We literally defederated from a server that our trans community fairly unanimously said was harming them yes. Are you saying that we should have ignored our entire trans community?
Shit just works kept actually threatening our community so I appreciate our mods defederating from them too. Not sure what you think a "good" reason is if you apparently think "threatening actual material harm on a community" is a bad one.
All of this is clearly laid out in the posts about the defeds, which you could go read for more information. You won't. But you could educate yourself instead of spouting complete nonsense
I have read them, and there is no evidence. You clearly don't need evidence over there, anything a hexbear account says is the absolute truth, and anything from another server is absolute fascism. You guys don't concern yourself with the details or nuances in life.
Let's have a look at the defederation announcement about sh.itjust.works. Keep in mind this was less than 48 hours after you voluntarily voted to federate with us, expecting to abuse and overwhelm our userbase like you had already done to many smaller servers. Unfortunately, you didn't realize that we were larger than you and thus less susceptible to being drowned out by the brigading, which led to a quick tactical retreat by your fearless leaders.

Firstly, opening up by calling us sh.itsfulla.chuds and sh.itholefor.nazis. Very mature and rational behavior from an admin π
I personally witnessed a hexbear user throwing a shit fit about people using the word "crazy". Apparently that's an ableist slur. Woopdee-doo
Lmao, I guess my point is self evident here. A lot of big words that convey absolutely no information about what specifically was objectionable about the behavior of sh.itjust.works users. I'd love if you could explain to me how "overwhelming litigiousness" and "a general ethos of reactionary behavior" are grounds for defederation π
I have also read the things that hexbear users have said about everybody else, and quite frankly they are the most nakedly racist and xenophobic comments on the entirety of Lemmy. Imagine having the gall to use the most hateful and dehumanizing language towards white people as a matter of principle, and then turn around and get all butthurt at a "racist" meme of Xi Jinping as Winnie the Pooh. Try to rationalize that one for me, because I can't seem to figure it out
Oh God he's white and thinks people can be racist against him
Hilarious. Good luck with middle school, you're gonna learn a lot!
You're a hateful person who's making the world a worse place. Learn to empathize.
Who, precisely, do you think I hate? Do you have evidence for that?
