Since the federation the comment sections got so inflammatory. Literally everything gets turned into some political "capitalism bad" or "the west bad" discussion. It made Lemmy very annoying for me to use....

    I consider myself to be radical left-wing, but 95% of the content on hexbear is completely useless. It's an echo-chamber for whiney bitch-ass tanky trolls, powerlessly memeing their lives away and not contributing anything even to their marginalized corner of political discourse.

    That being said: I say don't defederate. They might behave like idiots sometimes, but defederating weakens the network as a whole and the cost is disproportionate to the benefit in this case.
