Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue.
We have attempted to make good-faith parley with both the instance admin and the comm moderators, but we've reached a point which we feel that until these behaviors are addressed by instance administration, we can no longer continue to federate in good-faith while our users are being actively invalidated by a small-but-vocal portion of the forum. Once we are confident that these behaviors have ceased and are unlikely to continue, we are more-than-happy to refederate in the name of queer solidarity.
Thanks for bearing with us :07:
Before I found hexbear, you could not have convinced me that I would actually LIKE the moderators of an online community. Now I see that it's possible!
same, I'm used to dunking on mods lmao
Under Communism, you get the good mods.

Also congrats, I didn't know you were a mod
Much appreciate comrade
That being said, its still good to always keep an eye on what leadership is doing to make sure they're holding the line and not succumbing to revisionism and reactionary attitudes. The same basic degradation that happened in USSR can happen in any leftist project. But I have a ton of faith in the admins here and the rest of the mod team, we've got something special.
