What's the story behind this defederation? I missed that

TBH reading "their" opinion on Russia and the Russia war I can see why people would just simply want them to stay within their weird island. Well defederation is still not a cool option in general for the platform as a whole but I can see how admins of instances read stuff like that and can't help but let their own opinion influence their decision. I would probably stay away from these as well.
-
I can sort of understand why tbf. Just playing the devil's advocate here but the issue is that today it's fine and shitposts are shitposts but Poe's law will come into action at some point.
-
That's not the actual reason. Hexbear was openly advocating for their "army" to brigade other instances once it was federating. It just so happens that the basis of that brigading was going to be political.
Lemmy.world pre-emptivly decided it wasn't worth the hassle of having to deal with that.
-
Ohh okay. I didn't know the context but that sounds really bad. Brigading instances should be de-federated.

what's the line between brigading and just getting into political arguments though?
What is the similarity?
Brigading is when you are targeting your entire group to a single post and attack users or disrupt the discussion.

Hexbear only recently started opening itself up to federation. It’s one of the old leftist instances that was around before the reddit api fiasco. Think lemmygrad but more tolerant and pro-lgbtq.
-
Basically the powers that be determined that Hexbear "violated" Lemmy's TOS by being a little too right wing (their opinion) and therefore chose on behalf of the entirety of Lemmy that the instance should be defederated.
-
I live here but to be clear, lemmy.world is not "the entirety of Lemmy".
-
Ah ok, defederating makes instances more accessible to the whole of lemmy.
You want to fucking play around like a smart ass? Then I will to. Don't be fucking obtuse.
-
....I'm not sure you understand how all this works.
-
Wish I could be as bad ass as you and have it all figured out, to the point that I make dick ish comments to propel humanity along.
Eat a bag of dicks.

So you're striving to raise yourself from full dick to just "-ish"? Otherwise this reply seems a bit ironic.

Hexbear is left wing.

Why is Hexbear so popular? I've never even heard of it

Thanks for the very detailed explanation!

Same, I just found it after seeing the lemmy instances graph. It's nothing to sneeze at.

I find it funny when people cry "FrEdOoM oF eXpReSsIoN" when instances defederate. Isn't this the whole point and the good thing about federated social media? People who own the instances decide what to do with their instances
