On Blahaj and 196 - Hexbear
hexbear.net
Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals [https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3df0e4c7-bb64-4c00-bbdb-5c753018895c.jpeg?format=webp] from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers [https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97e9abd7-e8be-499e-8db7-7a7d5d1e2762.webp], no-quarter rules regarding our users [https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/8dc37487-d36b-4a55-9519-c3f8bb4fcae6.png], leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team [https://hexbear.net/post/361826], and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue. We have attempted to make good-faith parley with both the instance admin and the comm moderators, but we've reached a point which we feel that until these behaviors are addressed by instance administration, we can no longer continue to federate in good-faith while our users are being actively invalidated by a small-but-vocal portion of the forum. Once we are confident that these behaviors have ceased and are unlikely to continue, we are more-than-happy to refederate in the name of queer solidarity. Thanks for bearing with us :07:

      I really wanted the two instances to stay federated and advocated for such, but now I’m not sure if I even want to be here. Here’s hoping we can commandeer 196 and make sure it’s based and doesn’t end up like the reddit one

      I didn’t see the ableism, what did they say?

          I didn’t call anyone braindead, and I left the slur in so that people would know what I said, and what I was apologizing for.

      I was about to yell “Good riddance!” and go running to join the transy-sharky-instance but we just really ‘can’t have nice things,’ can we :-\ :(

          I definitely see them O.o Kbin’s kinda weird. Maybe there’s spooky magic involved! … Okay, there isn’t, but I don’t know why I see them and seem to have no option to not see them without jumping ship.

          On kbin here, definitely can see them. If they did not federate with kbin that means they just can’t see kbin posts/comments
