MODERATORS
it's true 
No I don't know why. What have they done to you?
You all know why
Why tho
"They bully me whenever I do a bigotry"
Ass too fat
The Lemm.ee admin talked about it here
TL;DR: This instance wants to federate with everyone as much as possible. You can block hexbear communities if you'd like.
I have like 60 communities blocked by now but it feels nice to make my own choices.
Many people are very triggered in that post and I don't get it.
No platform is gonna have only decent users and only content you agree with. Resorting to defederation from any instance that is offensive to some people just damages what lemmy is trying to be tbh.
Eventually instances following that mindset will be isolated because there's always someone out there who wants to impose their own content curation (like no NSFW, no politics, no trolling, no memes, etc...)
Users should make the calls for what they want to see on an individual level. Thanks to the admin for sticking to fair policies.

I second that motion. Those guys are just the worst.
🦨 
User goes into a ML space, calls Stalin a "shitbag," gets called a shitbag back, and now they want to defederate because they can't take what they dish out lmao.
hi
I really do wanna be friends but I'm feeling some hostility
I think hexbear should be able to federate because the alternative is censorship

Maybe I'm just living under a rock but I hadn't even heard of, let alone seen, Hexbear prior to this post and had to do a search to see what you were talking about. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
They're absolutely harmless, and I don't understand the recent hubbub. Their culture is a bit strange, but they mostly seem to just want to shitpost about politics in peace. They won't bother you unless you say "defederate hexbear" 3 times in a mirror, and then they swarm, I think just wanting hugs or something.
I for one would absolutely like some hugs instead 
Who tf doesn't want hugs?

We're one of the oldest and by far most established and active community on the lemmyverse. Our instance was forked for a long time because of some backend issues with how our admins wanted pronouns to work on our usernames for example. Just last week we finished updating the site such that we're compatible again and merged. OP is big mad that we're very populated and active so it feels like we're 'brigading' when a thread gets popular. It could also be that we're militantly pro-lgbt (if the pronouns didn't tip you off) and ideologically leftist (usually marxist-lenninists but we have a fair number of anarchist comrades as well).
We're kind of having a laugh at all these people who joined 1-2 months ago from reddit having culture shock at the new site and demand the furniture be arranged to their taste. It could also be as one of us mentioned on a separate thread that OP was doing some casual homophobia and boy do we like bullying people like them. If you sort your lemmy feed by all and sort by active, you'll see posts with hundreds of comments where we're arguing about bigotry like that, disinformation, western chauvinism, ect.
The community was originally on Reddit as /r/chapotraphouse until we along with most other explicitly leftist subs were banned. We've been here for three years ever since. 
We're very scarry 
We have such sights to show you.
There can be no true despair without hope.
This comment section is a prime example. They brigade every single post about China/Russia or about them, and if you find one there are ten others there as well. If you think lemmygrad is bad, hexbear is way worse.
"When we shit talk a community, members of the community respond. Must be a brigade."
