Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca regarding potential refederation. Lemmy.ca had added hexbear to their blocklist about a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/3326347

With the recent changes in lemmy features as well as a maturing fediverse the mods/admins of hexbear and lemmy.ca are open to trying again, but before we put lemmy.ca on our allow-list we wanted to open up discussion and voting to the users of hexbear.

This vote will be binding with regard to adding lemmy.ca to our allow-list. In addition, the idea of including sh.itjust.works in this discussion was raised but was voted down by a majority of mods from inclusion.

https://lemmy.ca/c/canada and https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming are the instance's top two communities but there are a few other small, niche communities. A community that may be removed from hexbear is the https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore so please indicate your opinion on this community if you have one.

As usual please use

dean-smile if you would like lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list

dean-frown if you would like lemmy.ca to not be added to our allow-list

We will leave this post unlocked for a few days before making the decision, thank you. Users may also use this post for a general discussion on federation including naming instances for federation/defederation or feedback for the hexbear admin/mod team.

    Hexbear users aren’t leftists, they’re radical centrists. Preach the virtues of communism while attacking people for being communists. Speak up about the genocide in Palestine while denying the genocide in China. Support capitalist Russia and Imperialist Putin in the name of anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism. Preach the values of queer acceptance while harassing people for being trans. Every good opinion they have is tainted by acting the exact opposite way the next day. They claim to be leftists, but 50% of the time their actions are the actions of fascists.

    I think there's some tagline potential in here somewhere.

      over/under on the people being attacked for being "communists" advocated voting for joe biden and then kamala harris?

      Preach the values of queer acceptance while harassing people for being trans.

      I... huh??? that liberal went from lying and accusing hexbear users of pretending to being trans to accusing them/us of being outright transphobes? what-the-hell

        Even weirder, the user that posted this accusation, hasn't even interacted with Hexbear, no comments, no posts, nothing.

          many such cases

          if I'm giving the benefit of the doubt it's only a 3 month old account so they could be from a different instance but they are a lying liberal so I wont

          (also unironically i think the attacking "communists" accusation literally is because of attacking blue no matter who rhetoric lmaooooooooo https://lemmy.ca/post/25784829)

          that user has been shitting up instances for months, including ours. Look at their blahaj contributions if you can. Do not engage
