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.
To be fair hexbear is the only instance that’s free from whining about hexbear.
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
In another 10 to 15 years there’ll be yet another user schism when LemmyTM gets legal control over openLemmy and the commercially induced enshittificattion creates yet another user base diaspora onto yet another tankie invented social network safe space and; just like our gayborhoods; the user base gentrification will price us both out and we’ll both likely join the ranks of that diaspora.
I think obstinacy is going to remain in season until the election and witnessing it all happen all over again is tiring and I now I think I understand how liberals feel about tankies not voting for Kamala no matter how much you try to warn them and now it stings because we’re trekies; we’re better than this!!!
You can’t beat the beat the tankies; they’re like roaches of the capitalist system; they will outlive all of us. Every single time you kick them out of the safe space that they created for themselves it turns into shit and your willful ignorance makes everyone do this userbase migration all over again and that’s goes for both the lemmyverse and the election!
Okay.
