No commentary here. I just think we should find more comrades and bring them into our fold. How do we do it? Post your ideas, no matter how wild. Maybe someone will see it and get inspired and make something happen.

You can not say this anymore. This was the purpose of the federation.

And federation did cause growth. When Lemmy was growing. Lemmy is not growing either anymore, because Lemmy is not talking about outside of Lemmy.

The federation was supposed to make Hexbear talked about outside of Hexbear. What happened after the federation? Droves of users went to other instances and posted PPB until other instances chose to Defederate.

I can't take this seriously. You can't believe that was the reason, you just can't. The reason was ideological, not based on behaviour that is easily managed with a ban.

If you're not going to recognise this in your next reply and roll back I'm tossing this whole conversation in the trash and accepting that it was a complete waste of my time because this is just nonsense bad faith shit.
