Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

MODERATORS
Due to overwhelming support for unilateral defederation from feddit.uk, we will be doing so tomorrow at 8:30pm Moscow time. Please see the previous thread for context.
We wanted to give everyone a heads-up since after we defederate, numerous account actions and deletions will NOT update on the defederated instance due to coding limitations in lemmy. This includes:
-Post edits and deletions
-Account edits (bio, profile picture, display name)
-Account deletions
In the future this will likely be fixed, but due to the dev work required it's not feasible to change in the short term. If you have any account or post changes you want to make, please do so before 4/27 8:30pm Moscow Time, or when this post is 24hrs old.
Thanks to everyone who provided their feedback. We will continue to fight transphobia and reactionary rhetoric on this instance for the safety of our users 
kneecap go on hexbear 
Good. No more of that instance and their “ccp” whining.
I asked to defederate as well in my small instance, but I think our admin is sleeping or partying because he had not answered yet. Waiting until Monday for him to answer before I'm going to make a fuss on the irc channel.
I didn't vote either way but this was the right decision and I approve 
Using Moscow time is still such a good bit
before we defederate, can someone please tell them to suck me?
Hexbears should note there is a Fediverse memes comm on their instance:
dot
For convenience, that's 1:30 a.m. April 28th in Beijing.
and 1:30 p.m. April 27th in Langley
Thanks Langley comrades for covering the night shift for us 
I would like to voice a dissenting opinion that feddit.uk should not be de-federated and instead all top level domains should be de-federated rendering the feddit 2nd level block unnecessary.
~~Fexit~~ hexit
in simple terms, what does defederating mean? I’ve never heard of this instance at all, so what would change?
Posts and comments from their instance will no longer appear on Hexbear, and vice versa. feddit.uk users will not be able to post or comment on Hexbear from their feddit accounts, and vice versa.
So if someone from there wanted to spout some bullshit they’re unable to
Sweet. Thanks for the explanation 
However, as it says in the OP, copies of all your posts and comments you made with your Hexbear account before defederation, will remain visible on Feddit.uk, regardless of if you edit or delete them on Hexbear.
