Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? (sh.itjust.works)

If so, was it polled somewhere?

What the actual fuck is wrong with admins of SJW?

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that's well underway over here.

Thought this instance puts things to vote so yeah, duck you too, goodbye.

You’re welcome to join hexbear. We had a big ol vote about this and are trying to create communities for the people that want a respite from federated posts and content!

But more seriously, this wasn't a vote for us to have. We hadn't actually defederated from them in the first place. Their instance is one of the few set to whitelist only. Instead of federating with everyone by default and defederating by adding URLs to a blacklist, they exclusively select instances to federate with by their admins manually adding them to their allow list.

So it was their instance that decided to add us to their list of instances they'll interact with. No change was made at sh.itjust.works without local user consultation. If you have concerns with this there is a recent discussion post at the !agora@sh.itjust.works

Yo I just got your abbreviation! That's pretty neat

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, garbage post. I expect we'll see discussion/vote for defederation soon, though. I'd like to hear from TheDude as his stance made a lot more sense when we were defederating from exploding-heads.

Discussion thread is ongoing as we speak.

And of course it is flooded with shitposts from hexbear users busy proving themselves exactly what they attempt to deny that they aren't.

Why would you vote on whether or not Hexbear decides to federate?

SJW federates with everyone and then defederates from things that are a problem. SJW isn't the one taking any action here, it is Hexbears decision to turn on federation, SJW has changed nothing that required voting on.
