    Well a lot of the rest of Lemmy have seen numerous examples of it which is why they keep getting defederated from instances.

    NGL the users of the big instances that have defederated like .world are the majority of comments I have to delete here for overt racism, supporting genocide, etc. You can check the modlog if you dont believe me.

    I’m sorry, I dont really trust the opinion of the admins of instances overflowing with calls for violence and racism.

    This being about communism is a red herring as the lemmy.ml is run by self-proclaimed communists.

    I’ve seen the admins be called tankies by the same people complaining about hexbear and grad.

    Furthermore, I rarely ever see hexbear users actually discussing communism or any other economic system. Typically it’s just ad hominem remarks about “the west,” strawman arguments, concern trolling as if they’re innocent victims, and carrying water for the Chinese and Russian governments.

    Yeah this comes off to me as someone who had read a bunch of their comments with no background understanding of why the US empire is the largest purveyor of violence in the world today. I cannot blame them for not having the resources or authority to educate everyone they encounter.

      Thank you. All anyone needs to know about why lemmy.world defederated from hexbear is that they did it preemptively because they didn’t agree with the ideology of hexbear users. This is based on the admin’s own statements. It was completely unjustified.
