Isn’t this “celebration” premature?

No bulk requests. That means one comm request per post. This is so we can sort out their interest individually.
Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

Yah, this makes me sad. I don’t understand some of the stuff that goes on in this instance (and I’ve never listened to Chapo) buuuuut there’s some based-ass sub…lemmies here.
Are y’all federated with furry shit? I don’t want to switch to my other account but whatevz, I could manage.
I think the big furry instances preemptively defederated us for being tankies or whatever
We do have this though: https://hexbear.net/c/furry
I was never a Chapo listener, and 1) the Hexbear consensus is that Chapo isn’t what it used to be anyway, and 2) Hexbear isn’t really very dirtbag in their leftism these days, and if it ever was that was before my time.
I can’t speak to furry whatevers, you’ll have to see for yourself. I think there are way more instances defederated from Hexbear than the other way around.
I’m not entirely sure how federation even works. If y’all defed, I’ll stop seeing yer posts, right?
That’s the long and short of it, yes. You’d stop seeing our communities, posts, votes, and comment threads, meaning our comments and everyone’s replies to those comments.
how is it not dirtbag? I've seen people get very aggro when talking to libs and rightwingers from other instances
I’m not getting into some nerd-ass struggle session about the Merriam-Webster definition of dirtbag, 
.
guilty as charged, i joined from the blahaj zone instance after the defederation drama and have never really been into the local culture :|
I always thought the "dirtbag" in "dirtbag leftist" referred more to the use of slurs and bigoted/ablesist/etc language and less about the aggressiveness in their comments. 
not a celebration, but yeah a little premature. i still think a piracy comm is a good idea regardless of federation or defederation though.
I can volunteer for piracy mod duty as well. Its my anarcho-duty after all
THE VOTE ISN'T EVEN OVER YET SETTLE DOWN
We really ought to do that anyway though, I'm surprised we haven't already
Am happy to mod if wanted
Hell yeah 
I highly doubt de-federation is going to go through. We should still have a piracy comm though.
We can call the comm /c/gratis for all our free-as-in-free-beer software needs if an explicit piracy comm is too spicy.
no need to worry about spice, but /c/gratis is a good name.
I think that's a bad idea, would confuse people looking for piracy, also would confuse people looking for categories of free stuff that aren't specifically piracy.
I like gratis better regardless of spice.
I‘m out of the loop. Why is it happening?
db0 and unruffled were being assholes to hexbears (db0 specifically harrassed a hexbear user in the DM's) mainly. but also mods of c/piracy removed a meme for being "tankie adjacent" when the meme was about people who defend corporations.
ah, crap. I hope it doesn‘t happen, especially since these 2 instances share at least some ideas.
yeah i personally think that there are too many good users to defed because of two admins being total losers
Nooo I like you guys (mostly, except the loons who dog piled me once for apparently being a sock puppet of DB0) but hexbear is defedded from other instances I use.
I don't want to have to make like 5 different account, forget which one I'm logged into, and get banned hexbear for speaking like a moderate when trying to influence libs :p
thankfully it looks like the vote isn't gonna defed.
Hail to the benevolence of hexbear.
Seriously I'd miss you guys, I see some takes I absofuckinglutely disagree with but more that are interesting or reasonable and it's a much better ratio than the gen pop of world/shitjust/lemee.ee who seem amazingly blind to the blood and agony that underpins the current global order.
these 2 instances share at least some ideas.
Tell that to your admins, see how it goes
I haven't heard about the thing with db0, where did that happen?
I'm also happy to mod if need be. I've moderated pirate communities before and would love to do something that helps this fabulous website.
Very much not defedding lol
yeah, that's clear now but in my opinion we still need a piracy comm
u rite
