I had the same reaction. .zip had some votes on this in the past and didn’t defed from HB at that time so I guess this is a later compromise? My opinion is that a “disable to unblock” option is much closer to defederation than not. .ee wasn’t defederated from you either, right?

Yeah, it was the compromise, my understanding is they wanted fewer people to complain about Hexbear, so now few see Hexbear.

And yes, .ee wasn’t de-federated from us, but they de-federated from basically no-one. Load from them having to moderate arguments with Hexbear users has at least a little bit to do with the closure.

  Hex users unhappy about default blocks. Supporters of defed unhappy that it isn’t full defed. Admins probably not overjoyed to have to be dealing with it either way.
  
  Nobody completely satisfied, so it’s a true compromise.
