Refederation with lemmy.ca discussion

as long as .ca understands nothing will fundamentally change from the hexbear population.

I don’t think we should ever re-fed in bad faith or because it would be funny. If we know it won’t work, then we shouldn’t do it. But my hope here is that .ca has shed some of its former redditiness and is more willing to talk to non-liberals.

I should not need to explain, I am always open to reaching people.

that site has like 20 daily users, i dont think we’ll even notice they’re federated unless a hapless lib accidently steps in it.

If we do refederate, can each community display each other's code of conduct for around a week before actually federating? They need to understand their reddit liberalism isn't acceptable in this corner.

From what I've seen, the .ca has a lot of reactionary posters.

https://lemmy.ca/c/fediverselore ban this from Hexbear if ca gets federated. Spaces exclusively about internet drama are bad for the soul

What's the point of being online if people aren't even seeing the propaganda we post

As long you keep this place save, Im happy

No, these lemmy fuckers come in here and harass trans comrades.

I think the ideal situation is federating with as many places as possible (with exceptions for nazis and such ofc) but very loosely pressing the ban button, like how the dbzero mods are banned here but not the instance itself. I know that creates more work for the mods though, but since ya'll suggested it, I assume you considered that.

sh.itjust.works can fuck off forever

Uhh sure, we can give it a go. But based on last experience I don't think their userbase is going to handle it well

why did they add hexbear to the blocklist in the first place, i need the lore

I think it's funny that by getting lemmy.ca domain this website represents all of kkkanada in the lemmyverse. knowing kkkanadians i bet that weighs heavily on the maintainers. they perhaps even wish to subdue and recuperate hexbear on behalf of liberalism.

I'm breaking my policy of being a non voting felon to

I have some scathing (but truthful) things to say to the official NDP community over there.

(note: I post on their Reddit community, also being a fly in the soup on occasion.)

i don't trust these northerners with their strange ways

Hello users of hexbear, we have started discussions with an admin of lemmy.ca

Are they still gonna be mad if someone calls for death of landlords?

Canadians cannot be trusted, they'll apologize just because it gets them off.

Not all Lemmy.ca users are bad-faith, and the ones who are can be dealt with individually. Having access to PCGaming would be fun, Games is my preferred gaming community but not everything is posted there at the moment, so I miss major news.

Plus, agitprop is a good thing.

Specific communities can be blocked if necessary, but overall I feel like more people seeing Hexbear is a good thing.

I'm down to give it another shot with them. I fully expect this to end in defederation though. That place is full of the usual mug russian propaganda muh election muh civility crap. But they deserve better than being dominated by .world forever.

as of time of posting, my vote count is: 27 for | 8 against (this includes me)

I think we can take this down tbh considering their admin threw in the towel already

But it would have been funny

Ready for more ppb I see

I would like to officially abstain

• Hexbear or Lemmy.ca can defederate from a specific community if federating with that community becomes a problem
• Hexbear has already made some communities local-only, which makes those communities unaffected by federating

If this is a representative of the average poster in .ca, I don't think Refed will end well.

I'm neutral - I tend to browse mostly Local anyway. Too many unfunny memes when I get off Hexbear

Don't Canadians praise Nazis?

KKKlanada's largest impact on American culture is a parody song by Weird Al.

Do we have any reason to believe they've improved?

lemmy.ca is full of typical reddit users, ie. a shitload of landlords and landlord-sympathizers

normally I wouldn't want to associate with such people, but this is exactly the place to post "fuck landlords" at them so

It won't last, but I say refederate with .ca. Make them show their ass and be the ones to defederate from us for obviously bullshit, turbolib lemmitor reasons. Maybe we'll peel off some of the few leftists who've found themselves stuck there.

Kkkanadians stay losing

Generally, more federation = more good

Maple syrup for the maple syrup gods

Death to Canada

seeing the threads there made me realise just how misunderstood you all are by the other instances. i think atp i interact here more than my own instance

I wasn't going to vote but the lemmy.ca post about the refederation that's quoting our illustrious ursine comments from this post has convinced me...
