I thought this was a bit overkill, because they seemed well behaved for the most part, although a bit annoying every now and then. But this comment section shows exactly why we probably should. They're so combative and seem to completely dominate the discussion.
Yeah, I came into this thread expecting to defend letting blahaj be federated with hexbear, but I'm left seeing a comment section being armwrestled by hexbear users, when this post should really be predominantly blahaj users weighing in on the pros and cons, and the impact of hexbear onto our instance.
Checking this thread from an instance that has defederated hexbear is a wildly different experience.
Yeah, I logged on to my lemmy.world account to see a more local discussion... which is ironic.
I might have to try that just to see lmao.
Here's the view from over on slrpnk
Jesus, I didn't realize that meant solarpunk. That's not exactly a healthy sign, and neither is the fact I feel significantly less want to defed reading that version of the thread than this one.
Hexbear has a reputation for brigading. They do this intentionally to deny everyone else a platform and shut down any real discussion. They aren't here to talk in good faith.
Yup.
