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.

MODERATORS
 

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.

Further context can be found in this thread

As always, use dean-smile to vote for federation and dean-frown to vote for defederation.

If the offending users are banned, it should be fine. The moderator on DB0 that caused this whole mess was just your classic internet mod taking a meme personally and getting offended. I still don't understand how someone can get offended at first world privelege getting called out, it's the most obvious and visible type of privelege that even libs and chuds recognise. To deny it's existence would be to live in an alternative reality and be even more insulated than your average lib or chud.
