You can still find the posts on the whole saga on Blahaj somewhere, but my recollection is that Blahaj users got harassed, Ada said something to the admins on Hexbear to try to resolve the issue, they either refused to do anything or went full no contact, and then when Blahaj voted to defederate, they defederated first before Blahaj could and then claimed that Blahaj users were transphobic towards their users and that Ada or any of the other admins never contacted them, etc.
Basically went “You can’t block me if I block you first!” and then played the victim/transphobia card…against the instance largely created for trans people, by trans people.
Was it not hexbear that defederated blahaj first?
