Defederating from Hexbear.net
(startrek.website)
Thank you, the comments were getting pretty rough the last couple days.
Oh thank goodness. I like this instance a lot but the hexbear spam was annoying.
what spam?
too little too late, but they needed to be a little less locutus and a little more jean-luc.
they are like very online. or something. I can't tell and I don't wanna know. good riddance.
For anyone on a different server, you can always personally defederated from a server under Settings in the Block tab at the very bottom. I eventually ended up being defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml.
Yes, I strongly encourage people to curate their own experience.
Thank you for your service.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

+1 for using Bookstack.
We use that at work for some internal documentation. Love it.
Bookstack is great!
What?
The link to their Terms of Service in the post is running on an open-source wiki software called "Bookstack".
Oh, thanks for explaining!
I've heard of stray comments on Lemmy, was 100% sure this was one of those.
Its an amazing tool. No one else at my work wants to adopt it so it is my personal documentation app.
I trust you'll defed from .world too right?
I trust you'll defed from ~~.world~~ .ml too right?
FTFY. Your instance is just hexbear/lemmygrad lite
It's not propaganda when liberalism
Seriously! When I browse "all" the timeline is absolutely choked with insipid liberal political propaganda coming from .world.
Not propaganda when mods agree with it, duh. I look forward to people cheering this defederation crying "censorship" when they post an unhinged rant on an ml instance and get moderated.
I love when bigoted instances make themselves known so openly. Sucks you people never learned any values presented in Star Trek.
Ew look, a bOrG
hangs out on a Star Trek instance
demands ban of everybody but total capitalism simps
This, kids, is what is known as "ragebait". Very lame ragebait, may I add.
What took so long?
Defederation is the nuclear option. Until now we had removed any communities we weren't comfortable hosting, and treated users on a case-by-case basis based on how they behaved in our communities, which worked for a while but became untenable.
When we started this project the admin team felt that welcoming outsiders into our (wholesome, sane) Star Trek communities was the net-positive action. But as I said it became too much to handle so we unfortunately had to cut the cord.
Good move.

Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
