    Why would you? In fact, everyone should defederate from hexbear, they’re basically lemmygrad lite anyways.

      I feel like the admins of hexbear are fairly conscious of their user base and have made sure to take all the necessary steps to properly federate with world. What’s concerning to me is that world preemptively defederated without hexbear showing any signs of hostility or malicious intent. Remember how long it took world to defed from exploding-heads? A literal nazi hub?

      It all seems like de federation based on political ideology which, I mean, is in worlds own rights to do, but the fact that they’re the largest instance making preemptive decisions based on nothing isn’t boding very well.

        That’s what’s worrying to me. If they federated and started brigading communities, that’s one thing, but I don’t think they even have the numbers to meaningfully do that to start with. It feels like ideological censorship.

      I mean, they’re opinionated but we’ve nothing concrete to suggest they’ll be invasive or detrimental to other instances. Even lemmygrad generally keeps their stuff to their instance.
