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.

    Finally, now that we have federated, we can perform the most important work of communism: cutting ties with other organizations

      It won't be true leftism until we defederate from lemmygrad over some petty squabble. I wonder what their stance on outdoor cats is..

        In seriousness, the only cross site struggle session I could see blowing up enough for that is the position on sex work (very very unlikely tho tbh)

      i would suggest an airlock instance or militant wing of hexbear that is able to post aggressively on all the other instances but that basically reduces down to having a lemmy.ml alt account
