Perfect outcome, they get to feel superior despite doing nothing - which is their only goal - and we get to clean their mess.
They have a very different view of what constitutes an unsafe space, for the last day or so every time I saw a username with pronouns my whole body would tighten up anticipating some randomly aggressive attack post. I hate that they made me feel that way about something that should be good. I will not miss them.
One of them made a post on Egg_irl with Astolfo which seems to be almost saying that they think Femboys and GNC are just trans girls in denial. Really didn’t sit well with me since I know that that kind of think is very hurtful to Femboys and has been very hurtful to me as well as an Agender.

Edit: hexbear is currently down so I can’t, I’ll remove the post as soon as hexbear comes back online
I just looked and Hexbear seems to be back up but they now have a blocked list and lemmy.blahaj.zone is on it. Seems they defederated from us.
Edit 2: hexbear is still not coming back up so I’ll report the post on this account and ask the mods to delete it, sorry for any discomfort I caused you
All is forgiven 😉
iirc, deleting the post from hexbear would not have done anything, defederation affects any interaction with blahaj
Thank fuck. I was getting really tired of people picking fights everywhere over dumb shit.
This explains why my feed has been less hectic since I got on a few minutes ago.
Issues with 196 aside, those Hexbear folks sure are a contentious people.
They can block specific communities like lemmy.world did with the major piracy community. If they have a problem with a specific community but not the rest of the instance, they didn’t need to go so far as to defederate from the entire lemmy.blahaj.zone instance, though given current tensions between the two instances I doubt they’ll be missed. Either way, it is a massive strength of the fediverse that when admins make these decisions, users can easily leave and move to another instance with very little hassle
