I don’t know why this take hits me so hard. It’s so utterly comical in my brain. It’s such a bizarre idea to me that we’re going to be bleeding the users who have been here when it was literally only hexbear after a week or two of federation because, what, do they think their posting power is going to sway people over there? This is one of the least controversial site decisions to have happened over on this side of the coin. The idea of this being a phenomenon that will happen with multiple, let alone even one of our pre-federation users is so utterly incompatible with my mental model of Hexbear that I can’t fucking get over it. It’s fucking fascinating strangelove-wow

if you are one of these people planning to exodus to blahaj full-time please let me know because it’s too good of a bit to keep to yourself

    Like five people are going to make accounts over there while retaining accounts here so they can still post on both, so basically hexbear has fallen.

    Also do we even have the version of lemmy that lets you block communities

      Yes the mod team discussed removing the /c/[email protected] community from hexbear, but the fact remained that there are multiple instances of appropriate mod actions being taken regarding reactionary lemmy.blahaj.zone users and moderators. Some of the members of the mod team were really angered by the DM leak and with a pretty clear majority of hexbear users wanted to defederate we decided to make one last attempt. We messaged their admin when TomboyShulk made the post and we waited approximately four hours after that to actually remove them based on the action or inaction taken.
