hexbear

I'm down to give it another shot with them. I fully expect this to end in defederation though. That place is full of the usual mug russian propaganda muh election muh civility crap. But they deserve better than being dominated by .world forever.

as of time of posting, my vote count is: 27 for | 8 against (this includes me)

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

Canadians cannot be trusted, they'll apologize just because it gets them off.

Ready for more ppb I see

I think we can take this down tbh considering their admin threw in the towel already

But it would have been funny

I would like to officially abstain

i love california!

we need more site taglines

because us being on a recent enough Lemmy version means that

• Hexbear or Lemmy.ca can defederate from a specific community if federating with that community becomes a problem
• Hexbear has already made some communities local-only, which makes those communities unaffected by federating

Don't Canadians praise Nazis?

Sure, why not. Shit.just.works can stay away, though.

I'm neutral - I tend to browse mostly Local anyway. Too many unfunny memes when I get off Hexbear

If this is a representative of the average poster in .ca, I don't think Refed will end well.

KKKlanada's largest impact on American culture is a parody song by Weird Al.

not voting but lemmy.ca has a thread on this and after flipping through it there is no way that this federation won't end with another defederation. Hexbear gets almost NINE TIMES as many comments per day as lemmy.ca does.

Nine times?

Nine times.

The instant one of their posts hits Hexbear's /all feed, especially if it's about any political topic, there will be a shitshow. HB will be accused of brigading, .ca will be called fascists, and the mods and admins of both sites will have to work overtime to limit the damage until one side finally blocks the other again.

lemmy.ca is full of typical reddit users, ie. a shitload of landlords and landlord-sympathizers

normally I wouldn't want to associate with such people, but this is exactly the place to post "fuck landlords" at them so

Do we have any reason to believe they've improved?

Kkkanadians stay losing lmao

Maple syrup for the maple syrup gods

It won't last, but I say refederate with .ca. Make them show their ass and be the ones to defederate from us for obviously bullshit, turbolib lemmitor reasons. Maybe we'll peel off some of the few leftists who've found themselves stuck there.

Generally, more federation = more good

They host a harassment community called !fediverselore@lemmy.ca and removing them from federation made my instance a better place. I am not an official hexbear so I will not frowny them

Death to Canada

Always happy to fed where it looks plausible we might get by happily enough. If not, we just de-fed again in a week after a day's drama, no biggie.

seeing the threads there made me realise just how misunderstood you all are by the other instances. i think atp i interact here more than my own instance

:dean-smile:

My app doesn't support emoji 🫠

Is lemmy.ca also running a vote for refederation, or just us? I'm not sure they'd like us rejoining so tbh I'd rather keep it as

I wasn't going to vote but the lemmy.ca post about the refederation that's quoting our illustrious ursine comments from this post has convinced me...
