Thank you to the voters that said the dbzer0 posters are cool, though someone said something like “I never noticibly noticed any user from that comm” and I feel personally affronted

I noticed you comrade, and for what it’s worth I was fully when I cast my vote to defederate on principle. We would have welcomed you and the other cool folks with open arms if you decided to make a hex account but it looks like that is unnecessary.

That said, I did change my vote because I agree staying federated while banning db0 and Unruffled is the funniest option.

I actually did make one just in case haha, and for the emojis mostly. I just find it so odd when they say on other instances that hexbearites are all mean bullies, seriously y’all are great. And the funniest!

I’m gonna keep it a buck with y’all: I’ve never once met a decent poster from your fed. I’ve been subconsciously lumping you lot in with programming.dev, pawb.social, and mander.xyz’s posters since being made aware of you just based on how many settlers hang there.

I came over here when /r/piracy moved and at first I was confused by hexbear. Over time I’ve come to embrace the ideas and movement and I appreciate the discussions on here. Sorry if I’ve frustrated any of you over the past year, I’ve really had a shift in perspective coming from a ballot box liberal background.

I’ve been totally uninvolved, but it appears the mods, rather than the users, have been the most inflammatory. We welcome all good-faith users, such as yourself

That’s where the vast majority of us came from. Really where else could most of us have come from? East Germany? The Moon?

I think I said something vaguely socialist and someone said “go back to chapo” and I was like “what the fuck is a chapo”

We draw the line at DM harassment of any kind. Calling a moderator a “hypocritical PoS” in DMs for banning them for outright reactionary behavior necessitates a site wide ban.

It would be hypocritical to do otherwise.

No. You can’t divide by zero and get infinity. x / 0 = NaN, it can’t be defined, dividing by zero is impossible.

Probs skim a wiki page before trying to correct someone :) conventions are just conventions. All maths is arbitrary (e.g. n^0 being defined as 1 is so nice patterns around power addition and such hold at 0 but “n times n zero times” is sort of a nonsense question if the operation is taken at it’s most naive and direct interpretation)

Also not a number isn’t a mathematical construct, it’s a value computer software returns to handle edge cases in a predictable fashion.

Good, the db0 mod and admin can stay banned while we still can interact with the users.

Definitely the funniest option and one of the greatest collaborative bits of all time. It seems like even the dbzer0 users hate db0 the admin.
