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
lemmy.ca to be added to our allow-list
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.
as long as .ca understands nothing will fundamentally change from the hexbear population.
I don’t think we should ever re-fed in bad faith or because it would be funny. If we know it won’t work, then we shouldn’t do it. But my hope here is that .ca has shed some of its former redditiness and is more willing to talk to non-liberals.
If they punt all the ukronazis out of their govenrment and stop making war on the first natioons i promise to be civil.
Is America much different? I would rather not be associated with my government’s actions and I’m sure plenty of Canadians feel the same
Unfortunately given the family history of Chrystia Freeland, we’re unlikely to see a course-reversal on Canada’s undying support for Ukrainian fascists. In a just world, her nazi maternal grandfather would have been shot on sight instead of given citizenship.
that site has like 20 daily users, i dont think we’ll even notice they’re federated unless a hapless lib accidently steps in it.
I should not need to explain, I am always open to reaching people.
If we do refederate, can each community display each other’s code of conduct for around a week before actually federating? They need to understand their reddit liberalism isn’t acceptable in this corner.
From what I’ve seen, the .ca has a lot of reactionary posters.
