I think it has become more than apparent that our federation with Hexbear has degraded the quality of browsing on this instance. I’m generally for open federation, but the amount of brigading and general toxicity is not conducive to the friendly communications that make Lemmy great.

      Ill just leave my link attached. I think it speaks for itself, and the degradation in the quality of Lemmy as a whole.

      Not to be dramatic, because I quite like lemmy.one, but I’m going to have to swap to an instance that has defederated until we are given instance wide blocking. Ill return once its implemented though if we don’t otherwise defederate first.

          I stand by Lemmy.ones belief in allowing conflicting values. Thats why im here. Hexbear can be as communist as it wants. I too an a communist.

          What is not OK is the toxicity of hexbear. It degrades the experience.

            The problem is that hexbear is actually alt-right concern trolls. Nobody there is actually lgbt, it’s just a handle they use so they know who to target with their harassment.

            A whole bunch of nazis who love that neo-communist trump.
