I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Where are people seeing this hexbear and lemmygrad content? I use the Thunder client with a lemmy.world account. I don’t have those instances blocked but never see anything from them. Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?

      Correct. Lemmy.world’s admin “pre-emptively defederated Hexbear as a last resort”.

      The majority of instances defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad. I think if you have an account on such an instance you’ll never see anyone or anything from them (correct me if I’m wrong). If your own instance is not defederated from them, then you may see the odd hexbear or lemmygrad user or community, but since most instances have defederated from them, that also means that the communities hosted there won’t have hexbear or lemmygrad users in them. Likewise, if you are not defederated from them, and find a community hosted by an instance that is also not defederated from them, you will almost certainly see troll comments from hexbear or lemmygrad. I hope that’s somewhat clear.

      lemmy.world preemptively defederated from hexbear before hexbear had even turned on the ability to federate. In the Lemmy.world defederation post they also said that defederation has a “last resort” lmao.

      I think the LW admins think their users are stupid.
