dbzer0 defederation vote (results are in, we will remain federated but the offending admins will remain banned)
(hexbear.net)
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 
to vote for federation and 
to vote for defederation.
well, I was gonna vote smile, but then I typed all this up and realized I'm not tied to this outcome and maybe shouldn't vote at all, I've just seen enough decent interactions with users from that instance that it would suck to see them go.
But it sucks more to know db0 was DM harassing. I had an interaction with them today that I thought went well, and I wouldn't have suspected them to carry on to DM any of the arguments I was seeing them have, they seemed pretty civil. I guess that's how people operate sometimes, though. ๐ this sucks.
yeah they freaked at the mod who removed one of their shitty comments, opening message called the mod a piece of shit.
wtf! dude came in that thread all like, "everybody chill, there's no need to be heated," and then got all hot with the mods ๐คฆ
idk why anything ever surprises me anymore, I guess maybe I just keep thinking better of the average human than I probably should
