Greetings gamers and those who wisely abstain,

It has become clear to us that even in the short while we’ve federated, the situation with sh.itholefor.nazis is entirely untenable and we will be defederating immediately. Multiple instances of ableist and homophobic slurs directed at our users, overwhelming litigiousness against even the most innocuous comments by our users, and just a general ethos of reactionary behavior. We’re done and out.

One of the concerns with embracing TC69 thought on site bans with federation is that the user would basically be just hexbear-side hidden and blocked from our comms, free to post reactionary content without the fear of Lenin behind them. That was a silly concern. We will resume our pre-federation policies regarding site bans.

        Yeah, pawb.social (furry instance) defederated from us. We didn't even have issues, I think it was preemptive :(

        This was is a tool we used can use to check on this. I'm not sure if it's in working order right now as it gives me a 500 internal error.

        Hold onto it, just in case.

        Edit: It works, just had to remove the "=" from the end of the URL.
