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.
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.
