Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn't give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it's about de-platforming fascists.

It's full of very good programmers who could contribute even if you don't agree with their politics?

    Uh, good programmers are not necessarily good people? Think we all ought to be able to agree on that... But if you really think hexbear users are comparable to far right extremists then your politics are detestable and my credence in you also being a bad person goes way up, although you might still be worth intereacting with wrt programming topics idk
