I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I’m almost certain they’ll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The previous thread definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but what do y’all think?

EDIT: With regards to the post on new federation guidelines here: https://hexbear.net/post/352119

The current top comment is:

Every instance that has talked shit and got dogpiled should be thanking us for breathing some life into their dead and boring ass websites.

    I figured it was those comments you were referring to, and I can sort of see where you’re coming from now that I think about it, since it should be on the users to behave even without changing Lemmy’s features. Still, I don’t think it’s particularly malicious to discuss how to improve the site, and how they could’ve approached federation differently. I think that functionality shapes behavior, so these are the types of things that should be discussed.

    Edit: And regarding “most instances do not have these sorts of problems” — I don’t think it’s good to treat the majority experience as the universal experience.

      Don’t get me wrong hexbear is absolutely anomalous. I do not think that is an argument in favor of federating with them.

          Them not jiving with the broader threadiverse is absolutely reason to defederate. They should probably be in their own network of leftist shitposting and trolling instances. Places with similar tone and customs around dogpiling.
