Sorry (๐Ÿ) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

Their post about our defederation is absolutely unhinged, I must say โ€“ top keks if you can handle reading it. Seriously, though, I am quite shocked at the amount of vitriol on their instance; being a leftist myself, I don't really understand the point of being mean to everyone that they would presumably want to help via their politics.

โ€œOh, you live in a Western country and are subject to late-stage capitalist horrors? Let me save you โ€“ wait, you don't agree with me? Then go screw yourself, good luck in the revolution.โ€

Certainly education would be the solution, overcome the Stockholm syndrome?

Oh well, good riddance.

They genuinely believe the dumb shit they say. Successfully indoctrinated cultists ready to be pulled by their puppet strings by anyone with the savvy and the need/desire

Not directly affected here (i'm at a different instance), but it's pretty easy to spot their users, they behave like it's 4chan or some shit discord server, stickers everywhere. No wonder reasons 2 and 3 are spot on.

Posting (...) pig poop balls is hilarious

Only if you're a fucking idiot

Reasonable. Makes me consider switching instances...
