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
I think we should still consider defederating them, in case they change their mind later and decide to come back and harass us (they’ve been known to engage in this sort of behavior). Honestly I just heard about this before I came on but I have heard drama from Hexbear in the past and in all honesty even if they do defederate I’m all for mutual defederation.
How long ago did you hear about said drama?
To be fair, everything the naysayers said before we started federating happened, and worse.
Few weeks ago maybe, I’m not sure, I didn’t think much of it at the time but I remembered about it when this happened.
