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.

    The benefit here is that our presence in federation would also get the people behaving this way permabanned and act as a suppressing effect for that kind of behaviour - positively improving SJW

    let's be clear that this would be at the expense of trans comrades who may not be in the headspace to deal with harassment like this. if we're truly a place that values our queer comrades, this is 100% at odds with that
