I think everyone who's been here more than a week or two has had multiple negative interactions with them.

Awful, reactionary posters. We might as well start advertising on red website if we stay fedded with them.

    They have some bad posters and some good ones too. Mostly disagree on defedding this one.

    I am curious to see if all the Hexbears that never post come out in full force for defederation here like they did last time. Lots of folks in that thread all doom and gloom about how if we don't defed they'll never post again. So we did. And most of them never posted again anyway. Curious to see if suddenly they'll all come back for this conversation too.

      I usually don't reply to these threads because I don't really have a strong opinion, but it sounds like maybe there needs to be some shrugs to help outweigh the defed vote.

      I agree that they shouldn't be defedded, but I disagree with your statement on the people opposed to federation. Lurkers' experience matters just as much as posters', and the site dies without either. I believe the threat was always that they'd stop using the site, not so much that they'd stop posting.

          They are where the majority of votes come from, not to mention that if you take a histogram of how many of the total share of comments are made by what % of users, even though the top 10% of commenters will have made the majority of comments, the site really needs those people that make occasional contributions.
