I like a few non-political sublemmies from lemmyworld because they are big. But the political ones are so toxic they literally allow citing mein kamf and dehumanizing Russians. Isn’t it hypocritical for their admins to accuse us of “negativity” when they literally allow racism on their instance? The commenters on their defed post call lemmygradians hateful, I think that’s projection
Liberals are against all forms oppression except those that they like (speciesism, Russophobia, Slavophobia, Sinophobia).
HB does fine have never been federated with them. I honestly assumed they were already defederated from you all. Yes, the reason they gave is obviously a fig leaf, they’re a bunch of liberal cowards.
They were federated with LG until the Reddit influx. I think the thought of HB federation made them scared and that was carried over to LG since it was the first time many of them had regularly interacted with “tankies”.
They proactively defedded hexbear like 2 months before you federated. I think they cited how much hexbear “brigades”. (just for context)
The defederated from Hexbear as a preemptive last resort.
