Isn’t lemm.ee still federated with hexbear? I used to have an account over there and fled to .world when the admin refused to stop apologizing for their God awful behavior.
Nah lemmy.ml didn’t slip under the radar, it’s intentionally still federated with because it’s the main instance of the core lemmy developers. Said developers also own and operate lemmygrad, but lemmy.ml is meant to be neutral ground.
lemmy.ml never really used to be that bad, either. It was only after the mass defederation of hexbear that users from there started making alt accounts in other instances, lemmy.ml being one of the main ones and, unfortunatley, lemm.ee getting its share also. lemmy.ml is still ostensibly neutral ground, however now it has a pack of refugee users skewing how its perceived.
I think feddit.uk is still federated with hexbear btw.
Nah man, I’ve been banned twice now simply for mentioning that time Russia shot down a civilian airliner over Ukraine. .ml is very fucking far from neutral.
I think it was primarily /c/worldnews over there that has that issue, what really doesn’t help is they use the same font and colour as the same community from lemmy.world.
They defederated because people were being mean to them (after they brigaded numerous threads, were omnipresent nuisances and annoyances, and posted a pig shitting on its own balls everywhere).
Back when blahaj.zone defederated from hexbear the tankies started brigading blahaj and spamming comments about how “transphobic” blahaj’s mods/admin are. I pointed out how absurd this argument was given the admin and many of the mods are actual trans people.
This upset some moron and they posted a comment “calling me out” on c/dunktank.
It’s reassuring that most people have forgotten about hexbear.

Think a lot of big places defederated with lemmygrad and hexbear. .ml slipped under the radar, so you have to block it manually.

i left .ml because i kept getting banned when arguing with tankies

Nah ml isn’t neutral. I was banned for saying NATO is a defence alliance
I also find shitjustworks to be bad.
What happened to them anyway?

Given that “the dunk tank” is still one of their bigger subs, id say theyre still brigading.

Yup, sounds about right. And then they circlejerk over how righteous they are 🙄
.world defederated with hexbear preemptively, but i’m sure hexbear would have defederated with .world pretty quickly anyway.
But i shouldn’t speculate, and you shouldn’t lie.
Preemptively? It should’ve happened even sooner. They should lose .ml also.
