Yep, Hexbear defederated from Blahaj because Blahaj accused Hexbear’s trans users of “faking transness” and Blahaj defended chasers. I’m not trans, I’m not in any position to tell Hexbear’s trans users what they should or shouldn’t be offended by, but it seems like a reasonable reason to defederate from blahaj to me.
Blahaj accused Hexbear’s trans users of “faking transness”
You put quotes there as if you’re actually quoting someone (the admin, a moderator?); but I generally remember the drama around hex-blahaj defederation, and absolutely do not remember this part. It is also not mentioned in the links you provide elsewhere ITT.
Yep, I wouldn’t doubt it, then probably dbzer0 will follow, and maybe even blahaj.zone after that.
Personally I don’t really much for .world posts, but I do know the admins on .ml have maintained that they believe instances that are more open to federation will be more stable in the long run, and .world admins appear to want to remain somewhat friendly with the devs, so we are at a standstill.
They want to peddle a persecution narrative, because it’s the only way they can cope with the fact that, in reality, they’re disliked because they run in a toxic fascist community.
Yes, .ml isn’t as bad a tankie instance as hexbear and lemmygrad are when talking about the user base in general, present company excluded of cause. And I have heard bad stories about mods but I still wouldn’t put it in the same bucket
.world will pull that trigger and then it’ll become a little echo chamber that will eventually die out while the rest of us on the lemmyverse will watch and wonder if anything can be done.
Yes, the largest Lemmy instance will become a little echo chamber because it doesn’t view fascism as “just a differing viewpoint that needs to be respected 🥺”
let history inform your opinion: there have been multiple reddit diasporas feeding into other social media platforms and at least 2 of them were larger than the one that’s currently swelling the ranks of lemmy.world; every single one has failed once they turned into an echo chamber.
My instance defederated from those lot
Before Hexbear ever federated with you, humerously enough.
Very ‘humerously’. World took one look at pigs-shitting-on-their-own-balls spam and said “No thank you” to Hexbear’s proposed federation. :)
Haven’t seen PPB in a long time, honestly. Either way, it’s still nice to recognise that Hexbear proposed an olive branch and .world turned it down.
Hexbear is well known for being good faith in those type of situations.
Other instances seem to have little issue with Hexbear.
Oh yes, just mean ol’ world

Least truth-impaired fascist.
Oh jolly, someone from .ml .
Don’t worry, soon enough you’ll be defederated too xx

I wouldn’t put dbzer0 and blahaj anywhere near the tanky instances

People said the same about Lemmy.ml, .world always wants a target.
Yes, .ml isn’t as bad a tankie instance as hexbear and lemmygrad are when talking about the user base in general, present company excluded of cause. And I have heard bad stories about mods but I still wouldn’t put it in the same bucket
Hence the sliding slope.

I generally agree, and I think that’s why they haven’t pulled the trigger.
