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.
:07:
I'm going to out myself as someone who thought that the funny dunks would be funny and cool, but hearing the concerns of other users here about abusive behavior I'm doing a self crit and saying that I was wrong.
Self crit is actually ruzzian disinformation and a whataboutism. Sorry, I don't make the rules(-based international order).
whatsamaddaism 🤌
ayyy

ok sorry i didn't know
I understand. Do three Hail Clintons and all your sins will be forgiven when Her Blessed Turn finally arrives.
no thank you
I was ambivalent about it "How bad can one more instance of chuds be?" but it's definitely upped the anxiety I used to get from :reddit-logo: of constantly arguing with people.
The main difference is that this was probably the most reactionary instance we had federated thus far.

that place is much smaller and they don't post nearly as much. also, they don't DM nasty shit to vulnerable people. but yes, the pure concentrated hacker news energy emanating from that place is odious.
This is an important point. Thanks for commenting that comrade.

NGL, the mod log has been rough lately.
federating the modlogs and its consequences
It's the fundamental tension between being a safe space and an offensive space.
I was honestly the same
god those people were like twitter chuds
Me too. I have been maybe too conciliatory and forgiving of the stuff these reddit-brained users from other instances can do and say.
