Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here’s a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn’t work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

    views that we disagree with

    a few bad actors

    Please stop with all those disingenous takes. OP makes it quite clear that it was not based on differences in viewpoint but toxic and trolling behaviour. And it is not “a few bad actors” from that instance behaving in such a way, it is everyone, since that is their publicly stated main purpose for existing.

      Their community policy is explicitly against the actions described in this post.

        Blatant indifference to their own community policies is an excellent reason to defederate.

          And everyone on lemmy.ca follows community guidelines? Let’s be realistic. It’s a few bad actors (that we’ve already isolated!), just ban them.
