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.

dean-frown

The only thing I ever saw from that instance was AI "art" and drama. Nothing of value.

I have !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !botart@lemmy.dbzer0.com blocked, it's super easy to block specific things you don't want to see

I have three of their comms blocked, the other one is !share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com, it just seems like whenever I see a db0 post its some AI art I have to block again. That's all the "contribution" from db0 I see and weighed against the harrassment and hostility of their admins I didn't see why federating with them would be worth it, but https://hexbear.net/comment/4894765 changed my mind.

@CARCOSA@hexbear.net I'd like to rescind my vote for defederating.
