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:
So they can't play the victim. One of their mods have been exposed for being an ableist shithead, and many people there are very angry about this fact and rightfully so, regardless of what they feel about Hexbear. Now that they can't use our giant emotes as an excuse, they're going to either have a struggle session to purge the mod or have a massive hemorrhaging of users as the instance is fully taken over by ableist chasers.
Very cool, going for a 4d game of thrones scheme instead of my caveman insults. In awe of our mastermind posters
