And by removing hexbear you remove the other half

Difference being that lemmy.world is willing to engage in good faith as opposed to Hexbear which is perpetually bloodthirsty and hateful.

someone's still upset at being called a chaser and having their actual trans population migrate

Also 'willing to engage' lemmy.world defederated preemptively as a last resort

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Yes ofcourse we defederated preemptively from Hexbear. You can make an account there no need for you on LW

Hexbear activity seems to have dropped significantly since no one wants to be federated with them. Most of the users now lurk in other instances.

Huh? I haven't seen that at all. They existed for years before there were all these instances, they weren't even federated. They'd survive just as well on their own even if every instance blocked them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

The point I was making was less about activity within hexbear, more about their activity in other instances. In the instances they're still federated with, I see fewer hexbear comments but instead comments from lemmy.ml and some others that sound like hexbear users.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

lol the instance that went unfederated for three years needs federation to be active okay

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

The shit half lawl

Hexbear is nowhere close to half of Lemmy. Even the trio of Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml are a small, angry chunk.
