I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
It's kinda wild the things they'll make up or twist about Hexbear while allowing this sort of thing on their own instance. I'm becoming more in favor of defederation by the day. Our admins and mods worked swiftly to fix the issues we were causing. I've seen ableist and transphobic things coming from that instance and the most they get is a removed comment. Never bans.
If we do defed I think it's important to state that it's because of the bigotry.
Mind you that will probably just get the "Oh? The RED FASH are concerned about bigotry when they support [insert thing we don't support here]. Aww I feel so bad! Anyway..."
Who fucking cares. They can winge all they want we know we are right. They can all go fuck themselves.
Damn right.
