Beehaw is the next-largest Lemmy instance after lemmy.ml. They've already defederated themselves from lemmygrad.ml for ~10 months

    Those beehaw losers defederating from lemmy.ml means the Hexbear agenda to take over lemmy.ml faces no real opposition, no?

      The best thing that Hexbear can do is act as the stick to Dessalines' carrot and crucify r/neoliberal type users on sight (and use relative kid gloves with generic libs). That and probably brigade the shit out of minor instances trying to neoliberalize lemmy.

      We just don't have a culture for maintaining a larger community. Perhaps we will develop one, but there's no need to plan for something so unlikely so far in advance.

          Oh, for people actually in Hexbear, fucking nuke 'em. I just meant for Hexbears over on Lemmy we should play nice with the easygoing libs because honey and vinegar.

        I'm thinking of treating it like reddit, roll accounts on there no matter and try to prod people into seeing, eventually get them going over here. The curious ones will bring themselves over since there's no heavy-handed lib censorship issues here nor on lemmygrad.

          Yeah, I think the ideal involves eventually recruiting people to here or lemmygrad, but most of the interesting interaction is going to thereby be on lemmy and other sites.
