Edit - Hexbear announced plans to deferedate from us.

After recent events, it feels to me that sentiment has shifted and more people are asking for defederation of hexbear than previously
I’ve been doing my best to try and mend bridges and keep us connected, as it’s my hope that we can maintain trans solidarity and work with them, despite the friction, however, ultimately, I feel that this is an issue for the blahaj lemmy community to decide, not the admins alone
So here’s what we’re going to do
We’re going to leave things as they are for a week. That will give time for things to calm down whilst we see if we can work together. After a week, I’ll put up a vote and get a feel for where the community is at in regards to our continued federation with hexbear. That poll will run for a week. If there is a strong will to defederate (a clear majority), then that’s what we will do

It’s just more about the whole attitude not inspiring much hope for me. I don’t really expect them to operate on good faith when they act like that.

While, sure, saying we were “whining and crying” and stuff like that is just really off-putting to me.
It’s one thing to be upset and respond to it, it’s another to pretty much go straight into insulting. Like, yeah, sure, give them a chance, but I really don’t want that kinda stuff around.
If they keep it to just their instance but otherwise don’t change their behaviour, I will probably just end up blocking their stuff, as it just makes me mad, and call it a day. For now though I’m still reading their posts… even if they do make me mad, to judge for myself.

It very much seemed like acceptable culture/behavior to me
