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~~

No. Moss just stirred up drama by acting like a child. All they did was give poor Ada more to deal with

Moss did the best they could to spare their community from tankies. It's constant vigilance in a leftist shitposting community to make sure you're proactive in dealing with tankies otherwise you now have a tankie community. You can't engage them in good faith, you have to make sure they know they aren't welcome.

No they fucking didn't. They posted private dms with "lol. Lmao even" to stir up hexbear, and then when Ada asked them not to they acted like a child by scribbling over the DM with big text saying "ADA MADE ME CENSOR THIS". If they don't want tankie's in their community, fine. But they dealt with this TERRIBLY and only made things far far worse. They should not be a moderator of any community here

Agreed. this would be borderline unacceptable behavior from a regular user.. mods should be held to a higher standard. +1 for demodding

They shouldn't have leaked dms though. The admin of hexbear did ask respectfully, and Moss could've just kept their response private. I personally think that the banner is fine, but Moss should have acted more mature.
