I think it has become more than apparent that our federation with Hexbear has degraded the quality of browsing on this instance. I'm generally for open federation, but the amount of brigading and general toxicity is not conducive to the friendly communications that make Lemmy great.
I know, I thought about bringing it up but I didn't think it would help make my point. I think the larger point (that self-described libertarians aren't all obsessed with age of consent the way that American ones are) is still valid, but it is very unfortunate that the poster example of what I'm trying to describe had Epstein as an accountant.
