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 Poland@europe.pub 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?

eu-cool or “Yes” - Defederate

poland-cool or “No” - Remain federated

    I understand and accept why we de federated from them initially but it still makes me sad that the two biggest explicitly pro-trans instances are separated. I still hope someday we can settle any differences, especially considering certain elements pushing division are no longer there.

    Then I’ll be able to post in the boykisser comm from my normal hexbear account.

        Well, if I remember correctly it was us that decided to defed initially and I felt the reasons for it were valid at the time. Again, though, things have changed since and I’d be curious to hear opinions here from people why or why not we should refed with them.
