It's been over a day of federation. Does it take longer, or does someone have to manually add Hexbear?

    The admin of join-lemmy thinks we are already on it. They don't want to remove the nazis because they are afraid someone will ask to remove hexbear.

      The instance list is fine as is. Think about it like this: do you want racists to join a single instance so they are all in one place? Or do you want them to spread across all different instances, causing moderation problems everywhere?

      I want to be charitable here and assume this is in good faith, but I can't help but point out that this is almost one-for-one the containment board logic non-/pol/ 4channers used to justify the existence of /pol/.

      Honestly, if removing them gets us removed, that is a good decision. We'll outpost them anyways.

        but he controls the fucking list, so who cares about impartiality, do the thing that is good to do for the platform and for spreading socialism

          Yadda yadda structural materialist consequences etc. etc.

          Not that I disagree with you, it's just a radical departure from what lemmy has been doing, which means it is unlikely. Idk what the whole financial situation is, but I would bet that there is some degree of incentive in keeping them around aside from purely freeze-peach ideology.

            If the response then is to acquiesce to helping reactionary platforms continue to grow, that means you've already been co-opted. If you can't not do advertising for Nazis, what kind of revolutionary change are you promoting?

        Go into the thread, find a comment by someone from Hexbear, and click the little colorful icon next to their comment--that brings up that comment on Hexbear, from which you can get to the full thread.

        Or you can just go to it here: https://hexbear.net/post/285151

            I think it's because the original comment is from an instance we might not be federated with

            I think that user is on an instance that doesn't federate with us :( You'll have to make an account over on lemmy.ml, I'm afraid.

                Yeah but the top-level comment is from someone at slrpnk.net; if that instance federated, we wouldn't see the beehaw admin arguing (rightly) in favor of dropping the nazis from join-lemmy, but we'd still see Nutomic's response to the top-level comment and could call him a lib there.

                  I guess they are somewhat less tankie leaning, but make up for it with shere toxicity and low effort shit-posting. I don’t really want to have to moderate that here all the time given that their admins are highly unlikely to do it on their end.

                  Maybe their current toxic community will dilute out a bit over time and removing them from the block list could be considered in the future.

                  They did the same preemptive defederation lemmy world did, despite user disagreement.

                  Solarpunk is a (mostly) aesthetic-cultural and (sometimes) ethical-political tendency

                  Solarpunk instance has no punk. It’s liberalism wanting a few more plants around. But at least they state upfront they are into aesthetics over politics, I guess?

                    Yeah I wasn't advocating for federating with them, just pointing out that it's that instance, not beehaw, that keeps us from seeing that part of the thread entirely. Honestly I think lemm.ee and lemmy.ml are providing a plentiful supply of libs to dunk on as it is, no need to add a bunch more (in retrospect we owe the dot world admins some gratitude lol)

      Wait what instance is the one with nazis in it? Seems pretty obvious to me to only advertise the instances that aren't batshit insane, if they wanna find those the nutcases can dig
