The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

    I would like to see proof of how a community doing its own thing of sharing their radical views on their instance is damaging.

    I haven’t seen any rampant behavior of lemmy.ml users going to other instances and dogpiling certain posts or comment section. That may be defederation worthy.

      The denial of having seen it yourself, is something I don’t believe. Therefore I don’t believe you made your reply in good faith.

      Not all of lemmy.ml is a cesspool filled with poisonous cretins, but they (tankies) control the instance at conversational, moderation and administration level. So it will not change, only get worse.

      Just like we see with the MAGAts… Once you start drinking your own coolaid… the sky is the limit.

        The denial of having seen it yourself, is something I don’t believe.

        If it’s so rampant that you find it unbelievable I haven’t seen it, then it must be very easy to prove. Can you please provide a proof?

        but they (tankies) control the instance…

        It’s their instance. That’s not proper grounds for defederation in my opinion, when the damage is contained within their instance.

          As I stated in my preface, no thank you.

          And if it is contained in their instance… it does not matter that the borders are guarded by deFederation.

            No worries. I never expected you to have the proof anyways, but I wanted readers to be aware that you don’t.

              That’s fair. I think most people can make up their own minds looking at the thread, posts contents and then their own experience in the .ml scape compared to the rest of Lemmy.
