The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

So as an update, Hexbear have defederated us after a brief chat I had with an admin. They updated their instance on it here:

Removed lemmy.nz from our allow-list due to irreconcilable political differences between the instances. As well as them committing to permanently blocking hexbear.net

That's not quite how I remember the conversation going, in fact I feel like I said it wasn't permanent (or at least that's what I was trying to imply):

Thanks for reaching out. I do intend to monitor the situation, in particular when more granular tools are available. But for the moment I think we will just watch from the side lines.

But hey, it is what it is.

This has "you can't fire me, I quit" vibes.

Does this mean they can see us, but we don't see them, or are we invisible to them?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I think because we currently have them blocked, and they have now blocked us, this I think means that neither of us see each other (on any server).

Can't say you didn't try. Nice work.

That's actually funny.

Well done Dave. Think you handled it well.
