Two years ago, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The announcement thread can be found here: https://www.Chapo.Chat/PPB. After reviewing the thread and the comments, it became evident that allowing Hexbear to federate would violate our rules.
Our code of conduct and server rules can be found here.
The announcement included several revisionist statements, as highlighted below:
“pee pee poo poo"
The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “piss” and "shidd” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "farding.” It’s mainly to push their pigs with clean balls.
In addition, several comments from a Hexbear admin, demonstrate that Chapo.chat rules will not be respected.
Here are some examples:
“I can assure you there will be no pissing and shidding.”
“All loyal, honest, active and upright Liberals must collect all 11 liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and summon the forbidden 12th form of liberalism.”
To clarify, for those who have inquired about why Hexbear versus Reddit, it should be noted that we are currently exploring the possibility of defederating from Reddit as well based on similar comments Hexbear has made.
Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, only liberalism can be expected.
I made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear for these reasons. While I understand that not everyone may agree with my decision, as site admin of Chapo.Chat I believe it is important to unilaterally make decisions for everyone.–
The only reason I came back to this site after you knuckleheads changed the name is because we were federating.
Can someone give me like, a 3 sentence translation of this?
I think it’s a copypasta of the/a lemmy dot world admin in why they should preemptively defed from us?
as @[email protected] said, it’s a parody of the lemmy dot world admin announcement regarding their decision to preemptively defederate from hexbear.net shortly before we joined the lemmyverse. hexbeat.net is a lemmy instance created a little over 3 years ago before federation was even a feature, and it quickly forked for a variety of reasons and it’s only recently that our glorious devs completed the merger with lemmy and gave us the ability to federate.
chapo.chat is the original name for hexbear.net, it was changed about a year into the site’s existence. so the joke here is that @[email protected] is announcing that we’re preemptively defederating from ourselves.
