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.

MODERATORS
 

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.

Further context can be found in this thread

As always, use dean-smile to vote for federation and dean-frown to vote for defederation.

Choosing "the dude" as your avatar and then whining about tankies really says a lot about who this person is.

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

It gets a lot worse when you actually interact with this reddit-ass dingus, but yeah, you're right with that first impression.

Lets remain Federated, leave the admins banned, and turn their site against them

I don’t usually support full de-federation unless it’s extremely bigoted/hateful content coming from the instance. Libs being libs is just the world we live in.

But it is funny that by their own definition they are a tankie lmao. Welcome to the resistance liberalism

Even I think we should defed from divide by liberal and I historically (and still) think we should federate with more rather than less.

Fuck dbzero the Internet would be better off without them.

Is it illegal to vote if I came from dbzer0 and made this account days ago and haven't really posted through this account until now?

dean-frown I swear 90% of the dbzer0 posts I see on the all feed are either /c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which we could and frankly should have a local equivalent to; and /c/share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is just Stable Diffusion pictures of random anime characters shared by exactly one person. Both these communities together account for only a small fraction of the all feed. As I see it, defederation from dbzer0 would have virtually no impact on the content available on Hexbear. Those few Hexbears who need access to the content of dbzer0 can always have alt accounts on other Lemmy instances which do federate with them.

Average dbzer0 users have an opportunity to migrate to Hexbear, some already have alt accounts here. I think dbzer0 users should strongly consider migrating here or to any other instance that federates with us, if their home instance's administrators are so incompetent and generally unpleasant, and they desire to have access to the content of Hexbear.

All in all, my recommendation is to create our own piracy community, make sure that users of dbzer0's piracy community know about it, and then defederate.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

dean-frown If its going to be increasing diffcult to interact with dbzero due to mccarthyism we shouldn't bother pretending.

[–] thisismyrealname@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

dean-smile

if their admins get mad enough to defed from us that's their issue. i think staying federated as a default (except for fascist or Zionist instances) is a good thing.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

dean-smile

the bit idea of staying federated but banning their admins is making me laugh and i support it.

[–] The_Riddler@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

dean-smile

all the dbzero members I've seen here are pretty cool, and, as stated by many others, banning the admins but staying federated is a very funny bit.

[–] Leon_Frotsky@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

dean-smile the continual chase to defederate every instance that isn't run by a 100% ideologically pure Marxist leninist is soy af, besides a load of the dbzero users are cool. Like, what was even the point of federation if we're going to defed one of the only other (at least nominally) left wing instances on lemmy

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

dean-frown defed from everything except grad. Some .mls are allowed some of them are alright people.

[–] ikilledtheradiostar@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

dean-malice

Make them defed from us. Lol

dean-smile incase you're auto counting

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

dean-smile

I agree with everyone else here that a lot of the users there seem cool and we shouldn’t punish them for shitty behavior of their admins.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

dean-smile Unless a comm is absolutely insufferable like those radlibs at 196, i don't like defederation and I rather enjoy the occasional squabble with the libs. I know a lot of people here disagree with that but this is my vote

EDIT: ah fuck i already cast my vote wrong. is it too late to change???

dean-frown defed for db0 harassing a traa mod but also cause there has been at least one instance where we got someone sitebanned here from dbzero for a transphobic comment on traa without that person being banned over there shrug-outta-hecks https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/Shake747 https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&userId=79070

[–] roux@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

:dean-frown: I only go to their piracy comm for the sidebar link for the list of sites when wanting to find stuff not on my main sites I use. That repo is from reddit anyway so we can just create our own comm and tack it into that or vett the sites ourselves or whatever.

~~Also lol I tried to emoji on Jerboa...~~

Never mind Ol' Hank seems to be working.

Also, we should def make a piracy comms. I donno if I am mod material but I can help with some more amateur stuff. I know enough to not get in trouble. I run my own media server and am behind a VPN like half the time I'm online anyway.

dean-malice As long as none of our marginalized users are being harassed extensively. I think its better to expose libs to brain worm poison than it is to defederate.

dean-frown Federation is a silly idea that only creates useless drama, constantly breaks, and auto archives everything. If you ask me a fed invented it.

[–] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

[–] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

dean-smile in favor of the bit of banning the admins of another instance. Too good to pass up.

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

The mods may be annoying but I like seeing users and posts from their instance. dean-smile

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

Ban their mods and admins but stay federated

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

dean-frown We should be reaching out off site (like Tik Tok) not stuck babysitting a bunch of reddit basement dwellers and spoon feeding them basic ass facts about the world that your typical gen z high schooler figured out years ago

Federation on lemmy is a placebo, there's a whole world beyond these caves

dean-frown I been saying this for so long. Fuck those guys.

For the few cool people who are there, you know who you are. Just come make accounts here on hex.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

db0 as an instance seems okay but the admin is a fuckin asshat.

DM harassment to boot? I'm from Buenos Aires and i say BAN EM ALL

I thought I was a tankie because I respect Lenin, but the new goal posts still hit home

I'm down to keep explaining but also understand if people are uncomfortable

I voted both ways and now I'll sit on the fence

I think defederation should be avoided unless the instance is really bad, like overtly racist nazis.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

dean-smile

The users there shan't bear all their sins of the mods, as far as I'm concerned...
