Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

undernopretext.social is a Mastodon instance for leftist firearms enthusiasts run by seahorse, the admin of midwest.social.

https://lemy.lol is a small (43 users a day) Lemmy instance that federates with Hexbear and Lemmygrad and blocks Threads. Their admin seems open to learning more about gender, and they have built off of @CannotSleep420@hexbear.net's lemmy-bot.

https://pricefield.org/ pretty inoffensive instance about life is strange

[–] haltmich@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

lemmy.sdfeu.org is from the same crowd that runs lemmy.sdf.org (just from another CDN). The latter is federated but not the first.

Any chance of linking them? They have a no defederation policy, but I can't see your posts from my main instance.

lemmy.blahaj.zone is a general purpose lemmy instance for queer and gender diverse folk, and their allies. They like our pronouns feature, and they have disabled downvotes like Hexbear has.

voltage.vn microinstance for a guy from vietnam who posts interesting engineering content.

feddit.de is a German-speaking alternative, independent and self-managed space for free exchange of views, beyond the control of large tech companies. They have upgraded to Lemmy v0.19.0, meaning that their users can decide for themselves which instances to block, in the marketplace of ideas.

szmer.info is the largest Polish Lemmy instance at 28 daily users, and it federates with Hexbear.

Their 7 most active communities:

Hey, is there a good reason we don’t federate with https://slrpnk.net/ ? I just ask because it’s an anarchist environmentalist instance with no porn and no bigotry (that I’ve seen). I haven’t spent much time analysing it but from first impressions it looks to be both fairly active and feels like it may have users who would be more or less aligned with hexbear even if they are federated with some worse instances.

lemmy.VG is an anarchist, vegan-only Lemmy server existing to provide the vegan community safe access to the Fediverse, and they federate with Hexbear and Lemmygrad. It hosts https://lemmy.vg/c/vegancirclejerk, which has 231 daily users.

kolektiva.social/Kolektiva is an anti-colonial anarchist collective that offers federated social media to anarchist collectives and individuals in the fediverse. It has 3,489 monthly users

pawb.social yiffit.net - furries

Reason: The internet is a greyer, duller place without them.

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmygrad.ml because i post there sometimes and don't want to maintain 2 accounts.

[–] timconspicuous@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To name another mastodon instance, I'd personally love to see kolektiva.social added. It's the biggest anti-colonial/anarchist mastodon instance sitting at 36k users and for many leftists like me it was sort of the default landing page during the very first twitter exodus. Lemmygrad federated with them as well fwiw.

[–] ntldr@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

lemmy.blugatch.tube - I run a small instance for myself and my friends. Registration is not open to the general public so the potential for abuse is incredibly low. I currently identify as an ancom, former shitposter on the CTH sub, and I'm here for the leftist unity!

[–] jack@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some akkoma instances to federate with:

snowdin.town: leftist, queer, antifascist, explicitly anti-loli/pedo/etc; actively blocks all the kind of shit we're concerned about

Outerheaven.club: Metal Gear, blocks the bad stuff

mycrowd.ca: general purpose, very anti,fascist/bigotry/pedo, blocks the bad stuff

akkow.wtf: general purpose shitposting, blocks the bad stuff

seafoam.space: general purpose chill site, blocks the bad stuff

Akkoma is Twitter/Mastodon/Pleroma style and so far most seems to have attracted very cool and active communities

whiskers.bim.boats - Disclaimer: I made a Hexbear account here just for this. We really like Hexbear and anonymously lurk everyday since we already run our own tiny instance with 2 active users and don't want the hassle of multiple accounts...So the comms available are basically what we look at and like (bar some lib places we subbed to for dialectical purposes). Whiskers is defederated from threads if that matters but none of us subscribe to comms on other sus/fash instances anyway. Although if there is a short list of instances with that kinda stuff we can add them too.

TL; DR: Just a few ML folks looking for some fedi left-unity.

preserve.games seems like a nice hobby instance to federate with.

[–] Bruja@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

feddit.rocks is run by kavin.rocks who host piped/libreddit/nitter privacy frontends, has a bot that provides privacy links in comments

lemmings.world has a couple possibly useful bots and communities for What We Do in the Shadows and the lemmings game

edit: oop, just read the comment in the defederation nomination post. lmao nevermind
