Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca regarding potential refederation. Lemmy.ca had added hexbear to their blocklist about a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/3326347

With the recent changes in lemmy features as well as a maturing fediverse the mods/admins of hexbear and lemmy.ca are open to trying again, but before we put lemmy.ca on our allow-list we wanted to open up discussion and voting to the users of hexbear.

This vote will be binding with regard to adding lemmy.ca to our allow-list. In addition, the idea of including sh.itjust.works in this discussion was raised but was voted down by a majority of mods from inclusion.

https://lemmy.ca/c/canada and https://lemmy.ca/c/pcgaming are the instance's top two communities but there are a few other small, niche communities. A community that may be removed from hexbear is the https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore so please indicate your opinion on this community if you have one.

As usual please use

dean-smile if you would like lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list

dean-frown if you would like lemmy.ca to not be added to our allow-list

We will leave this post unlocked for a few days before making the decision, thank you. Users may also use this post for a general discussion on federation including naming instances for federation/defederation or feedback for the hexbear admin/mod team.

That second citation for “general trolling” is fucking hilarious

I salute you @[email protected] and @[email protected]

Unless .ca is ok with more of this, I concur I don’t think it will work out. I don’t mind the chaos though tbh.

Did we get defed'd? Do i get a medal for co-defeating kkklanada?

Reading their year-iold discussion about defedding, and honestly what they did to themselves arguing about us was much, much worse than anything we did to them. Smdh someone tried to drag roman law in as some kind of justification for the ethics of land lordism!

Yes but you have to return the medal if we re-fed.
