Say “aye” or yes" if you are in favour defederation.
Say “nay” or “no” if you are against defederation.
Only users who have a sh.itjust.works account can vote. Fresh accounts won’t be counted.

Yes.
I’m sensitive to racial issues but the way they go about discussing them devalues them in the same way that I used to devalue them, and reliving my mistakes in every comment section is killing me. Also, everything turns into twitch chat after they arrive.
nay
Aye.
I knew that the toxicity of reddit was affecting me, but I didn’t realize just how much until the move to Lemmy back in June. Everything was just so nice, people just happily chatted in comments, most disagreements were talked through or an “agree to disagree” arrangement was reached. Seeing the rude, angry people and the trolls creep back in was so disappointing (though I do realize it’s inevitable. I used to mod forums back in the day.) Having a good chunk of those negative types on one instances is a positive thing, though. With the tools at hand, we can nip it in the bud by just blocking the lot of them.
Something I think people forget in all these many posts about blocking instances is that blocking is not a permanent thing. The mods aren’t hitting the big red button and nuking the instance from existence forever. It can be undone. Times change, people change, forums/subreddits/instances change as they age. If it looks like things may have improved in a blocked instance, the ban can be lifted.
Aye.
I was going to vote against it on principle, but I’m just really tired of their shit.
Aye. They’re more or less another Exploding Heads: an echo chamber with a potent and very precise set of opinions which they smear all over any wall they can find.
I’m just sitting here on Kbin wondering what the hell is happening, and eating a cookie.
Anyone else want a cookie? They’re peanut butter chocolate chip!
Edit: oh ok I read about whats happening. Wow. What a mess. You guys seem to hate eachother with a passion so I feel like defederating is the only way to keep things from being a constant flame war. Though I will say I definitely lean towards the “hexbear is a little batshit” side of the argument lol.
No
I’m not a shitjustworks user, but No. Allow individual people to block Hexbear if they wish to, but also keep it federated so those who want to talk to hexbear users can.
there’s no option to block instances yet
But you can block every community in it, it will take you like two minutes.
That doesn’t help when they come into local communities to stir up drama
No
This is dumb drama shit.
Why can’t you dorks just stay in your own lanes. Read the instance you’re on and don’t deliberately be a dickwad against some viewpoint you don’t fully understand
Nay, I don’t really see any problem woth their content or posts. Not that I agree with what they say and some of their communities, but for example their games community has interesting content.
no
deleted by creator
No.
Individual sh.itjust.works users can block instances and communities, and mods can ban hexbear users that break community rules. I’m not convinced that defederation is needed (yet), but open to being proven otherwise.
Nay
