      “They look like they can’t downbear content on other instances, but the hexbear ui actually has a superdownbear -10 function that they use to send anyone they target into the negatives. The admins of hexbear have a stickied post on all pages encouraging users to take trains to data centers of Lemmy instances with giant spoon-shaped electromagnets to erase SSDs of liberal instances.”

    We have met the requirements, but it does say in the instructions there is no set time on being added, if it isn’t there by the end of the week I’ll reach out and ask.

      The joinlemmy crawler is throwing an error on hexbear.net. Problem is that /api/v3/site is returning an unexpected value for version which fails to be parsed. You can run the crawler yourself to reproduce:

      cargo run -- --start-instances hexbear.net --verbose 5
Finished dev [unoptimized] target(s) in 0.28s
Running `target/debug/lemmy-stats-crawler --start-instances hexbear.net --verbose 5`
Crawling...
DEBUG - Worker 0 starting job hexbear.net at distance 0
TRACE - Job hexbear.net errored with: unexpected character '.' after patch version number
Crawl complete, took 1s
Number of Lemmy instances: 0
Total users: 0
Half year active users: 0
Monthly active users: 0
Weekly active users: 0
Daily active users: 0

Use --json flag to get machine readable output

      So it currently only supports versions like 1.2.3. You can either change the version number or change the crawler code to make it work.

      They don’t want to remove the nazis because they are afraid someone will ask to remove hexbear.

      you can always just say “no, fuck off” gigachad

      The instance list is fine as is. Think about it like this: do you want racists to join a single instance so they are all in one place? Or do you want them to spread across all different instances, causing moderation problems everywhere?

      I want to be charitable here and assume this is in good faith, but I can’t help but point out that this is almost one-for-one the containment board logic non-/pol/ 4channers used to justify the existence of /pol/.

        but he controls the fucking list, so who cares about impartiality, do the thing that is good to do for the platform and for spreading socialism

          Yadda yadda structural materialist consequences etc. etc.

          Not that I disagree with you, it’s just a radical departure from what lemmy has been doing, which means it is unlikely. Idk what the whole financial situation is, but I would bet that there is some degree of incentive in keeping them around aside from purely freeze-peach ideology.

            If the response then is to acquiesce to helping reactionary platforms continue to grow, that means you’ve already been co-opted. If you can’t not do advertising for Nazis, what kind of revolutionary change are you promoting?

                Yeah but the top-level comment is from someone at slrpnk.net; if that instance federated, we wouldn’t see the beehaw admin arguing (rightly) in favor of dropping the nazis from join-lemmy, but we’d still see Nutomic’s response to the top-level comment and could call him a lib there.

                  I guess they are somewhat less tankie leaning, but make up for it with shere toxicity and low effort shit-posting. I don’t really want to have to moderate that here all the time given that their admins are highly unlikely to do it on their end.

                  Maybe their current toxic community will dilute out a bit over time and removing them from the block list could be considered in the future.

                  They did the same preemptive defederation lemmy world did, despite user disagreement.

                  Solarpunk is a (mostly) aesthetic-cultural and (sometimes) ethical-political tendency

                  Solarpunk instance has no punk. It’s liberalism wanting a few more plants around. But at least they state upfront they are into aesthetics over politics, I guess?

      Wait what instance is the one with nazis in it? Seems pretty obvious to me to only advertise the instances that aren’t batshit insane, if they wanna find those the nutcases can dig
