If so, was it polled somewhere?

Pretty disappointing that @iamaqtpie is active on hexbear and says things like:

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that’s well underway over here.

which reddit considered hate speech πŸ™„

Also disappointing that hexbear gets to vote federation, while we are left to federate to hexbear without a choice because the admins like the instance. Lame.

It's clear that sh.itjust.works does not care to get community support in it's decision making and we are left at the whims of the admins preferences. Isn't this why most of us left Reddit? Because community say didn't mean anything?

LMAO I got banned for this post

No reason given. Just "mod Banned"

That's a highly suspicious use of a ban that I would like admin feedback on.

While your take about decision making is slightly wrong...
We're federating with everything by default and use blocklists. Hexbear is fedetating with nobody by default and uses allowlists.
Basically, no action has been made by local admins for this new federation to happen.
We never had to defederate them before because they weren't fedetating with us.

The next step would be discussion then vote in the agora. I expect defederation to take a bit more than a week if the process hasn't changed too much since last time.

That said, your comment isn't anywhere near ban worthy and is a really bad optics on whichever mod was involved in that.

Looks like I got unbanned and my alt banned

which reddit considered hate speech πŸ™„

here's the whole quote, emphasis mine:

Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech πŸ™„

Why would you take this out of context, and what is your issue with the whole quote?

[–] bzz@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The quote was to establish that the admins personal feelings are involved about the instance.

It is an objective fact that the sub was banned on Reddit for hate speech. The rolling eyes emoji establishes the admins personal feelings on the subject.

Whether the ban is justified or not is irrelevant to my point that SJW does not care to understand what its user base may want.

What are their standards for calling someone a slaveowner? Because if they're the types I think they are they would include people who clearly don't belong in that category

[–] mycorrhiza@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

the posts were often some variant of "John Brown did nothing wrong," so, actual slave owners

bad take, we are voting right now in agora about this. Are you ignorant of it or just shit stirring?
