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.

    But a lot of people aren't fully conscious. They are coasting through life without understanding ideology. They are political non-participants.

    this is a reactionary way of describing the lack of political consciousness. they are fully aware, they're just stewing in false consciousness. it's important not to confuse that with an actually degrade state of consciousness.

      I fundamentally disagree. Most of them don't have false consciousness. False consciousness is a concrete and describable thing. It is an absence of any consciousness, they default to the status quo and vote every few years but otherwise neither follow politics nor really care a great deal, generally because they're comfortable.
