If so, was it polled somewhere?

Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they've also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

I mean, I guess 1/1,000 can still be called some?

Yeah, qtpie seems to have a very open federation stance, but they'll follow the community's will and aren't responsible for hosting the server anyway.

Why is the only surprise here that this user was given an admin role?

Weird, simply saying that trans people that are finished transitioning aren't trans... because they're done transitioning... as in they're now just a man or woman... got me called a bigot...

Like straight up, told that I'm a bigot and should not even think of speaking about trans people.

Some people over there also claimed that diseases didn't kill native Americans. They claimed it's "revisionist history" and they refered to the settlers as "shock troops".

I'm just glad these people probably don't go outside very much.
