Update: Due to overwhelming support for defederation, we will be going through with that at 12am Moscow time (approx. 8hrs from now). Thanks to everyone who provided their feedback.
It’s come to our attention that the admins of europe.pub are allowing pro-genocide rhetoric and Nazi propaganda to be freely posted on their instance.
Additionally, the main perpetrator has been promoted to moderator on the [email protected] comm where they consistently post pro-ukrainian-nazi propaganda and wish death upon the Russian people.
Due to these factors and the unwillingness of europe.pub admins to act, we are holding a vote to defederate from their instance. Please comment with either an emote or yes/no to the question: should we defederate from europe.pub?
or “Yes” - Defederate
or “No” - Remain federated
Sure but I don’t think Ada wants to, another user recommended a vote so I can look at what lbz communities to remove and we can go from there
Why do we care about Ada?
Because we can’t federate with lemmy blahaj zone (lbz) while she has hexbear on the blocklist. So any vote for hexbear users to federate with lbz would be symbolic
She’s the sole Mod? Tf
She and her wife are the only 2 admins of that instance. Their individual communities have more mods but if the admins choose not to federate then anything we do on our end is useless
