hexbear

The only activity on that instance is the admin, the nazi and hexbears.

No, because reform and opening up must continue.

If an instance is making it more difficult to maintain a safe space for marginalized people on hexbear, that's when it needs to be axed. But it seems to me that a lot of these "yes, defederate!" arguments are more just about how obviously wrong and bad the mods and admins of these other instances are. And yes, they are wrong and bad, they're fucking disgusting. But by cutting ourselves off from ever being able to even see the shit they post, are we helping hexbear be a better place, or are we only making it so our correct analyses and perspectives are seen by even fewer people (including lurkers and potential comrades on the sidelines)? I'm not saying I have the answer to that question, I do lean more towards it being the latter, but maybe I'm wrong.

The most interesting threads to me are often the ones where hexbears, lemmygraders, and some .ml's are schooling the libs and tearing down the fash. When we defederate from the instances where said libs and fash think they won't get any pushback, we not only make it so those threads don't happen for us anymore (and I respect those who prefer that, dgmw), it also makes it so all that disgusting shit goes more unopposed on the rest of the "lemmyverse." It also makes it so our comrades on .ml, those who do speak up to counter the lies, are more likely to get dogpiled into silence without hexbears even knowing, let alone being able to come to their aid in the posting trenches.

It looks like this is already a landslide for "yes" but I still just have to say that I feel like by doing that we're just making it easier for them and (while it might seem parodoxical) worse in the long run for us, for reasons similar to what others like @Babs@hexbear.net and @SevenSkalls@hexbear.net already said elsewhere in this thread.

I don't have strong feelings either way. They'll probably defed from us on their own eventually.

I don't care either way, never remember interacting with them. But I do love a close race, give my vote to the losing side please.

how do we bully them if we defed

so we can free the brainwashed people who claim to be Santa's elves in the land of the North Poles.

Reverse this vote if the users in question are causing material harm to Hexbears

Dont infringe on our right to bully fascists.

Yes, I'd let transfem.social admins to check the europe.pub content before deciding to defederate

No.

I always learn something whenever we bully people and the folks here bring out their paragraphs of sources.

Make them defederate so they can remain Nazis. The only reason to cut contact should be to protect users and in the words of the bard: “cyber bullying isn’t real!”

I have no idea what this discourse is about, but any opportunity to have fewer white Europeans interacting with us on a daily basis is objectively a win.

that nitwit ukrainian nazi/ukrainian nazi apologist came on the news comm recently and she was apparently a mod there? they're not sending their best, folks.

I don't think I've ever seen an @europe.pub user here having good opinions, like I fairly frequently do with @lemmy.db0.com users, for example.

Nie mam siły patrzeć na takich kompletnych debili, weźcie się kurwa pozbądźcie ich żebym mógł znowu lurkować w spokoju. Nie mam jakiegokolwiek zamiaru widzieć takiego gówna sortując po

A poza tym kim ona jest, żeby zarządzać społeczność o Polsce? Czy ona nawet umię gram polskiego? Czy jest zaznajomina z naszą kulturą (lub jej brakiem lol), realiami politycznimi i ten teges? Jakby z takim podejściem do Rosji to pasowała by w sam raz do naszych libków ale chuj, tylko tyle ją łączy na pierwszy rzut oka. Jakby też, co to kurwa za posty, powinna pisać w społeczności ukraińskiej czy coś.

Ingles?

Nie chcę mi się kurwa, poradzisz se. Mądra z ciebie morda.

🇷🇴 uhhh I have no horse in the race but from my time here I think Eastern Europeans are pretty chill. It’s probably better to have some dissenting voices in that echo chamber rather than letting them fall into a solipsistic nightmare?

europe.ppb

these are insane takes, but I don't think we should defed since they aren't attacking hexies or whatever

Additionally, the main perpetrator has been promoted to moderator on the Poland@europe.pub comm where they consistently post pro-ukrainian-nazi propaganda and wish death upon the Russian people.

The real fucked up thing is being a mod of a Polish comm while denying war crimes perpetuated against Polish people. This is how far gone the admins are in "sticking it to Putler."

I think users can block comms/users they don't like or want to hear from.

I guess I'll be an enlightened, radical centrist and abstain.

I'm cool with defederating them, but also think it would be fine to stay federated with them and PPB them until they defederate with us, which is probably inevitable. Either way, fuck those Nazis.

just bully them

No

I agree that id prefer to bully them until they defederate UNLESS they cause too much trouble to our people, then I don’t mind defederating.

We struggle less among ourselves when there is some chum in the water. Bully the Banderites until they cut us off.
