I guess the post got 1984'd because I don't see it anymore.

The post-Hexbear Blahaj really is something else.

[–] epicspongee@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can someone explain what happened? Been gone for a few days. From my understanding the admin of Blahaj didn't handle some stuff well and so Hexbear defederated from Blahaj, but that's the last I heard. Did we refederate or...?

No, that's mostly it. Basically Blahaj was starting a lot of bad-faith arguments, their mods were deliberately trying to wreck conversations, they seriously failed to address the repeated spouting of transphobia and chasers on their own instance, and the admin either couldn't or wouldn't address the problem.

That's why we defederated, and since then Blahaj users actually seem to be significantly more aware and outspoken that their own instance is actually plagued by these issues. They also seem to live in the constant fear that the Hexbears are secretly 'brigading' every thread and vote they ever have now. So it's been an interesting change in attitude to see.
