All responsible server admins have them defederated. Hate speech and genocide denial, that is almost certainly against the law in Canada, Germany, and other places. We defederated lemmygrad for the same reason.
I specifically chose my instance because it’s not blocked or being blocked by too many instances.
I’d rather judge myself what I want to be exposed to.
I guess server admins who haven’t defederated them are either with them ORRR they put more responsibility towards their users.
Or they live in a country where genocide denial is legal. I live in Canada and my server is in Canada. I’m not willing to take the risk so my users can interact with assholes.
I thought the same thing, but got worn down by the constant negativity and rage.
In your instance' case, db0 has said IIRC that the Anarchists on Hexbear, while not aligning 100% with them, are generally good and worth being federated with.
I did the same, that's why I ended up in lemm.ee. but after being exposed to hexbear, and in lesser extend to ml, I ended up blocking both.
I haven't seen hex users in a while, not sure if lemm.ee defederated. If so I'm really grateful.
There is an instance block feature you can use in the settings as a user, that seems to work pretty well for not seeing hexbear stuff
I got a bit of harassment from hexbear users when I started using Lemmy, haven't in a while now though, I have blocked around 30 of them and instance block
My instance is hosted in Germany and does not seem to defederate from hexbear, I'm subscribed to !history@hexbear.net from this account.
I’m sorry to hear that, you should fix that.
I don't want it to. I think instance admins should be defederating from spambot farms, but not much more than that; if there's a chance some of its users want to read it, they should allow its users to.
That is, I want my instance admins to engage in moderation, but not censorship. I think defederating from extremist politics (whether far-left or far-right) is usually censorship, not moderation.
That's not what censorship means. As per defenderating from spambot farms... That's half of hexbear really
If that is so, I have yet to notice it in the wild.
What do you mean?
You're going to have to be a bit more specific. What's what needs clarification?
What do you mean "half of Hexbear is spambot farms?"
It seems pretty clear, I'm sorry I don't understand what needs further explaining.
It doesn't seem pretty clear at all, can you explain that?
If that's not clear already, I'm afraid I'm going to be incapable to dumb it down any further. Sorry!
So you just make.claims and can't justify or prove them? Strange.

I asked you clarification on an absurd claim, and you called me dumb and claimed I'm sealioning. Why make the claim in the first place?
https://wondermark.com/c/1062/
Hexbear isn't driven by real people, it's a politically-motivated, organized effort to spread disinformation.
So basically spambots are fine as long as they are spouting something political?
That's the opposite of what they said.
