dbzer0 defederation vote (results are in, we will remain federated but the offending admins will remain banned)
(hexbear.net)
db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.
Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.
According to this person "tankie" is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

As always, use 
to vote for federation and 
to vote for defederation.
I feel responsible for exacerbating this particular interaction. I just have a compulsion from my chapo days to poke the bear when someone comes into the forum claiming that we are all mad and salty and they are the reasonable ones.
That said, all of my criticisms of his arguments were genuinely in good-faith, I can't stand his drowning in hypotheticals argument style and he clearly has some very weird control complex. (what mod doesn't amirite?)
Is that enough for defed? Idk. As I have said before I will be here regardless of the outcome as long as some semblance of the poster culture remains. It's pretty clear that the admin team doesn't like us and considers us bad-faith on jump, so I don't particularly see the point of further interaction. The users are mostly ok.
Eh. It's really that denial of first world privilege and calling simple acknowledgment of that 'tankie' that seals it for me. Not really a useful leftism then, is it?
Nine times out of ten, argumentative hypotheticals are a fool's way of sounding smart. I hate them.
"OK but what if the Palestinians were were Serbian, and the Israelis were Roma? Really makes you think, huh?"
