Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

A thought about federation (hexbear.net)

There's been discussion of federation with Lemmygrad. I think this is probably a good call. I just want to know how the anti-sectarian rule would be enforced. Like, it someone makes an anti-anarchist post on lemmygrad.ml and it shows up on hexbear.net, would the moderators hide the comment on our end but not on Lemmygrad? Would repeat offenders be banned from hexbear.net even though they made the comment on a different iteration?

Same for one of the bigger anarchist instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone which has good leftist and trans content but also has regular struggle sessions about "tankies." It seems like federation with then would be a boon for both sites, but moderating the left unity rule would be a nightmare.

Also, another thought: would downbears from other instances carry over here?

I believe the way it works is that on lemmygrad if this comment got 400 downvotes it would show up at (time of writing) -395, but anyone viewing from hexbear would still see +5
