TBH reading “their” opinion on Russia and the Russia war I can see why people would just simply want them to stay within their weird island. Well defederation is still not a cool option in general for the platform as a whole but I can see how admins of instances read stuff like that and can’t help but let their own opinion influence their decision. I would probably stay away from these as well.
I can sort of understand why tbf. Just playing the devil’s advocate here but the issue is that today it’s fine and shitposts are shitposts but Poe’s law will come into action at some point.
That’s not the actual reason. Hexbear was openly advocating for their “army” to brigade other instances once it was federating. It just so happens that the basis of that brigading was going to be political.
Lemmy.world pre-emptivly decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of having to deal with that.
Hexbear only recently started opening itself up to federation. It’s one of the old leftist instances that was around before the reddit api fiasco. Think lemmygrad but more tolerant and pro-lgbtq.
What’s the story behind this defederation? I missed that

Ohh okay. I didn’t know the context but that sounds really bad. Brigading instances should be de-federated.

What is the similarity?
Brigading is when you are targeting your entire group to a single post and attack users or disrupt the discussion.

I live here but to be clear, lemmy.world is not “the entirety of Lemmy”.

…I’m not sure you understand how all this works.

So you’re striving to raise yourself from full dick to just “-ish”? Otherwise this reply seems a bit ironic.
