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.

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.

Further context can be found in this thread

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

Issue is that we've had the situation before where a very active mod from another instance taints the whole community. It happened with Blahaj that the 196 mod was a complete lib and kept accusing us of nonsense, the Blahaj admin couldn't get the situation under control so we had to defed. This situation is even worse TBH, because while the Blahaj admin was fairly cooperative, here we have the admin of dbzer0 going after one of our users in DMs. That's over the line in my book.

iirc the most pertinent issue with blahaj was abetting chasers, i.e. a moderation pattern that puts our trans users in a bad position (however much I also hate blahaj's tankiejerk shit). This is not a moderation pattern, it's a pattern of personal behavior from one obsessive that now does not directly affect us, and the ripple effect of the one obsessive should be negligible based on past experience. In my view, that "taint" you are talking about is a phantasm in this case.

it's also worth noting that the main blahaj admin has said she'd consider refederating to reverse the fracturing of trans communities once there's proper user level instance blocking (of users as well as comms unlike what lemmy has rn) and if hexbear blocked the 196 comm so that the admins wouldnt have to moderate 196 users complaining about seeing real communists who dont just hold identical foreign policy positions to holden-bloodfeast and they wouldnt have to deal with hexbear users going onto 196 and getting into slapfights over there
