What’s the story behind this defederation? I missed that

TBH reading “their” opinion on Russia and the Russia war I can see why people would just simply want them to stay within their weird island. Well defederation is still not a cool option in general for the platform as a whole but I can see how admins of instances read stuff like that and can’t help but let their own opinion influence their decision. I would probably stay away from these as well.

I can sort of understand why tbf. Just playing the devil’s advocate here but the issue is that today it’s fine and shitposts are shitposts but Poe’s law will come into action at some point.

Hexbear only recently started opening itself up to federation. It’s one of the old leftist instances that was around before the reddit api fiasco. Think lemmygrad but more tolerant and pro-lgbtq.

Basically the powers that be determined that Hexbear “violated” Lemmy’s TOS by being a little too right wing (their opinion) and therefore chose on behalf of the entirety of Lemmy that the instance should be defederated.

I live here but to be clear, lemmy.world is not “the entirety of Lemmy”.

I find it funny when people cry “FrEdOoM oF eXpReSsIoN” when instances defederate. Isn’t this the whole point and the good thing about federated social media? People who own the instances decide what to do with their instances
