I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    This isn’t accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.

    There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

      .world preemptively defederated from hexbear “as a last resort” can you clarify when the events you’re referring to would have happened?

      Dang that’s pretty impressive for an instance that got blocked by .world before they ever started federating.

      Or did I already miss make stuff up o’clock?

      Have you considered that their users were just browsing the front page and what you’re describing is just the nature of lemmy and how federation works?

      You’re likely referring to the_dunk_tank which is a community that encourages bullying homophobia, transphobia, fascists and liberale (pretty based imo)
