Lmao its good to see the worst instances leave.
Does anyone else find it really, really funny that the only nationality instance to defed from us so far is Canada? I mean, I get why, but I honestly expected the UK one to leave us first.

The Canadian instance is landlord cental apparently
Which is honestly really surprising to me, given the sorry state of housing in Canada.
Lib LGBT is the community that probably does the whole "LGBT is western decadence" stuff in reverse. If you're gay and live in the third world, you don't matter, unless you can be used as tool to make fun of the "backwards savages" in the third world that don't give LGBT people rights. Despite my country legalising LGBT rights a decade before any of these western countries
Western consumerism has driven ever more individual identity and the fetishization of said identity. It's no surprise that many are incapable of universalism, intersectionality, and larger class or social analysis.
No real surprises, but the list pales compared to Lemmygrad's still, they have 3x as many defeds.
A lot of that is because they use a block list while we use an allow list, so a lot of instances haven't defederated with us bc we haven't federated with them in the first place.
😎
If no one else got me, I know the wonderful folks at lemmygrad got me. Can I get a ?
give it time. lemmygrad had been federated for much longer
Is “who can get more defederated” the struggle session that will destroy the hexbear-lemmygrad alliance?
The new Sino-Soviet split
screaming at each other about who are the real revisionists
It's kind of cool to see federation working as intended. I don't think you're going to miss thosw instances anyway lol.
Of all of those, I'm only disappointed by pawb.social and blahaj.lemmy.
LGBT+ instances defederating eachother weakens our voice and ability to support eachother on the fediverse.
Lib.lgbt , beehaw ? Whaa why ?
Beehaw pre-emptively defederated us before we even federated.
I'd what's up with lib.lgbt but I think "lib" is probably the operative word.
Because we're mean scary tankies and we might be mean to them and make them feel bad about being horrible horrible shit libs
I can at least understand why Beehaw did. They defederated from lemmy.world at the beginning because they take moderation pretty seriously and couldn't keep up with the sheer size of Lemmy.world. Hexbear is simply too active within their fediverse to keep up with all the shit that comes along with Hexbear. Even if it isn't users from here being a bit spammy (I'll be honest, it sometimes is though, it was the same when Chapo was on Reddit) the responses to Hexbear users just have a lot more vitriol than is worth introducing into a space like Beehaw.
Beehaw is very cool about applying for alt accounts as long as you haven't been banned and that's one thing good about the fediverse. You are allowed to go over there, but you have to follow their rules. They don't really fuck with instances with open sign up because of how seriously they take moderation there, so honestly dropping Hexbear pre-emptively is fine. They're pretty consistent with how they federate and defederate around their ability to moderate everything.
Idk, I think with federation we have to understand that Hexbear comes with a huge open sign up userbase with controversial opinions. And particularly active commenters compared to the rest of the fediverse. There are some instances we simply are not compatible with.
Beehaw are snakes and nothing they say should be trusted, I remember them trying to get people to leave lemmy.ml for their instance with the sole argument being they don't federate with lemmygrad back in the day when there were like 5 instances. Their main recruitment tactic was to talk about lemmygrad lol. One argument they used to defederate from lemmygrad back then was that we were apparently so big, we filled up their disk space when they opened federation. And then they found out it was actually a bug and log files didn't get deleted. Took them a few days to actually go into the FTP and look at it lol (and back then lemmy.ml was as big as us anyway). We received neither an apology or an offer to refederate.
Now they make a ton of donation money and can get additional admins and even community mods. On lemmygrad we have no problem being federated with lib instances like world or ee and we don't make a single cent in donation to host the website or work on it.
They're just typical anti-communists.
I'm really glad programming.dev didn't defederate. I first discovered lemmygrad and then hexbear through that instance. Since Stalin can suck it, here I am.
AKA the cowards libs and reactionaries
TL;DR? What's special about this instance?
It's an incredibly active, explicitly communist instance that scares instances that are more liberal or right wing because we don't tolerate people who use buzzwords or generalizations or just "reddit politics" speech in general.
We're also incredibly hostile to bigotry, which turns out to scare a lot of moderators and admins that can't directly from Reddit as they tend to have a lot of unexplored bigotry.
We're also incredibly hostile to bigotry
So this is like an Internet battlefield? Ok cool... Now I'm going to retreat quietly like this is a boss room that I'm way underleveled for.
Don't worry, we're not outwardly hostile unless you're coming in shouting slurs and insulting folks. If you're willing to learn about leftism, feel free to level up at Librehab
Also, our instance is known for our many, many emojis and love of shitposting
You're welcome to lurk by the door, might learn a thing or two. We're incredibly hostile to overtly problematic views but also incredibly helpful to those who want to learn and do better.
People are very welcoming and kind here as long as you aren't hostile or acting in bad faith. We have scanners that can detect bigots and bad faith actors.
aint no way
We just
interesting, I was wondering if there was a way to find this
