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.

Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca regarding potential refederation. Lemmy.ca had added hexbear to their blocklist about a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/3326347

With the recent changes in lemmy features as well as a maturing fediverse the mods/admins of hexbear and lemmy.ca are open to trying again, but before we put lemmy.ca on our allow-list we wanted to open up discussion and voting to the users of hexbear.

This vote will be binding with regard to adding lemmy.ca to our allow-list. In addition, the idea of including sh.itjust.works in this discussion was raised but was voted down by a majority of mods from inclusion.

https://lemmy.ca/c/canada and https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming are the instance's top two communities but there are a few other small, niche communities. A community that may be removed from hexbear is the https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore so please indicate your opinion on this community if you have one.

As usual please use

dean-smile if you would like lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list

dean-frown if you would like lemmy.ca to not be added to our allow-list

We will leave this post unlocked for a few days before making the decision, thank you. Users may also use this post for a general discussion on federation including naming instances for federation/defederation or feedback for the hexbear admin/mod team.

as long as .ca understands nothing will fundamentally change from the hexbear population.

I don’t think we should ever re-fed in bad faith or because it would be funny. If we know it won’t work, then we shouldn’t do it. But my hope here is that .ca has shed some of its former redditiness and is more willing to talk to non-liberals.

If they punt all the ukronazis out of their govenrment and stop making war on the first natioons i promise to be civil.

Is America much different? I would rather not be associated with my government's actions and I'm sure plenty of Canadians feel the same

that site has like 20 daily users, i dont think we’ll even notice they’re federated unless a hapless lib accidently steps in it.

If we do refederate, can each community display each other's code of conduct for around a week before actually federating? They need to understand their reddit liberalism isn't acceptable in this corner.

From what I've seen, the .ca has a lot of reactionary posters.

What's the point of being online if people aren't even seeing the propaganda we post dean-smile

https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore ban this from Hexbear if ca gets federated. Spaces exclusively about internet drama are bad for the soul

[–] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Our glorious the_dunk_tank, their wicked fediverselore (not saying you're wrong though).

I think the ideal situation is federating with as many places as possible (with exceptions for nazis and such ofc) but very loosely pressing the ban button, like how the dbzero mods are banned here but not the instance itself. I know that creates more work for the mods though, but since ya'll suggested it, I assume you considered that.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

peltier-laugh fuckin love the dbzero mods gettin banned

I think it's funny that by getting lemmy.ca domain this website represents all of kkkanada in the lemmyverse. knowing kkkanadians i bet that weighs heavily on the maintainers. they perhaps even wish to subdue and recuperate hexbear on behalf of liberalism.

Excuse me, but it's KKKlanada

Uhh sure, we can give it a go. But based on last experience I don't think their userbase is going to handle it well

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Their userbase seems to mostly be landlords so yeah...

dean-frown No. They have us blocked. Imagine we allow-list them again and they don't even unblock us. That's humiliating. You can't make her think you're desperate. Don't call your ex. What was I talking about?

I have some scathing (but truthful) things to say to the official NDP community over there.

(note: I post on their Reddit community, also being a fly in the soup on occasion.)

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

dean-smile but honestly I never look at All. So I'll only see the occasional wanderer in and the occasional comrade

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca

Are they still gonna be mad if someone calls for death of landlords?

[–] Luna@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

Specific communities can be blocked if necessary, but overall I feel like more people seeing Hexbear is a good thing.
