Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.

Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.

According to this person "tankie" is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

As always, use dean-smile to vote for federation and dean-frown to vote for defederation.

dean-smile Is anyone actually bothered by these guys? They do more to show people how liberal foreign policy is just imperialism than I do.

I think we should absolutely draw the line at dm harassment after being banned from a single comm on top of all the bullshit from both of those users over the entire time we have been federated.

I think the thread linked is pretty damning on its own along with db0's long habit of getting into arguments like this.

Weak bullying from two users should cause the defederation of the whole instance? 🤔

Admins, not just users. I think the distinction matters

This has been a rolling issue for a couple months now, it isn't one isolated incident. They came out a hair ahead last time because they are a nominally anarchist instance, idk if that will be the case here.
