    I understand the reasoning but I think it’s not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent. Exploding heads is just violent propaganda. I hope you defederate.

    What about hexbear? Is programming.dev federated with them? Or are they intentionally defederated with everyone?

      hexbear split off and has been running their own fork for awhile separate from the rest of lemmy (so they couldnt federate with lemmy instances). They are coming back now though so lemmy instances will start to be able to interact with them soon

          Ah yeah just checked and looks like I see can see their communites, didnt realize they already joined in. So yes we are federated with them atm, just if a community hasnt been subscribed to yet by anyone the posts from it wont show up in the feeds

          Not from what I’ve seen. They filled up 90% of a thread about China/Taiwan with hundreds of comments supporting the CCP. Quite a few were just troll messages, too.

        Their interactions in threads were unpleasant, and a small group of them were persistently provoking lemmyworld users.

        If you search exploding-heads you might come across some examples, if they haven’t been nuked from that instance.

        Aside from that, I find Hexbear users really pleasant, and I’ve never seen a lemmygrad user provoke anyone 🤷‍♂️

        The content that occasionally ended up in my All feed was mostly Hate against trans people (I.e. being happy about people’s suicide), or complete nonsense conspiracies.
