didn’t see why federating with them would be worth it, but https://hexbear.net/comment/4894765 changed my mind.
@CARCOSA@hexbear.net I’d like to rescind my vote for defederating.
This shit ain’t that serious.
- ban the mods tho
- the continual chase to defederate every instance that isn’t run by a 100% ideologically pure Marxist leninist is soy af, besides a load of the dbzero users are cool. Like, what was even the point of federation if we’re going to defed one of the only other (at least nominally) left wing instances on lemmy
- I think banning problem users is always better than cutting off entire instances. I do feel guilty for the work it causes mods/admins.

I vote to remain federeated.
Can you just call it when federation hits 69?
ah fuck i just realized i cast my ballot wrong lmao
smdh liberal democracy has failed us
edit: changed my mind
Side note: is DM harassment, like, defined? Or is it a “know it when you see it” basis primarily? obviously it’s always gonna be case by case to some extent, but the posted screenshots just seem like an ongoing 2 way conversation that got heated. Not my first thought when I hear “DM harassment” personally, though I can see how it might fit
In this case someone got banned and immediately dm’d a mod calling them a pos
ohhhh I think I misread/interpreted due to the inbox ordering in the screenshots being top=newest. I thought it was an ongoing convo before that. now I see the removed comment that triggered the first message.
I don’t normally vote in these things but I think it would be pretty funny if we were federated with an instance where all the admins have a permanent ban. I don’t think the average user is too bad, just keep mr Divided By Zero and Jeff Bridges Avatar lib banned.
As a dbzero user, there is much cringe from this instance, but I agree this would be very funny. I have seen the admin posts downvoted even on dbzero comms ahah.
Make them defed from us. Lol
incase you’re auto counting
