NOT_RICKI knew hexbear was big but not that big
ByteMeI haven’t even heard of it xd
Kroxx. world is defederated with hexbear iirc
Oh. Why?
You could go visit hexbear and you’d find out pretty quickly. It’s definitely not for everyone.
It’s an entire instance of teenage trolls
Other comments hit on this but I’ll add a little more. There is a good bit of trolls/trolling, some extreme views, and authoritarian government praise. Things like that.
Lemm.ee (my instance) is still federated so I see hexbear post/ comments. It’s definitely a more problematic instance imo.
Oh okay, got it
You only got replies from hexbear haters so let me balance it out a bit. Hexbear is by far the most LGBT+ friendly instance in the fediverse and has a supermajority of queer users. They’re aggressively anti-bigotry in all its forms and are extremely happy to educate and engage in discussions as long as you approach them in good faith.
Most people who go out of their way to shit talk them in the wild are just mad hexbear banned them for saying some racist or homophobic shit
Okay. Then why is almost every instance defederating?
Because hexbear is full of socialists and most instances are full of rabid pro-genocide liberals.
Cowbee [he/they]It’s not “almost every instance,” it’s largely Lemmy.world. hexbear defederated from some other instances, but most major instances are, in fact, federated with Hexbear.
Hexbear was not federated with any instances at all for years until about a year ago in the first place.
