Yep, Hexbear had an issue with Blahaj, not the reverse. Not sure defending accusations of false trans-identity and chasers is the hill you want to die on.
I haven’t seen the behaviour that you are accusing them of.
Here's the thread where it was discussed.
I think I’ll take the side of everyone who haven’t defederated from Blahaj.
Ada runs a tight ship there.
I still think it was wrong of some of Blahaj's mods to attack Hexbear's trans users by questioning the validity of their identity, and consider that transphobic. I don't think everyone on Blahaj is evil or transphobic or anything, but I do believe those individual actions to have been bad and should've been called out by Blahaj's other moderators and Ada. Same with the Chaser bit, some trans people were fine, and others absolutely weren't, and rather than taking the side of the ones who felt it was problematic, they were shut down and silenced.
