  • Well trying to get a sense of Hexbear from a post at the top of my feed has me convinced Lemmy isn’t for me. Just seeing how radicalized they are has me afraid of the communities that can be bred here. Sunaurus you’re great and if all instances could be run by people as open minded and well intentioned as you Lemmy would be an amazing place. Good luck!

    I appreciate your perspective on this. I think something weird is going on there in the past couple of days. I was pretty unaware of them until literally yesterday I found myself in the comment section with some of the most bafflingly insane opinions I’ve seen (imo anyway). I strongly suspect they’re being astroturfed hard by Russia right now. There’s no way to mark their community suspicious or something in our feeds? Lemmy needs more instance to instance controls than than just severing ties.

    Imo I would give it a few days and then defederate if they continue to be problematic. It would be great if someone occasionally reviewed defederated instance because that’s going to fragment the fediverse so badly

    Edit: also staying federated gives us the opportunity/responsibility to downvote and confront propaganda when we see it which I don’t see happening much
