db0 and Unruffled have both been banned for reactionary behavior and, in the case of the former, DM harassment.
Due to these irreconcilable differences we thought it only right to allow the community to weigh in on defederating immediately.
According to this person “tankie” is anyone that criticizes the privilege of white westerners in the imperial core who have been privileged and comfortable their entire lives off of the backs of colonized people.

As always, use 
to vote for federation and 
to vote for defederation.
it’s really funny to be federated with an instance that we’ve banned the admins of and I want to maintain the bit for as long as possible because they’re the only abject toxic actors that there’s an actual conundrum dealing with on the site, and they’re dealt with, so unless they pull some bullshit with socks/targetted fuckery through some abuse of federation which would get them seen as a bad actor not just on hexbear, it’s not a problem. No matter what, the outcome is funny and/or pathetic.
also love that part of the tide shift on this is people realizing how funny the current situation is
