Yes, we will be refederating but need to sort out technical issues before we can so that we do not cause problems for the instances on our allow-list. As a result of us being all volunteers, often time real life gets in the way, with that being said we have committed to enabling federation by the end of the month.
Yes. And woe to those prematurely celebrating our demise.
Hexbear federation is kind of like a movie.
We've had our act one origin story, where we unleash our posting powers upon the world.
We've had our act two challenges, where the libs and chuds thought we were on the ropes due to the domain name thing.
Act three is going to be our triumphant return to the posting wars, where our powers are sharpened, heightened, practiced, and perfected - and we employ those powers with gusto and purpose and joie de vivre.
The lemmyverse is going to know that we are back, and that we overcome all setbacks, and that we take no shits and give no fucks.
Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
