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.

    I don’t really agree. I disagree with Federation outside of extreme circumstances, and I have yet to personally see anyone from hexbear causing an issue. Granted, I blocked world news and other problematic communities and avoid most Lemmy drama, so I don’t encounter many trolls, and when I do they’re usually on Lemmy world or a similar large instance.
