🏴☠️ Hoist the Black Flag: Pledge to Boycott Lemmy World!
… if Lemmy World dares to defederate from any ship in the Fediverse Anarchist Flotilla - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/, https://anarchist.nexus/, and https://quokk.au/.
Mateys, we can’t let a mega‑instance captain bully the rest of the fleet just because their ship’s bigger. If Lemmy World tries to throw the FAF overboard, we’re calling for a show of solidarity: a fediverse blockade of Lemmy World in response, until the landlubbers see reason (i.e., there is an acceptable change in their leadership and/or this policy).
This is about mutual aid, not mutiny - standing together so no single admin gets to rule the seas unchallenged. A united armada of smaller instances can absolutely blunt Lemmy World’s outsized influence (and, let’s be honest, their ego).
☠️ A word to the captains: before hoisting colours or locking in a course, we ask ye to let your crew have their say. Run a poll, open the deck for discussion, and listen to the voices aboard your vessel. These seas belong to all of us, and decisions that shape our fediverse should be made together, not from the captain’s quarters alone.
If other captains be keen to chart this course with us, drop anchor and make the pledge public in the comments. The more hands on deck, the harder it is to sink any one of us. Let us know if you are holding a vote!
dbzer0 and AN members can vote on this pledge in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and quokk.au will be holding their own vote.
🏴☠️ Solidarity forever, and fair winds to the Flotilla!
I dunno, I’ve never seen a bad comment from anyone on world while browsing Hexbear. It seems like all of the shitty takes are only present on other instances.
dohohoho
There’s an admin conspiracy to rig the taglines
Cool.
One thing though. It is extremely funny to see “No flags” on a pirate flag that features pirate ships that also have little flags, on a post titled “Hoist the black flag” no less.
They are too chatgpt happy to make an actual instance/flotilla flag to use in their governance posts
Unlike the great Hexbear Standard
We did this as soon as federation turned on #fakefan
Correction: Axis(dot)welt fired first, preemptively, as a last resort. Hexbear’s been the victim and the target of slanderous lies from Axis(dot)welt since their lemmy spun up into existence.
I remember when they were saying hexbear was made by dessalines to brigate Axis.world and other, completely missing that hexbear is older
worlders thinking we only existed to brigade them when we had literally already forked lemmy ourselves before converging back to mainline once our feature needs were implemented. we were hard defederated from everything for like 2 years.
even their piefed & fediverse foundation shit is old hat lmao, we did all of this before you even existed
And then we were real fans of boycotting
this is good and funny
but also, why is db0 in some official alliance with that instance with the weird australian powermod?
Because db0 to my knowledge started the flotilla.
yeah, but i thought anarchist.nexus was basically just db0’s piefed instance (ie: the same people run it, it’s just different software). correct me if i’m wrong tho
odd jump to form the alliance by going “so there’s us, also us… and that guy who fucking hates everyone”. would have thought there was another established ‘anarchist’ instance, or another soft ‘left’ instance that “hates tankies” that would have joined up first - like beehaw or something
It was that originally but then they got different admins from db0 so it became it own little thing, for example they federate lemmygrad unlike db0
ah cool cool
Didn’t know that! That’s cool.
pirate stuff corny
That’s fun, I support it.
