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.

If you want to talk politics, you’re gonna have to accept the fact that people will have different opions. This isn’t hexbear where everyone with a different view is instabanned. I get that emotions are running high over the situation in Gaza, but try to respond in good faith instead of leaping to the most uncharitable interpretation possible

It seems to me that you are the only person badjacketing in this post. If you think it’s a good policy to ban fellow anarchists for having a nuanced view on the Gaza situation, then you might want to check out hexbear - intolerant authoritarianism is their whole vibe.

Anarchism is when you have a nuanced view on genocide. Not having a nuanced view on genocide is authoritian and bad. maybe-later-honey

Politics is about being unemotional and never becoming too invested in any given subject, and the more detached and ineffective your engagement in politics is, the more correct you are.

I keep forgetting which book it's in but clearly anarchism is all about enlightened centrism.
