Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

  You need to do a much better job taking out your trash than this. Chiding him for saying the quiet part out loud is basically saying you should be defederated as a hate instance.

    I’m not an admin or a mod for Hexbear, so I don’t have the power to dictate what other users say or to remove their comments. My point was this message was needlessly hostile against an instance admin who is acting in good faith and apologizing for a previous action against one of our users. I was politely telling him to cool off and be nice. I apologize if my comment was misinterpreted as an endorsement of what he said. That said, while I understand many users aren’t fond of us at Hexbear, I would appreciate if you would not immediately jump to the worst possible interpretations of our comments.

      It was an extremely bigoted, vulgar, personal attack on an admin in his own thread about why Hexbear deserves a second chance.

      An utterly vile statement like that followed by your soft “time and place” non-rebuke does not deserve any benefit of the doubt so yes, I will absolutely jump to the obvious interpretation. Especially in a thread about continued unacceptable Hexbear behavior. “Read the room” indeed.

        Sure, no arguments there.

        Okay, but I’ve already clarified that I didn’t agree with what he said, and all I was trying to say was “be nice.” You obviously want less needless hostility from Hexbear users towards other instances, and I want that, too. Please afford us the same respect.

        Especially in a thread about continued unacceptable Hexbear behavior. “Read the room” indeed.

        In the same message the admin has also asked all users to “Be kind to each other, even if you disagree.” I’m respecting that request by trying to have a polite discussion with the users in this instance, but I have received nothing but hostility from you in return.
