Comment on Hexbear federation megathread

I’ve seen more posts complaining about Hexbear than actual objectionable things they’ve done. Maybe that’s a sign of effective moderation, but in general I agree that defederation should always be a very last resort, and it doesn’t feel like we’re even close.
Also, with the ability for users to block instances coming soon, I think everyone will be happy then. At least, users anyway, it will still be down to the admin team to determine if the moderation workload is excessive and act accordingly - but that decision is and should be up to you.

I’ve seen a few posts from instances we’ve never federated with claiming outlandish things about hexbear such as that we’re unmoderated, they’re controlled by ExplodingHeads, that we overwhelmed the moderation team at Lemmy.world (who once again, we were never federated with), accusations of racism/misogyny/transphobia, etc. There’s at least a couple people who’re just making shit up, but that’s to be expected.
