Holy shit, from your comment history it does not surprise me at all that you think that.

There are also posts on lemmy.ca, discuss.online, mander.xyz, and dbzero as well, and those are just the threads I'm following with popcorn, not to say how many others there are that I haven't seen yet.
It’s just hilarious that they’re getting laughed out the door all over Lemmy after begging everyone for money, like, once again, my initial comment said. No conspiracies needed, just the consequences of their own actions.
It's not a conspiracy - it's a perfectly reasonable and expected route for the devs to take, and literally nobody said that instance owners were being strong-armed into doing this.

And I'm sure the fact that all of the instance owners just happened to post within hours of each other is totally a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the devs reaching out to them and asking them to do so.
Because they're begging for money all over Lemmy and getting laughed at for it because of .ml censorship policies?
No u.
Oh wait, you can't, because even Reddit was smart enough to ban your asses half a decade ago.
Hexbears gonna hexbear.
Sounds like a really good reason to not make that incredibly important test instance so shitty and toxic then, but that's the choice they made.
Exactly. Everyone in here is like "oh, .ml is their test instance - there's nothing they can do about it!"
Like, you could make your test instance not a cesspool, and then people would be a lot more willing to support it.
Sounds like that should be more of an incentive to make sure the instance isn't shit then.
Most of Lemmy is fine - just avoid the tankie triad of lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, and hexbear and you should be good to go.
Edit: And maybe also the instances that haven't defederated hexbear in particular, since when they show up threads tend to go to shit, as you're seeing here, unfortunately.
