A lot of people haven’t read the essay that created such controversy.
Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj

I’m all for supporting trans issues and all but like bro can I not be criticized for enjoying a game from a beloved childhood franchise? You know how many artists are garbage people? It’s just gotten easier to know who sucks because they all get big heads and go on twitter.

It didn’t even look bad tbh. I view it as the admin getting hard baited by a hexbear user. Do take in mind - you aren’t alone in this sentiment. Basically everybody here told our admins it would be a bad idea to defederate.

Any chance you can clarify something? I’m not from either involved instance, obviously, but I’m curious about what some users said about your admins being pro-hexbear. Is there any truth to it?
Meganium97@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
What? No way in hell. Our admins have expressed genuine hate for hexbear, and the community agrees. Hexbear has had a track record of antisocial transphobic users who will do anything to get offended at anyone, for any reason.
Basically, they’re 4chan and Twitter, but only the bad parts.

I’m confused, and you seem to know what’s going on.
Are you saying it’s trolls with hexbear accounts? Or it’s trolls originating from Hexbear that make accounts in your instance to troll?
.world defederated from them months ago so I’m out of the loop.
It’s just seems like defederating and something like requiring emails for signups would fix that.

I gotcha. It seemed entirely off-base, considering the generally well thought out defederations. This defederation confused me enough to wonder, but I’m happy to be told otherwise. Loathe me some dramabear.
