This instance has defederated from hexbear.net for violating our rules against propaganda as outlined in our Terms of Service. If you are unfamiliar, federation means two servers sync and host each other’s content. Defederation stops us from syncing their content to our server.
Could it be that the behavior of hexbears created the bubble?
Perhaps most groups don’t want to associate with fascist apologists.
To be fair hexbear is the only instance that’s free from whining about hexbear.
how so?
There is a common debate on free speech in the US over of a platform should be punished for enforcing decorum on their users. Typically, it comes from the far right MAGA crowd griping when places kick them off for doing far right MAGA things, posting hateful content and persistently attacking anyone outside their bubble.
Hexbear is the tankie equivalent of something like ‘truth social’ or ‘gab’ who welcomes their type of extremists.
An individuals right to free speech does NOT meant an instance admin is compelled to amplify their message and help propagate it. This was argued over on every social media platform already and the only one to unban the extremists they banned in any quantity was after Elon took over Twitter.
