I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Hexbear was the only lemmy for 4 years, over that time their code base diverged, it took a few months to make federation possible again… a lot of users opposed federation concerns about harassment or just valuing one of the few leftist communities. The end result was slow federation, with users suggesting specific instances to federate with, and instances getting defederated if the admins failed to take adequate action against transphobes/chasers.

    Now there’s two of us that are speaking truth.

    Half this thread is hexbears and others telling people exactly what they believe about random topics.

    Are they? That wouldn’t be thematically consistent with their years of telling others what they’d like to hear for their entertainment. Their culture is selfish in that way.

    There was never a consensus on whether HB should be segregated

    There was never formal consensus in that leadership repeatedly denied the vote, favoring a granular, instance-by-instance approach.

    What are you talking about?

    An organized, grassroots movement that employed questionable means to force the wisest decision upon leadership and everyone else.

      Here’s the vote that approved the granular instance-by-instance approach

      Are you describing the consensus building and struggle sessions as “forcing the wisest decision on everyone”?
