    I do have to ask, if the admins here are banned from Hexbear, why are we (dbzer0) federated with them?

    Not an attempt at a gotcha, I’m just curious why we are.

      Because I’m not trying to be a BDFL. If people want to defed from hexbear, they can ask for a defed vote.

        You are one whether you want it or not though? You can’t just ask everybody what instance decision to take at every step?

          It’s an Anarchist instance, they try to be as democratic and community driven as possible. Actually this one here is very similar to that, we have !agora@sh.itjust.works where people can have discussions about things like that and mods may post a vote as well.

          dbzer0 is an anarchist instance. They try to avoid any heavy-handed stuff (like defederation) unless the community specifically asks for it.

          Of course not, but I work within mandates and can be recalled at any time, which is not how dictators for life work

            How can you be recalled and keep instance functioning? Who elects another instance overseer and is it fair process?

            If you really wanted it to be fair then you would have division of power: 1. Intern technician 2. Press 3. Judiciary system. And last but not least Elected overseer -> you

              I can be recalled as an admin, but I remain as a sysadmin. I just took a pledge to respect that vote amd ensure the other admins do so as well. The admins select new admins. The community can recall them at any time as well.
