Diplomatic relations have strained between socialist Lemmy instances Hexbear and Lemmygrad as /c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net, one of Hexbear’s most active and influential communities, ceases federation with Lemmygrad.
The seizure in federation was first noted by Lemmygrad user @Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml, who submitted an inquiry to the Embassy of Hexbear on Lemmygrad.
As of the time of writing, no definite cause for the issue has been made public.
Lemmygrad and Hexbear admins are yet to provide an official statement.
Update:
Lemmygrad and Hexbear admins, @GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml and @CARCOSA@hexbear.net respectively, have confirmed that the issue regarding /c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net’s federation with Lemmygrad is not intentional.
The root cause of the disruption is still under investigation.
P.S.
This comment is mainly a joke. While the federation issue and comments are real, I’m just dramatising for fun.
We have not intentionally defederated from any Hexbear community (I don’t even know if it’s possible to do at a community level with an unmodified backend), and neither has Hexbear according to at least one admin. This is likely just a bug.
Is this the Sino-Soviet split of our generation? 😭
It seems completely random to me but they can do whatever they want of course 🤷🏼
I love it, it felt like reading a serious report.
I just joined lemmygrad and am so confused, what?
Lol, it’s a joke. I think the defederation is probably some technical glitch or an oversight. I doubt there is anything more to it.
