What's insulting about "struggle session"? I will concede that it was dismissive, because I was dismissing demands for immediate defederation, which contradicts our decision making process.

Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they've also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

Weird, simply saying that trans people that are finished transitioning aren't trans... because they're done transitioning... as in they're now just a man or woman... got me called a bigot...

Like straight up, told that I'm a bigot and should not even think of speaking about trans people.

Some people over there also claimed that diseases didn't kill native Americans. They claimed it's "revisionist history" and they refered to the settlers as "shock troops".

I'm just glad these people probably don't go outside very much.

What the actual fuck is wrong with admins of SJW?

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that's well underway over here.

Thought this instance puts things to vote so yeah, duck you too, goodbye.

But more seriously, this wasn't a vote for us to have. We hadn't actually defederated from them in the first place. Their instance is one of the few set to whitelist only. Instead of federating with everyone by default and defederating by adding URLs to a blacklist, they exclusively select instances to federate with by their admins manually adding them to their allow list.

So it was their instance that decided to add us to their list of instances they'll interact with. No change was made at sh.itjust.works without local user consultation. If you have concerns with this there is a recent discussion post at the !agora@sh.itjust.works

Yeah, garbage post. I expect we'll see discussion/vote for defederation soon, though. I'd like to hear from TheDude as his stance made a lot more sense when we were defederating from exploding-heads.

Discussion thread is ongoing as we speak.
