If so, was it polled somewhere?

Sucks for you guys. They caused nothing but trouble when they were still federated with Blahaj.

After so many of us complained about how they were being dicks and many on the instance weren't feeling comfortable, hexbear decided to defederate from us first since they somehow said it wasn't safe for their LGBT members to be on it.

Funny enough a few days later a new account started posting across different lemmy instances for days about how the Blahaj instance was anti trans and that the admin was too. Our Admin is openly trans :/

The whole argument started because the user said everything had to be political and wouldn't stop insulting others who said they didn't want to have every post on Blahaj to turn political.

It was just too perfect timing how a few days after hexbear defedarated for somehow saying the pro LGBT instance was anti-LGBT, that we got a brand new account attacking trans members while sayin they were anti-trans.

Enjoy your new people.

Isn't at leat one of the admins there trans? Basic fact checking, people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah the Blahaj admin they accused of being anti-trans was trans. They knew this too. The admin has talked to them in the original post that started it all and told the troll they were trans.

The user 100% did it on purpose to insult the Blahaj admin and to then go across all of Lemmy and post how they were anti trans.

I also saw that same user tag a Lemmy.world admin to tell them to ban a trans Blahaj user for being a chaser. Then the Blahaj user got banned even though nobody was commenting on a lemmy.world post. If you wanna read that long story then click this link to my other comment here. The 2nd half of my comment there is that long story.

Yes and its very very annoying.

I don't mind the general hexbear ideology in itself. Sure. You do you.

But, damn, I see more than a few of its members just being obnoxious.

Lol I blocked the most annoying posters from hexbear on this thread and now there's hardly any comments. I think we should put them in time out. Like defederate for 15 days. if they keep brigading, another 15 days. I don't really want to defederate, but I hate this kind of brigading.

I appear to be out of the loop. What's wrong with hexbear? I'm not familiar with the instance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

They're just an annoying bunch of wannabe communists who sound incredibly smug and post a ton of stickers in comments. Having said that I've moved to lemm.ee when lemmy.world defeterated from hexbear.

This is such bullshit. Just saw the announcement that we aren't going to defederate from hexbear. Why weren't we given a say in this?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The announcement didn't say that we weren't going to defederate. It said in the immediate future. If this proves to be untenable, we will have a vote.

Don't you think their behaviour in this very thread is very clear evidence that your beliefs that they are a "positive for this society" is completely unfounded?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think some of them are okay and some of them suck. Much like our own users.

There is clear evidence of that fact throughout this thread.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

but if the majority of users are saying they don't want hexbear to be federated with this instance, you'd respect the users. right? 😥

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Of course. I simply figured that in order to decide whether or not we want to be federated, we would first have to experience what federation was like. That appears to be a very controversial assumption, but I stand by it.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Thankfully. Y'all can seeth, I'm here for it.

Go to hexbear if you want their BS.
