What instance was that? And Hexbear is something like 80% or maybe even 90% LGBTQ, while not being explicitly an LGBTQ instance, so what exactly does it say about us when Western, still mostly white, mostly liberal instances defederate us? That we’re suddenly queerphobic or that crackers be cracking?
Yup, most likely. And it’s very ironic that they point to that when we got defedded over their admin trying to watch out for the interests of a moderator who would end up switching to a different instance when Ada took the same stances on pronouns that Hexbear had taken years earlier.
Assuming you’re talking about moss (the admin, not the plant), she mentioned that they didn’t try to leave because of anything due to neopronouns (and she mentioned this is the post).
It was because of Ada moderating communities as well, and being (in her opinion), overbearing.

Wasn’t all of that done when some of the cis members of the community were getting extremely angry at Ada for the new pronouns moderation? Like, sure, they stated it wasn’t because of the new pronoun position, but it seems pretty clear that Ada embraced a position that was closer to the hardline pro-trans position of Hexbear and it pushed a ton of people away.
And yeah, we have them defedded because of chasers in their 196 comm making our trans users feel unsafe.
Anyway, I don’t think people were really pushed away from LBZ, it was just the 196 thing and a few people gettin banned for pissing themselves about neopronouns.
In any case, the 196 community wanted to stay, the alternate comm is more popular (by MAU) than the original.

I think they’re talking about lemmy.blahaj.zone.

FWIW, the migration was botched, and everyone’s at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone now.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t hexbear also block LBZ? If so, why’s that?

Upon closer look, you guys didn’t block them: hexbear.net/instances
