This is an admin post, intended for blahaj lemmy users. Top level posts from members of other instances will be removed.

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~~

At this point I don't think we should defederate.

How will the vote take place? Is there a way to ensure only non-new Blahaj Lemmy accounts participate?

[-] ada 12 points 2 years ago

Yes. The answer is SQL and database queries :)

Thank you, Ada, for your hard work.

I'm not sure about them now. I've recently had some good interactions with the users, and they do have some good memes. They are also very accepting of lgbtq (which is part of why I joined this instance). On another hand, some of their communities do post questionable stuff. Maybe we could do what lemmy.world did and block some of their communities but not the whole instance? I don't know how feasible that would be though.
