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 agree in theory it is impossible to make any headway when the mods are anti-communists who are actively banning good faith discussion because they are ideologically opposed.
There will be plenty of users over there looking at the Modlog and asking "Why was that removed?" I think their heavy handed censorship will likely undo the whole instance over time.
