I like a lot of dbzer0 users, it's unfortunate that the head admin behaves this way. dbzer0 as an instance has a lot of cool people and a lot of really uncool people, so defederation isn't something I support, but I wouldn't be surprised if this kind of thing eventually leads to that.
I'm surprised db0 hasn't defederated from Hexbear yet. Probably likes playing the victim too much to ever do that. I didn't realise who it was at first so their childish and incoherent responses were very confusing. It was a fun rollercoaster of a conversation though.
There are a lot of anarchists on Hexbear, and some of the dbzer0 mods and admins aren't actually as anti-ML as db0 is. dbzer0 does have some degree of democracy in their decision making practice, so these two factors are why it's still fine.
Oh ok, based on what I've seen, I thought db0 basically ruled like a (completely non-authoritarian) king on their instance, good to see it isn't just like that.
db0 certainly has outsized influence, but there's a pretty broad diversity in thought throughout the instance itself, moreso than here, for good and bad. I've spoken with some cool comrades over there, so I try to refrain from discounting the entire project.
