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.
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.
how so?
Working as designed.
Literally how it was designed! I will never understand the people who think “free speech” means everyone else has to be forced to listen to them.
you want people to leave the lemmyverse?
I want problem communities to be isolated from the larger population
defederation doesn’t do this. it was mean to; but it doesn’t work as it was intended.
doing so only excludes your community from the main group chat that everyone else can see, which empowers them over you in addition to creating those inactive/no-content subs for your community.
so nothing about this situation is working as designed.
and to answer your other glib comment: star trek matters to me so i don’t want to see this instance wither away from lack of content. that’s why i’m trying despite the toxic attempts to shoot the messenger.
Don’t be on a problem instance
