If so, was it polled somewhere?

Pretty disappointing that @iamaqtpie is active on hexbear and says things like:

Please direct any seething that you may wish to do to the struggle session that’s well underway over here.

which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

Also disappointing that hexbear gets to vote federation, while we are left to federate to hexbear without a choice because the admins like the instance. Lame.

It's clear that sh.itjust.works does not care to get community support in it's decision making and we are left at the whims of the admins preferences. Isn't this why most of us left Reddit? Because community say didn't mean anything?

which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

here's the whole quote, emphasis mine:

Hexbear is a Lemmy server that was created about 3 years ago as a new home for the former users of r/chapotraphouse. CTH was banned from reddit because they were openly calling for the deaths of slave owners, which reddit considered hate speech 🙄

Why would you take this out of context, and what is your issue with the whole quote?

The quote was to establish that the admins personal feelings are involved about the instance.

It is an objective fact that the sub was banned on Reddit for hate speech. The rolling eyes emoji establishes the admins personal feelings on the subject.

Whether the ban is justified or not is irrelevant to my point that SJW does not care to understand what its user base may want.

objective fact

It's an "objective fact" that support for John Brown's history of fighting slavery and slavers is hate speech?

Way to drop that mask.

Slavers do (and did) deserve to die though, it's not hate speech it's just true

kill all slavers. every last one.

Whether or not the eye roll is justified is in question when the quote is supposed to emblematic of the admin’s opinions of the instance. Some of our staunchest detractors can admin that “kill slave owners” is not hate speech because “slave owner” is not a protected class. Do you think dismissal of this logic is so outlandish that it must be emblematic of support for our instance? Because I don’t see any other reason to include it.
