I'm in Vietnam right now and DAMN I miss the heat of Arabia (in general, no specific country) back home it was always 40°C.. Here? Its always <15°C, which is very cold. And it's not even winter lol.

For some reason I've always loved the heat, and despised the cold.

الله يوفقك يا أخي ❤️🫂

Puppet state. King Abdullah is a moron who whores himself to the west/Zionists, at the cost of his own people/Arabs.

You deserve better mate, they sound no good at all. I'm sure one day you can find the right partner, but accepting an abuser to ease the short term loneliness will only do more harm.

I remember seeing your line of posts about him, glad you're doing better. I don't trust second chances, but if you want this then just be careful :)

That's fair, thanks for your input.

Ah I thought you were talking about the second vote, sorry.

See the revision in the pinned comment, addresses this issue

nvm

No, you don't need to pay, just upvote/downvote iirc

IDK why you have a landlubber flair, thats odd lol. Will fix

Top just says who opened the topic, and below it the type of the vote (there are discussions and simpje voting)

Each user has a relevant flair, like admin/donator/etc. The 'for' tells the total of all the relevant users flairs (not everybody has flairs!)

The against is the same thing but with downvotes.

Local community / total? I have no idea lol

Percentage is the ratio of upvotes against downvotes (only counts votes from dbzer0 users)

Outsider perspective is the same but for non dbzer0 users, and doesn't show a percentage.

The rest just tells when the vote ends and a footnote

Yeah I remember that in the YPTB room yesterday. Normally I'd be harsh on this stuff but it's the end of the instance anyway, we'd be wasting our breaths. Also, I was talking about how helpful he was to other admins, idk if he is a PTB in his own spaces :p

Specifically I was talking about how helpful he was to other admins, he made out lives a lot easier. Can't comment on dubvee moderation

You're a fucking legend, thank you so much :D

FYI I made a revision that solves this issue, check pinned comment. Not to sway your opinion, feel free to vote however you want :)

So, it appears unruffled is MIA and I can't reach him about this right now, so...

I've revised this vote to make it more fair to the objectors (without permission :3). The main problem seems to be that lots of you don't want to see grad content, and that's fair; personally, I think their instance can produce shit takes a lot. So in this revision (and FAQ) I'll try to address everything.

The original plan was: run a trial vote, federate for a month, and then immediately run another vote to cement/reject this.

Thanks to the comments here, here's my personal changes:

• Shorten the trial to two weeks instead, thanks to the two users that suggested this
• After the trial, defederate immediately instead of running the next vote asap. Then once Lemmy properly fixes instance blocking (I.E. completely block an instance, as if it was actually defederated), we can run the vote, but more fairly; users who've this will get it, and users who reject this can easily block it, as if it never happened. Win win?

Forgive me if I'm missing stuff, I'm far away from home and busy, and can't do too much admin duty, and I'm only really commenting this since unruffled is offline xd.

FAQ:

Why, and why now?

A lot of users, including one just recently who quit their instance, are sick of liberals. This is mainly meant to be a counterweight to that. Although seeing some users here live some of their content, I guess that's a plus, too.

As for why now? Well this really started over two casual conversations about grad, tankies, and liberals.It's odd I have to admit, but oh well ¯(ツ)_/¯

What if I change my mind and want to defederate again?

Besides the fact that instance blocking will be fixed during that time, anybody can always start up a vote for defederation! This isn't a permanent, set in stone thing

Didn't we have good reason to defederate before? Why refederate?

Well, kinda? Not really. I asked db0 about this and here is his response:

The reasons are simple, I didn't know much about hexbear at the start and took them at their words that they're not just tankies, LG was stalwartly running apologia red fash regimes like North Korea and that was a bit too much to stomach for me. By how I learned that LG is basically the same as hexbear ideologically just without the left unity and dirtbag left approach.

And afaik grad has been defederated from the very beginning anyway, no voting took place.

I hope I covered everything. Personally? I don't really care about this too much, whether it passes or not I probably wouldn't mind. Most of us admins are neutral/skeptical, since we've never federated with them we've never interacted with them at all.

Anyways, this is the community's choice. If you guys don't like it we won't force you, and if you like it we'll respect your wishes.

If you have any other suggestions of compromise, feel free so reply here. Cheers
