see linked post. I believe this would count as one of the examples given in the federation policy https://lemm.ee/post/401063 :

An instance which is knowingly spreading CSAM into the federated network

Furries, lot of people don't like them but also don't think they should be globally silenced unless they are actual zoophiles

People using words other people don't like that aren't necessarily used in a hateful way, some people don't want to see that some don't care.

Was on a gmod server before that had a total free speech rule where people would say horrendous shit to be edgy but one day they banned one slur for one group of people specifically which felt kinda weird

Hexbears. A lot of people call for you guys to get defederated, but have seen a few hexbears be genuinely nice and helpful. I'm sure you can see my point with that one

nah, slurs 100℅ deserve a ban. miss me with this shit. Im also shocked, shocked that you defend the use of slurs. I wonder why you'd use a website like that thonk

lmao it's definitely impossible to make the case that a group of largely queer people deserve protection - I've definitely never made this case at length and vigorously on this website because it's impossible to do without uhhh checks notes freeze-peach.

lmao, I and most other hexbears don't give the smallest shit if liberals defed us because we're rude. we carved out a place for ourselves and made a happy and comfortable home for 3 years without federation - we recruit offline, into orgs, not online. lemmy is a place for us to decompress and commiserate, not a means or an end.

Put it to a vote. If they vote against us, then c'est la vie. My only stipulation is that we get a chance to present our case (as our opponents also would).
