Edit - Hexbear announced plans to deferedate from us.

==

~~After recent events, it feels to me that sentiment has shifted and more people are asking for defederation of hexbear than previously~~

~~I've been doing my best to try and mend bridges and keep us connected, as it's my hope that we can maintain trans solidarity and work with them, despite the friction, however, ultimately, I feel that this is an issue for the blahaj lemmy community to decide, not the admins alone~~

~~So here's what we're going to do~~

~~We're going to leave things as they are for a week. That will give time for things to calm down whilst we see if we can work together. After a week, I'll put up a vote and get a feel for where the community is at in regards to our continued federation with hexbear. That poll will run for a week. If there is a strong will to defederate (a clear majority), then that's what we will do~~

This exactly! In posts about defederating, they're commenting like war documents and saying that if you live in the US you're in support of them commiting genocide. And the amount of comments I've seen with nearly identical wording about how Cuba is the most LGBTQ+ friendly country in the world.

Like ok, yeah, the US is a horrible country that's committed war crimes, and maybe Cuba is LGBTQ+ friendly, I don't really know, but that has absolutely nothing to do with defederating from an internet forum. They have a very holier than thou vibe.
