Looks like we upset a few too many 
residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.
2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords 
TLDR: if you want to know if an instance will defed hexbear, check its instance block list for lemmygrad.
been making stray comments here and there about this, I'm telling y'all if an instance defeds lemmygrad it is 1000% going to defed hexbear, we're calmer and more solitary than y'all, so all the accusations of trolling or brigading or just generally being "ebil tankies" against the grad can and will be used against hexbear too. I fully expect .world to defed lemmygrad in the next couple months too once they're finally got their shit under control. Is what it is, hopefully normal users still manage to find us and switch to instances that aren't ran by anticommunists.
When I saw that thread last night, I was expecting the links to the "offenses" to be wild. But then it was just bathroom humor, and a singular call to execute landlords, which I found hilarious.
I just do not understand the lack of humor of a lot of people, on these instances. You'd swear their lives are devoid of happiness.
A lot of those are pretexts for defederating I think
What rubs them the wrong way is our position on various issues (despite them being far more deeply argued and sourced than the paltry answers we usually get)
Also, admittedly and to a lesser degree, likely the fact we're numerous and terminally online so anytime something dunkable is posted even the small subset of online hexbear users that see it appear on their feed and interact must look like an army to them
They defederated us for being perfect posters 
Guilty. I will happily reply to every single comment in a thread without even really thinking about it. People think I'm stalking them and it's like "nah, I've just made twenty comments in every single post that was posted today, that's all".
Calls China an Oppressive Regime
Based in country that swore fealty to a pedophile enabling racist royal family which leeches off the people of the UK and imprisons people standing against monarchy.
The UK complaining about China is really rich given the way their courts work, their actual literal king and unelected house of parliament, ASBOs, and the UK being far and away the most exhaustively surveilled country in the world.
they literally have 0 concept of the procession of history, and how the founding of your country less than 200 fucking years ago very much does matter to the present day???
Lmao @ the "not all landlords are bad" comments.
Not all landlords are bad, but all people under 30 can't afford to live in Canadian citys. 
It's almost as if landlordism requires participating in a system of exploitation no matter how "nice" the individual may be
Well, federation was an interesting experiment. Lemmygrad and hexbear 
Special shoutouts to @AccountVerificationBot@hexbear.net, @duderium@hexbear.net, @Sasuke@hexbear.net, @GaveUp@hexbear.net (and probably also @Frank@hexbear.net), and @GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net for being called out specifically.
For the record I think I only posted pigpoopballs two or three times and stopped when people here on hexbear started complaining about it.
Edit: all violence is bad except for structural violence that funds my treats. We have to help the mom-and-pop landlords fight the evil woke global elitist landlords. All revolutions inevitably destroy themselves which is why I am literally a peasant living on a manor and capitalism never happened (since it is human nature and if anything the nature of the universe (who is God except The Great Investor? What was the Big Bang except a massive and highly profitable investment?)), excuse me now while I have my eighth meltdown about China for the day.
You all went out bullying Canadians without me.
I never bought into this whole "Canada" thing anyway
No fucking way that's a real country
Adding to the discussion = spending hours arguing with me over my basic misunderstanding of the world until I declare victory by citing The Economist and calling you a tankie
In a way, it's depressing that it's not "just Reddit" that was top-down silencing any narratives that challenge the mainstream consensus. It's happening now in a more distributed fashion where smaller admins of instances decide that "we don't need any different viewpoints" and defederate
That's how Reddit used to operate on a sub-by-sub basis. People would get banned from subs they'd never even visited, because the admins were angry at them posting in associated subs.
The petty feudal mod atmosphere trickled up to the administration over time, and eventually the admins just adopted a Mods But Sitewide approach to governance.
Admittedly, this was after numerous subs began to actively and deliberately fuck with the money.
But... what do you even want? Redditors gonna Redditor. Even Hexbear went through a period of arbitrarily banning people over petty ego driven shit some years back.
Skill issue
I wish all instances would. They’re the most disingenuous and stupid users I’ve ever seen. They might as well just fling their own poop at people’s houses because that’s the level of value they’re bringing to the internet discourse.
They aren’t here to discuss anything in good faith, they’re here to brigade and harass. That’s all I’ve seen from them.
They are freaks of nature.
least dehumanizing canadians
Hell yeah! O KKKlanada!
The Landlord thing is funny given how out of control the housing crisis is in CA. Like I know people who are having to flee their home city to try to find a place they can afford to live out in the sticks.
lemmy.ca? more like lemmy.caca
boom, gottem. 
Hahaha, the bear spares no one! Not even itself for the sake of @Civility@hexbear.net!
Lmao, you will end up like Lemmygrad. The spectres of Lemmy are us!
Fuck 'em, but I do love throwing this back in the faces of all the twits who say we're an "echo chamber". We literally reach out to all these other perspectives and try to make community with them, and they wuss out. (or rather their losers mods / admins decide for the userbase that they shouldn't see what we're posting)
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
Dunk posts in general go in the_dunk_tank, not here
Don't post low-hanging fruit here after it gets removed from the_dunk_tank
