What's the story behind this defederation? I missed that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hexbear only recently started opening itself up to federation. It’s one of the old leftist instances that was around before the reddit api fiasco. Think lemmygrad but more tolerant and pro-lgbtq.

Basically the powers that be determined that Hexbear "violated" Lemmy's TOS by being a little too right wing (their opinion) and therefore chose on behalf of the entirety of Lemmy that the instance should be defederated.

I live here but to be clear, lemmy.world is not "the entirety of Lemmy".

Hexbear is left wing.
