Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

If so, was it polled somewhere?

Sucks for you guys. They caused nothing but trouble when they were still federated with Blahaj.
After so many of us complained about how they were being dicks and many on the instance weren't feeling comfortable, hexbear decided to defederate from us first since they somehow said it wasn't safe for their LGBT members to be on it.
Funny enough a few days later a new account started posting across different lemmy instances for days about how the Blahaj instance was anti trans and that the admin was too. Our Admin is openly trans :/
The whole argument started because the user said everything had to be political and wouldn't stop insulting others who said they didn't want to have every post on Blahaj to turn political.
It was just too perfect timing how a few days after hexbear defedarated for somehow saying the pro LGBT instance was anti-LGBT, that we got a brand new account attacking trans members while sayin they were anti-trans.
Enjoy your new people.
It might be time for me to see if the sync scripts for new accounts across instances work.
Their politics are bad enough but they are so. Fucking. Annoying. Then they cry victim as if they're misunderstood, etc.
Isn't at leat one of the admins there trans? Basic fact checking, people.
Yeah the Blahaj admin they accused of being anti-trans was trans. They knew this too. The admin has talked to them in the original post that started it all and told the troll they were trans.
The user 100% did it on purpose to insult the Blahaj admin and to then go across all of Lemmy and post how they were anti trans.
I also saw that same user tag a Lemmy.world admin to tell them to ban a trans Blahaj user for being a chaser. Then the Blahaj user got banned even though nobody was commenting on a lemmy.world post. If you wanna read that long story then click this link to my other comment here. The 2nd half of my comment there is that long story.
I'm not a troll. You can go look up my new Hexbear account I made after they told me Hexbear wasn't transphobic, and you can see me talking about my gender consistently for the past week, and you can see transphobes on Hexbear calling me an anti-hexbear troll because they think swarmgenders are a joke.

Oh, you mean the chaser who was harassing a lemmy.world user and who had been warned by the admins that if they kept engaging they'd be banned? That chaser? The chaser who also got banned from SLRPNK.net, which is where they were harassing the .world user?
Trans people are capable of transphobia because not every trans person in the world knows everything in the world about trans issues.
Yeah, I thought of Caitlyn Jenner after
Ada the Admin is in a position where she has the technical skills to run a platform, and the social skills, but not the political skills. Political skills include things like identifying dogwhistles, understanding the relationships between different kinds of bigotry, and knowing how to identify a problematic worldview from an unrelated comment. I told Ada that one of the users had offensive views, and a day later that user was misgendering me and spouting misogyny. Ada didn't believe me because she doesn't understand trans issues well enough, and when time proved I was right, she stuck to her guns when she should have been taking tips on how to create a safe space. What Ada has done is create a space where it is unsafe for trans people to defend themselves from bigotry more complex than Ada can personally understand. And Ada puts little effort into understanding bigotry. This is dangerous.
seems like we will be defederated again soon judging by the vote in agora
Hey, you're talking about me! Yes, I was repeatedly misgendered by a user who claimed to be apolitical. Yes, I warned the admins that this user was going to be transphobic and they did nothing. Yes, I believe that trans people are capable of transphobia, because not every trans person knows every single thing in the universe about being trans.
