A reminder that users can nominate or discuss the addition or blocking of instances on the linked posts.
The mod team was pretty evenly split on adding this instance to our allow-list or leaving it off.
The instance has a very active games community, however it also has the MeanwhileOnGrad community.
https://sh.itjust.works/communities has a full list of their communities.
Please do not emoji spam on other instances, consider linking to the Polite Politics Button instead.
We will wait for now and look at this again at the start of next month.
Lmao 🤣
They have a good point about the pig poop balls, but landlords = bad as a reason for defederating? That’s bullshit. Imagine defending feudal property relations in the year 2023
Why should we bother to federate with sh.itjust.works? They would defederate us and we would have to defederate to their defederation . There’s no end to that. It would be quite enough for us to announce that sh.itjust.works is a traitor to the working class, and everyone will understand everything.
Lemmygrad has been the only instance to give us a warm welcome. We should definitely not federate with an instance with a anti-grad comm.
Plus they are Canadian. I have already expressed my reservations on federating with Canadian instances.
Lemmygrad is federated with them too though, and the meanwhileongrad comm is really just one guy who loves to talk about “tankies”. If anything it would be a material source for the dunk tank.
Actually we’re not, lemmygrad doesn’t de federate from any real instance but shit just works did de federate from us, it probably only shows on their instance list and not ours though. Which makes that meanwhile on grad community doubly funny, the creator specifically chose to make it on a de federated instance so we can’t talk to him, talk about a coward.
OK but 1. I don’t think we need more material for the dunk tank, it’s a fucking cornucopia right now and 2. this suggests a lot about their admins, because presumably at least some comrades must have protested and reported over there and were ignored
The example banner FOUCAULT provided in the thread here is both racist and unacceptable; and it wasn’t just posted, it was approved by mods

OK but there are all sorts of people from many different instances that expressed support and gladness at federation with hexbear
an instance with a anti-grad comm.
Ah, never mind then. No as well IMO. Especially after seeing a few content examples in the present thread.
We probably should not federate with them, but the chaos that will insue when their neo Nazi non credible defence community hits the front page and hexbears swarm it just might be worth it.
