What is lemmy.world doing defederating before hexbear even federates? lemmy.world/instances

This is what it took to defederate from exploding-heads after being federated with them since the start of lemmy.world

What evidence do you have of hexbear breaking the lemmy or citizen code of conduct?

Has the criteria for defederation changed?

Hexbear is one of the largest and most active lemmy instances:

    Their first rule is that you can’t criticize communism… I’m totally in support of defederating with every instance that is poised to become toxic echo-chamers, which censore reality and open discussion in order to peddle misinformation and propoganda…

    Those cesspits should be isolated to fester instead of rotting other people’s brains with their propoganda and censorship. Good riddance.

      No it isn’t. That’s literaly not Hexbear’s rules. The closest thing to that in Hexbear’s rules would be this one:

      We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith. With that said, we are also an intentionally leftist platform; conservative and reactionary ideologies will not be tolerated here.

      I think this is my favourite comment in this thread. The clear logical fallacy of it without a shred of self reflection legitimately made me laugh for minutes. Well done.

        There’s no hypocrisy in what I said. I don’t support creating echo-chamers thru censoring discussion.

        It’s not hypocritical to say I don’t agree with federating with instances which construct/enforce specific narratives/propoganda that others are exposed to.

        That’s like saying you can’t support free speech and not be okay with libel or false rape accusations. Bullshit.

        Whether I agree with the narrative or not, forced narratives and censoring dissenting discussion is bad for communities and breeds extremism and echo-chamers.

          You are advocating for doing that by advocating for defederation. This completely lacks any self awareness.

        No. Stop with the Red Herring.

        Disallowing criticism in general is not the same thing as endorsing fascism.
