On Blahaj and 196 (hexbear.net)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue.

We have attempted to make good-faith parley with both the instance admin and the comm moderators, but we've reached a point which we feel that until these behaviors are addressed by instance administration, we can no longer continue to federate in good-faith while our users are being actively invalidated by a small-but-vocal portion of the forum. Once we are confident that these behaviors have ceased and are unlikely to continue, we are more-than-happy to refederate in the name of queer solidarity.

Thanks for bearing with us :07:

Incredibly based. Civility is a two way street, and I didn't like how we were bowing and scraping to get them to do us the favor of remaining federated. Hopefully some of their cooler users will migrate over

I also wish their Anarcho-Bidenist mod/admin team a very biden-leftist

Yeah that's what we're happy about. Until today the official stance from admins and mods had been appeasement. No linking to their posts, no tagging them, etc. etc.

All to appease these anti-communist doomscrollers that were always going to have a problem with us, and whose anti-communist attitudes would always give fash a way in. Nice of them to go mask off so soon.

We are the larger instance, with a larger queer community. We don't need them. I guess I don't get the point of your reply shrug-outta-hecks

Now we can prove it was always bullsht, that it was never about behavior, not that they will care

Federation going awfully well;

You’ll love it, you’ll get to dunk on the libs! Ok, well not on their instances. But you can do it here! Ok, well actually no you can’t. We have to be nice to the liberals or they’ll defederate us.

gets defederated

Ok guys, I know the last thousand times haven’t gone as smoothly as planned, but we need to be nice to HeilHitler1488 or they’ll defederate us!

Me with the "I'm gonna use Kbin because Lemmy's developed by a tankie" to "I'm gonna use Blåhaj because Kbin can't moderate transphobia" to "I'm gonna use Hexbear because Blåhaj can't moderate ableism" pipeline

I am happy to report that this is the only online community I've ever been in where a minority of the userbase can raise issues and get them dealt with. it took some struggle the first time but we're very proud of the strong anti-bigotry stance we've collectively settled on, made all the stronger because it comes out of users, mods, and admins doing self-crit when these issues are brought forward.
