Keep them around but their admins are the most online dorks I've ever encountered. Complete basement dweller nerd stereotypes and every interaction I've seen with them has been unbearable.

90% of bad takes come from this instance

I have a dbzer0 account to use for getting piracy info but I don't go there regularly because the place is full of AI fake art and shitlibs. old. /r/piracy is somehow better than dbzer0 because at least it doesn't have the AI shit and has some rad people on it. I say defed. People can go to dbzer0 for their piracy needs, and we do have a piracy comm here which we could try to make it a good resource for piracy for comrades instead.

EDIT: I have been informed we do not actually have a piracy comm. I still support defederating on the grounds that a space run by fascists (dbzer0) is only going to get more fascist, but I would like us to have a piracy comm. I unfortunately do not have the time to moderate it so I cannot be the change I wish to see in Hexbear.

It's not a big deal.

They seem to have enough good users to keep around. I would still suggest we get our own piracy comm here and pilfer their good posters. They've got some trash in their ranks as well, but nothing we can't handle. If we bring their good posters over here and then cut em loose, that sounds good but let's let it get to that point first. As far as most instances go at this point, I feel they're trapped here with us.

So my vote is stay federated but like, in a hostile way.

:dean-frown

I think they should be drone striked tbh

Fuck em. Don't do them any favors, and let them entertain us. I hope we absorb a ton of their mental bandwidth

It's not just the misogynist and transphobic techbros or the godawful takes on foreign policy that are the problem here, the worst is what a bunch of disgusting bad faith debate perverts they are. I've always said fuck dbzer0, i continue to say it. Defed from these V*ushite mfers.

Usually I'm big on defedding from DB0, but tbh staying federated and leaving their admins banned is a really really good bit

Do the votes matter this time or...?

Abstain

Put my vote in with the winning side

because this seems to be the popular opinion right now.

Unless banning these leads to ban evasion and/or more drama. Hopefully it can just end with bans?

but all admins should be banned going forward
