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.

    While I somewhat agree with you, it's actually their thing to assume people that disagree with them "aren't fully conscious." It seems like the ideological cousin of deciding who is "human" and who is "subhuman."

    It's a group that is worth talking about and having a word for. Whether you want to make up a new word for them or not I don't care but I won't pretend it's not useful to be able to discuss them.

    I suppose I critically support culture-jamming the concept so it doesn't become their exclusive rhetorical weapon but I still don't like how it tends to cut.
