There's been discussion of federation with Lemmygrad. I think this is probably a good call. I just want to know how the anti-sectarian rule would be enforced. Like, it someone makes an anti-anarchist post on lemmygrad.ml and it shows up on hexbear.net, would the moderators hide the comment on our end but not on Lemmygrad? Would repeat offenders be banned from hexbear.net even though they made the comment on a different iteration?

Same for one of the bigger anarchist instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone which has good leftist and trans content but also has regular struggle sessions about "tankies." It seems like federation with then would be a boon for both sites, but moderating the left unity rule would be a nightmare.

Also, another thought: would downbears from other instances carry over here?

        That's exactly what the default is on other Lemmy instances that have federation if you go take a peek

      This is why we are carefully considering federation because it would ultimatly compromise the current vibe of the site

      So much 100% THIS - there's already stormfront and so many other websites that exist if I really wanted to debate baby brained libs every day.

      This one is very special. I'm sure as someone who has already been hung up on Lemmy with your ban and all that - it's probably not considered polite for you to comment on such things but you probably see the problem better than many.

      If this place turns into some lib-ridden place where I have to scroll past 6000 Slava Ukraini posts and illegal pictures of Tianenmen Square it will be a very sad day.
