    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.

      Lemmy grad actively denies Genocides. Lemmygrad says that that Tienanmen Square was fabricated by the U.S.

      Lemmygrad consistently host antiwhite racism and then defends it by saying something like it’s not racist because white people aren’t real or something

      Exploding-heads will poke fun at gender dysphoria in two communities, dank memes and dank taco.

      EH is morally superior to lemmygrad in every way.

      Finally,

      You all should be using nostr where admins can’t take your voice away or your right to hear opposing opinions.

        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.

        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 🤷‍♂️

          While I’m personally bias (see right above), from my experience the general content in alt right spaces (I’ve been on wolfballs, idk about exploding heads tho) is a bit more unhinged than general content on Marxist/left unity spaces. I mean we MLs agree with the “vaguely leftist” person more than a alt right person.

          I personally like to try meeting people where they are and don’t block as long as the content isn’t harmful. And imho a random person on the internet saying a 19th century philosopher was right is not that harmful, especially compared to people down the alt right rabbit hole (yes I’m oversimplifing).
