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-smile Overwhelming majority of their users are fine, so I feel it’s worth just banning the handful of assholes, even if that includes their admins.

      It would be kinda funny to be federated with an instance where all the admins are actually banned. It’s like China sanctioning US officials and their families but allowing ordinary US citizens in.

    I’m recusing myself because i never wanted to federate in the first place but why do people think coming here and arguing that we’re red fash tankies is a good use of their time?

      None of this is a good use of anyone’s time. I just don’t like when people come in very obviously mask-on pretend that our particular way of wasting time is more dumb than theirs, and that we are stupid. It’s all dumb. Posting is dumb. If you’re gonna be a smug little prick about it then I am going to poke you until you mask-off.

      This wasn’t even challenging, he is such a liberal literal control freak that he thinks he can dictate the rules of another forum, I didn’t even have to report him myself. He literally hung himself within a couple posts.

      In fairness the same could be said about the vast amount of posting on any site, including Hexbear. It’s just a specific flavor of the worms in all our brains.

    Since I’m tankie-adjacent (meaningless term, more lore in the original post) and had to do with the affair I’ll just voice my opinion: I’ve seen many good people coming from that instance, both on hexbear and outside hexbear, some of them even comrades. Punishing them for the actions of their mod team seems a bit too much to me. The offenders have (rightfully) been banned from this instance, and on the rare occasion a wandering lib will post on here we can all PPB them, I’ll join too.

    Also, semi-related but I love how just by shitposting on a piracy community I caused an inter-instance diplomatic crisis and had 2 (PoS) admins banned, lol wasn’t my intention but I’m glad they showed their true self, so to say.

    Edit: also remaining federated while having the admins banned is such a power move lol, “hate da gubmyent not da paypoohl” but for real this time

    I’m not gonna vote unless there’s a definitive statement on whether or not we will have a Piracy comm - but I feel like it is also worth asking, what exactly would be the point of defederation if you’ve literally banned both bad actors already?? I get the whole ‘communities tend to be like their admins’ take but in general I think defederation is whack because it causes me to be forced to see more dunk tank posts… shulk-its-over

    Keep them around but their admins are the most online dorks I’ve ever encountered. Complete basement dweller nerd stereotypes and every interaction I’ve seen with them has been unbearable.
