I’m trans and I really don’t want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren’t getting de-modded and banned. I also don’t want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.

Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.

    Yeahhh I’m generally pro-federation but going so far as to not only use ableist language but to remove criticism of it is a big yikes. I think blahaj’s admin and our admins are trying to work together and make it work, but 196’s mods are actively opposed and trying to burn the bridge. Blahaj was there before and accepted a 196 lifeboat, possibly without knowing too much about them.

    I’m still in favor of federation but if we’re expected to tone it down then we need it to go both ways. Otherwise we’re not losing much.

      I’m really hoping this is the case

      I’m sick of feeling like I need to tiptoe around people who are acting like shitheads lest I offend them and ruin it for everyone

        I do find it unsurprising that despite all the bluster about how Hexbear is the one ruining everyone’s community we have largely been the nicest and most restrained.

          Amazing how we get shit for calling out class positions and calling for some hot ranmao action. That’s authoritarian, but dehumanizing people with disabilities/neurodivergent is somehow

          totes OK, LOL, just internet grow up tankies.

          Ah but you forget, you guys don’t tolerate their bigotry, which means that you’re just as bad bothsides horseshoe.
