Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca regarding potential refederation. Lemmy.ca had added hexbear to their blocklist about a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/3326347
With the recent changes in lemmy features as well as a maturing fediverse the mods/admins of hexbear and lemmy.ca are open to trying again, but before we put lemmy.ca on our allow-list we wanted to open up discussion and voting to the users of hexbear.
This vote will be binding with regard to adding lemmy.ca to our allow-list. In addition, the idea of including sh.itjust.works in this discussion was raised but was voted down by a majority of mods from inclusion.
https://lemmy.ca/c/canada and https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming are the instance's top two communities but there are a few other small, niche communities. A community that may be removed from hexbear is the https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore so please indicate your opinion on this community if you have one.
As usual please use
if you would like lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list
if you would like lemmy.ca to not be added to our allow-list
We will leave this post unlocked for a few days before making the decision, thank you. Users may also use this post for a general discussion on federation including naming instances for federation/defederation or feedback for the hexbear admin/mod team.
why did they add hexbear to the blocklist in the first place, i need the lore
I don't know, personally I'm still going to hate on Banderites and if someone were to whine about that I might respond with ppb (or the Hitler particles detected emoji, emojis have come such a long way!).
I also think that most people here just want landlord's properties expropriated from them, that when someone is being seriously fucked with by their landlord, you can't expect them not to start joking about guillotines or whatever.
Unless lemmy.ca can compromise here we're just gonna defed again right?
That second citation for “general trolling” is fucking hilarious

I salute you @GaveUp@hexbear.net and @Frank@hexbear.net
Unless .ca is ok with more of this, I concur I don’t think it will work out. I don’t mind the chaos though tbh.
Did we get defed'd? Do i get a medal for co-defeating kkklanada?
Reading their year-iold discussion about defedding, and honestly what they did to themselves arguing about us was much, much worse than anything we did to them. Smdh someone tried to drag roman law in as some kind of justification for the ethics of land lordism!
Yes but you have to return the medal if we re-fed.
Fuck better go make some alts then I guess!
there's a form you can fill to ask for it to be returned to you if we re-de-fed
I will still call for Execution of Landlords regardless of Federation status lot even Mao can stop me
first complaint is ppb.. I don't think it's gonna work out
honestly idk about refederation with these people. im sure there are nice people there but if some of them are just going to keep complaining about ppb and russia and acting in bad faith then id rather pass
"Are there nice people in KKKlanada" is a complicated question because it hinges on whether nice is the same as kind and whether first nations land is part of Canada or occupied territory in violation of international law.
I've had a lot of fun trolling people IRL here in
who defend Israel's "self defence" by demanding that Canada be returned to the control of the descendents of those who lived within its modern borders 2000 years ago.
I just actually checked the comments, why is every defed thread the exact same? trolls ppb china russia far left=far right making real communists look bad waahh
And my favourite, 'brigading'
Well, most of the anglo sphere are in nato, nato are fascists, fascisst and communists and like oil and oxygenated flourine compounds. Sort of a circle of life thing.
aww look this whole vote is a consequence of everyone being nice to vegans.
I forgot about the reddit culture thing of hating vegans. ledditor bar is so low, being nice to vegans is considered shocking
there was a moral panic going on. everyone was doing it.
that's when i made my account. history shows us that moral panics are typically about good fun righteous and/or gay things.
