hexbear

Seeing as the feddit moderation team's policies clearly do not along with our own stances

lmao spelling mistake

would be very funny imo

Send a fucking message

There is something wrong with average angloids at UK both real life and online that are loud with respect to their transphobia when even comparing to north america from what I noticed.

I'm trans; I say fuck 'em

Tolerance of intolerance, etc.

ukkk just because I almost never see a good take from feddit.uk users anyway. The good ones can or should just join Hexbear anyway, or Lemmygrad if they want more federation

ukkk is yuk

I don't think I've ever interacted with anyone from fedddit. What communities do they have?

Not voting either way here. But I'm further of the opinion that we are still attempting to compromise by having two mutually exclusive goals in one instance - Propagandising libs and having a safe space for our comrades. Achieving both on the same site doesn't really seem possible.

I think maintaining the ability for people here to agitate there is important.

defed gang keeps winning uphold socialism in one lenmy thought

I actually wanted to title my post "We need to defederate from Feddit." But I was a little baby coward and felt bad.

Deeper Thoughts

I, personally, prefer , because I think opportunities to educate are good and, when they fail, bullying is fun. And, the less of the fediverse we connect with, the more bigotry is allowed to fester.

But, is probably the healthy direction for our corner of the fediverse. I want my comrades to feel safe and supported. I think that "we gotta consider how to interpret blatant government transphobia" is a disgusting response from the mods, and that attitude is rapidly gonna turn feddit into another nazi bar. While we can engage and oppose bigots, we cannot change another site's culture when it's being poisoned from the top. The dbzero move was funny, and correct, because that instance has an anarchist tendency, and their userbase's interests overlap with the hexbear mission. A site with an identity based on geographic happenstance does not share that overlap.

spoiler Deeper spicy problematic thoughts Honestly, props to . I kinda want to refederate with them; give us a fresh batch of libs to spar with, encourage them to chase the chasers out, show their trans and anarchist users what real (as in honest, not as in world) solidarity can look and feel like. They like giving tankies shit, we like giving libs shit; but I think given the political realities of the world today it might be time for a slightly bigger tent.

Every nation/country-specific instance can go, tbh. They always have the worst users.

but trans women are the ones getting the vast majority of abuse and if the ladies wanna tussle i'm down to tussle

too much extra work just to keep around a few users who might be able to hang with us. if the instance allows transphobia, that's just more transphobia for us to potentially see an clean up ourselves, with no real way of addressing the root cause of it if it does end up becoming a problem. save yourselves the headache and ban it

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.

Shitty ass rule that just means transphobia and other bigotry is acceptable as long as it's a ”subtle” dogwhistle.

I say try but the first sign of it not working.

they can suck me

I'd rather err on the side of my trans homies bein safe.

Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius!

The British have no real value to add to any conversation. If they want to be part of the federation, choose an instance that doesn't revolve around TERF island

if they aren't good enough for shark site they're not good enough for bear site

There are only two other instances worth being federated with, and this site should always prioritize bring a safe space for marginalized people.

:ukkk:

(i'm trans fyi)
