This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other’s content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.
Yes it was and its misapplication in targeting the same group repeatedly is laying bare its flaws and that’s why it doesn’t work
Hexbear is still online and available to anyone who wants to read the content so I’m confused as to what point you’re trying to make. If you want users to be forced to interact with other users that’s what Reddit is for.
defederation is creating bubbles with communities that have little to no activity & content and that’s going to drive away more people than any tankie ever could.
Could it be that the behavior of hexbears created the bubble?
Perhaps most groups don’t want to associate with fascist apologists.
If that same group would stop repeatedly evading bans and defeds then it wouldn’t keep happening, but since tankies’ entire existence is predicated on proselytizing to unwilling “heretics” and being as rude as they possibly can while doing it because, like the mormons, it isn’t about actually getting converts it’s about getting people to hate them so they can feed their persecution complex, here we are.
