Due to recent events and the discussion in the Amendments to the Code of Conduct post we are suspending provisional amendments to the Code of Conduct in specific regard to federation. As we continue to find our footing we may discuss this again.
The rule change in !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net prohibiting named posts of Admins and Moderators as well as direct links posts will remain for now.
Despite the suspension of the amendments, I encourage everyone to treat other others with good-faith unless they show otherwise, show considerable restraint in instance's meta posts, and abide by meta community post's requests to center discussion on local users.
Reminder that you must follow Hexbear and federated instances codes of conduct and posted sidebar rules for communities.
You may use this post to discuss further if you wish to
if there is an instance with those sorts of people in it, it should be defederated. dunking on instances we're not federated with is fine. "social consequence" -- we're not gonna be the cops of lemmy. If we're federated, there are going to be parts that are cringe. Hexbear can be focused on hexbear, and people who want to be active in other communities can engage with them individually.
