I’m out of the loop: What’s the deal with Hexbear?
They are authoritarian Russian/Chinese stans, pretending to be leftists.
No one stans Russia in hexbear, we literally say “the collapse of the Soviet Union was the largest humanitarian disaster of the latter half of the 20th century”
Instances can defederate whenever they want, but skimming the sidebar and announcements, it’s weirder to me that lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad, which seems to be very similar to hexbear.
Anyone have any insight into the difference between lemmygrad and hexbear?
Lemmygrad is marxist leninist
Hexbear is leftist unity, larger, and more shitpostery. Also hexbear has more trans users because of even better moderation and pronoun tags being the default.
You want to defederate from the largest Lemmy instance, the poster child, and the mascot of Lemmy? Good luck. They are Lemmy now.

The way .world has dominated is problematic for federation, honestly.
I agree, but it’s too late now. Even Sync defaults to the .world instance, and at this rate, they’ll only grow bigger.
Yeah it won’t happen on its own, there would need to be a concentrated effort to oppose .world domination at this point.
It won’t be a problem until .world starts demanding mutual defederation (i.e. instances federated with .world have to pledge to defederate from instances .world deems problematic)
