Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn’t give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it’s about de-platforming fascists.
The link for the original doesn’t seem to work. I assume there’s some missing context here. Still funny that they’re calling hexbear pro-Russia and fascist. The comment isn’t even by a hexbear. It’s by one of ours.

You aren’t causing hexbears any problems, smooth brain libs are looking for a reason to cry to their admins. You got caught in the fire. If they don’t defederate it will be some other fake contravorsey they’ll come up with next week.
Though it is tough to know when someone is targeting people, or governments. I guess I always lean on longer posts myself. Just in case.
This was my take as well. If this was in one of the programming communities then I can see the need to ensure that we word our comments in a way in which they cannot be taken out of context. But this was on hexbear which is a safe space for us to talk without having to worry about that.
As a long time hexbear user, you’re causing no issues. Our resident anarchist (as in one of the more active ones) just got us to defederate from blahaj because their 196 comm has a “Fuck Tankies” banner and they hopped in and dragged the mod there about it until the mod threw a temper tantrum and removed their comments.
What you said is pretty tame compared to usual posting there lol
See here for some good Hexbear left unity
