    No I don't know why. What have they done to you?

    The Lemm.ee admin talked about it here

    TL;DR: This instance wants to federate with everyone as much as possible. You can block hexbear communities if you'd like.

    I have like 60 communities blocked by now but it feels nice to make my own choices.

    User goes into a ML space, calls Stalin a "shitbag," gets called a shitbag back, and now they want to defederate because they can't take what they dish out lmao.

    Maybe I'm just living under a rock but I hadn't even heard of, let alone seen, Hexbear prior to this post and had to do a search to see what you were talking about. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    They're absolutely harmless, and I don't understand the recent hubbub. Their culture is a bit strange, but they mostly seem to just want to shitpost about politics in peace. They won't bother you unless you say "defederate hexbear" 3 times in a mirror, and then they swarm, I think just wanting hugs or something.

    We're one of the oldest and by far most established and active community on the lemmyverse. Our instance was forked for a long time because of some backend issues with how our admins wanted pronouns to work on our usernames for example. Just last week we finished updating the site such that we're compatible again and merged. OP is big mad that we're very populated and active so it feels like we're 'brigading' when a thread gets popular. It could also be that we're militantly pro-lgbt (if the pronouns didn't tip you off) and ideologically leftist (usually marxist-lenninists but we have a fair number of anarchist comrades as well).

    We're kind of having a laugh at all these people who joined 1-2 months ago from reddit having culture shock at the new site and demand the furniture be arranged to their taste. It could also be as one of us mentioned on a separate thread that OP was doing some casual homophobia and boy do we like bullying people like them. If you sort your lemmy feed by all and sort by active, you'll see posts with hundreds of comments where we're arguing about bigotry like that, disinformation, western chauvinism, ect.

    The community was originally on Reddit as /r/chapotraphouse until we along with most other explicitly leftist subs were banned. We've been here for three years ever since. hexbear-logo

    I think hexbear should be able to federate because the alternative is censorship

    This comment section is a prime example. They brigade every single post about China/Russia or about them, and if you find one there are ten others there as well. If you think lemmygrad is bad, hexbear is way worse.
