We’ve already defederated one tanky instance, and frankly I think I’ve rarely had a positive interaction with Hexbear users. Their defence of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, or of China’s genocide against the Uighur people, is hard enough to stomach. But what prompted me to post this is their commentary in this thread where even without any of the propaganda-based reasons to justify their beliefs, they seem to delight in being rude arseholes to people.
Personally, I don’t think they provide us any real value, no we’d be better off without them, just as we are better off without lemmygrad and exploding-heads.
Nah, defederatiom should be reserved for extreme circumstances. Light trolling definitely doesnt qualify, particularly if it’s related to some inter-instance drama that has absolutely nothing to do with aussie.zone. Like who actually cares if Beehaw users were mocked in a thread? It’s irrelevant.
