I don’t know why this take hits me so hard. It’s so utterly comical in my brain. It’s such a bizarre idea to me that we’re going to be bleeding the users who have been here when it was literally only hexbear after a week or two of federation because, what, do they think their posting power is going to sway people over there? This is one of the least controversial site decisions to have happened over on this side of the coin. The idea of this being a phenomenon that will happen with multiple, let alone even one of our pre-federation users is so utterly incompatible with my mental model of Hexbear that I can’t fucking get over it. It’s fucking fascinating 
if you are one of these people planning to exodus to blahaj full-time please let me know because it’s too good of a bit to keep to yourself
Surely hexbear will bleed a ton of members to the site that just offended a bunch of our queer comrades…
They know nothing about us. Lol
ngl they know nothing about anything, these people are some of the least informed libs i’ve ever seen
and you know that bar is in hell
The best part is that I know for sure a few blahaj members have opened accounts here.
And now the freaks are crawling out of the woodworks. Go check NuMetalAlchemist’s post history. Completely full of creepy shit like this:
CW Fucking creepy shit from a fucking creep
HOW DARE YOU GET RID OF THE PORN
I CANT DEAL WITH OPENING A SECOND WEBSITE TO JACK OFF
Not even porn, he’s bitching about jailbait type stuff
Yes I’m sure the people that have been here for 3 years without any federation are going to leave because they aren’t federated with chasers that say “people of nato” anymore.
Absolutely wild take.
So did hexbear ended up defederating from blahaj? Last I saw there was a statement from the hexbear community over on blahaj. Now blahaj said something like hexbear instantly defederated while blahaj admin was asleep and couldn’t take care of the problems. Interesting how hexbear defederated this time, oh how the turns have tabled.
yeah, we defederated. it wasn’t worth subjecting vulnerable members of our community to transphobia, ableism, and racism coming from or being defended by the mod team. “taking care of the problem” in their eyes was a scolding while on hexbear we’ve permabanned site mods for far less. our mod team made the call and the userbase was unanimously in support of the decision.
ah yes, let me back up my bags and move to the… checks notes transphobic trans instance. purge your fucking chasers you

it’s always the same comment
[…] being exposed to Hexbear’s community and content has made me extremely concerned. […] There are posts denying genocide, calls to violence, blatant Russian propaganda, apologists galore for authoritarianism, and the constant assurance that anyone not agreeing with these ideas was obviously a Fascist.
Like five people are going to make accounts over there while retaining accounts here so they can still post on both, so basically hexbear has fallen.
Also do we even have the version of lemmy that lets you block communities
Yes the mod team discussed removing the /c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community from hexbear, but the fact remained that there are multiple instances of appropriate mod actions being taken regarding reactionary lemmy.blahaj.zone users and moderators. Some of the members of the mod team were really angered by the DM leak and with a pretty clear majority of hexbear users wanted to defederate we decided to make one last attempt. We messaged their admin when TomboyShulk made the post and we waited approximately four hours after that to actually remove them based on the action or inaction taken.
