Do you think it is possible then that there was a delay in reports on hexbear, regarding posts criticizing db0? Did @db0 even report any of the posts referenced in the image? If you moderated a user and that user then sent you a message calling you a piece of shit, would you expect your admin to stand up for you and ban the person harassing you?

Neither I nor any other hexbear user complain about the myriad of posts or comments slandering hexbear users their mods/admins that come out every single day, yet a small portion of these come for db0 (which are now moderated to the best of my knowledge) and there is a big problem.

I would like to remind you that timezones exist, and I am in MSK time zone and there are delays compared to those in others.

I’ve reviewed the past week of reports and literally see 0 made by you. Outside of reports I’ve asked any posts made regarding db0 mods or admins to be removed, if I’ve missed any that specifically reference you or others please let me know, and I’ll address them in context of community/site code of conduct. I apologize if there are any that were allowed to stay up for an extended period of time.

Commenting is not the same as the report function. Yes, I do trust the hexbear moderators to handle their communities as they see fit, if you were to see the amount of posts/comments on hexbear you could understand the need to delegate. In addition, I personally believe in horizontal power and entrusting the site to those that stand up to take responsibility for the community. There is an established method for questioning mod decisions, either the feedback or hexbear community. I recognize that it may be unclear to non-local users, if I may what is the db0 process for handling disputes for mod actions?

Do you think that if one of your moderators was sent a direct message calling them a piece of shit, you would act differently?

I dispute the accusation that there were 10 different posts, rather there were three that are removed. If there are others, please send me the link so that they can be addressed.

Is it fair to expect the admins to individually review over 3 million comments without having reports to guide us to those made in violation of rules?

Have you ever done a lemmy search for “hexbear”?

I think you will find there are many threads flinging insults and disinfo about us and I would say that I don’t feel the need to defend, in fact had you or Unruffled heeded my advice about making a non-admin account to comment/post on we would not be in this situation.

Based upon the praise in this thread and in the hexbear vote regarding db0 you would see the positive outweigh the negative of you and your instance.

as a Hexbear admin I endorse this statement, fantastic tagline thank you

C4RC0S4, 10 days ago

Nor do I have hate for you or the /0 instance in fact in the vote post majority of the hexbear users feel the same way.

There are no downvotes and the culture of commenting dissent might make it feel like there are so many that want to burn the bridge but based on every instance wide federation check in more enjoy /0 and the users than dislike.

I used an alt because you are banned from hexbear so posts you make don’t show up, i guess I could’ve done it in matrix but decided to do it publically. Yeah I care about you and your opinion over every other instance (except the .ml ones, tankies gotta stick together) and despite what you may think didn’t want to ban you. Getting a

If you want to develop a culture where users feel safe to report direct messages you need to act on them regardless of who they are. I’ve banned many longtime hexbear users and moderators for the same thing.

I’ve removed all the posts regarding you and Unruffled that I was aware of and didn’t know that the pfp post was even about you, the primary account I use has avatars disabled. Reporting that post would have helped in getting it addressed. For what it’s worth the person you direct messaged actually removed one of the posts about you after it was reported.

Moderation can always improve, just as there were criticisms of the way that the meme in /c/piracy was handled there are criticisms to be made of how moderation is on hexbear communities. Just as there is hate and animosity towards /0 users and admins there is hate and animosity towards hexbear users and admins.

I said you were banned for dm harassment of a moderator, as that is what happened. Had you said the same thing in a comment the action would have likely been different. I apologize that you’ve received harassing direct messages and for the unreliable cross-instance reporting.

It is the responsibility of both moderator and user to cultivate a community. With active moderation on one hand and reporting on the other. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize moderation without doing your part.

I’m saddened that this ended up how it did and apologize for any stress you experienced.

I won’t be logging back onto this account for awhile, thanks for your previous comment and i wish you the best.

Timezones are a fuck but what was left out of the below response was:

I messaged Ada to ask the 196 mods if they would consider removing the “fuck tankies” banner as multiple trans users expressed they didn’t feel welcome due to being labeled a tankie (it is a generic insult for anyone more left than the person using the word, anarchists have been called it). She said that she didn’t feel comfortable doing that, which is valid, and said I could DM them.

I DMed them asking if they would consider removing the banner and explained why. I did not get a response, instead a screenshot of my DM was pinned to the community along with an ableist slur. This DM leak post/slur was left up for over a day, finally the moderator used paint to partially obscure the image and put up a passive-aggressive comment about being tone policed.

All the mod had to do was say “lol no, fuck tankies” and I would’ve dropped it, but it is a huge red flag when someone in charge of stewarding a community on an instance dedicated to marginalized people (which I am) chooses to publically ridicule rather than talk. This is after I asked the community mods of the dunk tank to change their rules to ensure that no other admins or mods could be posted to the community, which they did and the “people of NATO” post that referenced a lemmy.blahaj admin/mod was removed.

That mod is still on the 196 team, while anyone doing such a thing on hexbear would be demodded and permabanned. I think ultimately there is a significant disconnect between moderation expectations and actions resulting in the sustained defederation. We’ve put up user polls on refederation twice since this happened, and hexbear users overwhelmingly do not wish to refederate.

I am saddened by this in part because I think Ada is a great person and that the instance is great, other than 196. With transphobia a problem in a large part of the lemmy-verse supporting each other and sticking together despite any political disagreements is very important and look forward to cultivating a thriving, safe, and positive trans space in this corner of the fediverse with all of you.

both lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are defederated from hexbear??? hexbear has also blocked lemmy.world no investigation = no right to speak

Majority of the hexbear admin & mod team are trans.

Don’t lie, you didn’t try anything with hexbear.

Lemmy.world: “Defederation should only be considered as a last resort … We made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear”

Hilarious, after you hand-wrung about defederating exploding heads while they DM harassed your moderators and posted clearly racist/homophobic/transphobic/etc. posts and comments.

How is the evidence even remotely comparable?

The “proof” in the hexbear defederation post has nothing to do with a “call out for total war with other instances” but nice try again with the lies. The comments show that hexbear believes it has an ideological duty to engage in discussion on any current event, post of politics, or news post. The post links states clearly that “breaking the hexbear code of conduct on another instance will result in a ban on hexbear” I’ve compared the lemmy.world terms of service and the hexbear one and can’t find any difference so how exactly is hexbear telling its users to engage in other instances posts while respecting their code of conduct something deserving of “preemptive defederation”

I accept your apology, Antik made the same one. It is clear that lemmy.world had no desire to have a dedicated leftist community federated, which is fine, just say that you are defederated for ideological/political differences. If you want to create the neoliberal instance, more power to you, but to say anything otherwise requires actual proof rather than vague claims.

So you can try out a well-known instance of fascist trolls that frequently used slurs as well as made posts explicitly describing what instance to sign up on, and what posts to target with copy/paste, slur-ridden messages? However, an instance that wants to engage in sourced discussion of current events receives a “last resort, preemptive defederation” this massive disparity in response shows that the admins of lemmy.world are willing to give hateful nazi instances a chance, but won’t even let a leftist instance in the door.

Double the reports of what?? There could not have been any user reports of hexbear posts/comments as IT NEVER EVEN FEDERATED with lemmy.world. You won’t even remove @FirstMajesticComet communities from lemmy.world

Happy Birthday! Glad you are here in the lemmy-verse!

Hexbear has downvotes disabled, so unless you are concerned about their rogue upvotes you will be ok.

hexbear has a deal with the lemmy developers to prevent users from avoiding their content

Modern russia is a deplorable oligarchy, china has trans healthcare clinics for children in tier 1 cities.

C4RC0S4, 6 months ago

And also lost more people than any other nation, and does not exist today. I agree modern Russia is not friendly, you are incorrect on China. There are non-governmental agencies that track the amount of trans muders and they also agree that the rates of murder are dramatically lower.

Compare independant data sources on the average person’s happiness, home ownership, access to quality healthcare, for the United States and China and one can come to their own conclusion that China is better than the United States not from sheer contrarianism. It is clear from the failure of Biden and the electroral trend towards conservatism that the democratic safeguards are not as pure as you make them out to be. There are material criticisms to be made against China, and in fact I personally have critical support for them.

What is your solution for government then if a mixed economy is not viable? One cannot be so lucky as the Nordics to exploit the global south

C4RC0S4, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

There is nothing in the sidebar of the community nor did the original poster imply or specify they wanted only lemmy.blahaj.zone local users to participate. If you notice in the Admin Update - Hexbear post and the Hexbear Discussion Round 2 posts the amount of hexbear users was much lower, in fact a hexbear user was banned for participating in meta threads.

The Federated Code of Conduct post supercedes the previous comment I made, I apologize I should have edited my comment to say “I am formally requesting hexbear user to cease commenting in this meta post.”

I do want to say that user level instance blocking is in the works: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

C4RC0S4, 9 months ago

Where do you see this?

C4RC0S4, 9 months ago

But lemmy.blahaj.zone has not blocked hexbear.net I just went into the lemmy.blahaj.zone/instances and hexbear is still linked.

C4RC0S4, 9 months ago

My DMs on Matrix, here, or even Hexbear itself are always open. We wanted to add this instance as solidarity between trans mod teams on the lemmy-verse is very important to us. The Hexbear mod team is over 50% trans and the Hexbear user base trends heavily in that direction as well, as such any concerns you have I would appretiate discussing before action is taken. Thank you

hexbear.net is a large unfederated lemmy fork (on lemmy 0.18) with a custom feature that displays pronouns inline with user names and over half the moderation/admin team are LGBTQ+ the site is left-unity and activly removes any homophobic, transphobic, or racist comments/posts.
