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.

Even the 1800s and 1900s communists were using "the masses" and implying a significant difference existed between the politically active of the party and the reactionaries compared to the politically inactive of "the masses". I suppose you could use this today but it's not as obvious when you have the very specific intent of communicating about others as politically deactivated vs politically activated.
