This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other’s content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.

    I approve when a server defederates from instances that have a large number of bad faith actors. Like strawman arguments, “examples of clueless tankies,” attempting to disguise the fact that they are as numerous as they are toxic. Like, “treated like an adult,” as an adult I’d like to not read rude and childish nonsense coming out of Hexbear.

    If someone would suggest an instance that excludes hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml I would like that. Lemmy.world is 2/3, that’s nice. I assume the instance is only federated with .ml because .ml has some of the bigger communities. Unfortunately the .ml admins are actively participating in delusional thinking and silencing anyone who disagrees. Sounds like deciding for you whom you can and can’t talk to, but that must be totally different for some reason.

      I think Beehaw.org is. We’re 2/3 as well (now). .ml has some communities/users we’ve removed, but largely speaking .ml users have not caused any issues on our hosted communities, and we feel exposing them to our (generally awesome) communities is the net-positive here. Honestly .world’s (lack of) moderation is more actively an issue for our mods, but since they’re so big and we’re a niche instance we really can’t afford to de-federate from them.

      and silencing anybody who disagrees

      My brother in Christ y’alls whole thing is blocking any instance that contains anybody who disagrees with your world view.

      But right, its only bad when they do it and its good when you do it. 🙄

        Blocking trolls, yeah, or instances that are more trolls than good faith participants. Maybe you don’t see a difference between that and just different opinions because you don’t know how to disagree in good faith.

          You have a differing opinion and therefore are a bad faith actor

          🎵🎵 Hey, Hi, You’re the problem It’s you! 🎵🎵

          EDIT: For people claiming to be the “sane” ones, y’all sure have a compulsive need to win anonymous internet arguments by digging deep through a stranger’s history for anything you can use then blocking them.

          Very sane. much adult.

            Do even your middle school peers consider it good faith if you are deliberately substituting your own words for what was written and copy/pasting your own smug comments (https://reddthat.com/comment/14346864) trying to make people mad? It’s childish, that’s why people don’t engage.

      not different at all; they’re doing the exact same thing and i think it’s a testament to the fediverse’s design that people with such diametrically opposed world views can exist on the same social media platform.

      also, look at the toxicity being leveled at me here for my comment and coming from trekkies no less; the pot is calling the kettle black here.

      consuming social media for the last 35 years or so; and ESPECIALLY with reddit; has taught me how to tolerate shit takes and high levels of toxicity and i think that’s enabled me to see to how the discourse is happening in the entirety of the lemmyverse and the people who are putting themselves into a bubble through defederation are missing out, which will ultimately drive them away because it’s choking off activity in the communities inside those bubbles and i think that the lack of content is going to drive away more people than any tankie ever could.

      star trek matters to me and i want this instance to stick around; that’s why i’m trying despite the toxicity and the bad faith arguments presented here.
