It has become clear to us that even in the short while we’ve federated, the situation with sh.itholefor.nazis is entirely untenable and we will be defederating immediately. Multiple instances of ableist and homophobic slurs directed at our users, overwhelming litigiousness against even the most innocuous comments by our users, and just a general ethos of reactionary behavior. We’re done and out.
One of the concerns with embracing TC69 thought on site bans with federation is that the user would basically be just hexbear-side hidden and blocked from our comms, free to post reactionary content without the fear of Lenin behind them. That was a silly concern. We will resume our pre-federation policies regarding site bans.

Don't understand the need to defederate from programming dot dev (though I have to deal with techbros every day so I'm probably desensitised) but yeah I couldn't see staying federated with shit just works, well working. They were going to defederate from us anyways judging by their userbase's reaction. So right decision there.
I was onboard with federating with them at first, but then saw their mod and how the entire userbase defends racism. Their head mod was saying we had an opportunity to spread socialism with them and we were ruining it. Like that we're supposed to be nice and pleasant on the internet and that's how you're supposed to grow socialism. He dismissed unionizing, organizing, and even electoralism. Instead he said we're responsible for pushing people away from communism with our online behavior. It was weird and the guy is a moron.
In the upcoming socialist utopia, every white person gets a free N-word pass.
This is like next level tone arguments. I know plenty of people like that, often individualists who themselves did not manage to turn a significant number of people towards socialism.
And what were we doing to push them away? We were telling them that taking an image of Xi Jinping and coloring his skin yellow comes across as racist. If anything we were the ones telling them how to correct their image, yet they all unanimously said we're too impolite or too childish. Just the silliest people alive over there.
