Defederating from Hexbear must be one of the least controversial things a Lemmy admin could do.
- Federating with Hexbear is the more contentious position. Knowing what I know now, I would not consider using an instance that is federated with Hexbear.
  
  They aren't all that bad honestly. I find lemmyml to actually be worse. Lemmyml has some bad eggs.
  
  Hexbear is weird but in general they tend to be fairly civil. Can't say that for much else regarding tankies.
  
  Edit:
  
  I'm kind of wrong. They reason I said this was that I've seen normal discussion and even helpful comments from some hexbear users. However, it looks like they were just a sliver of civil in the greater hexbear circlejerk.
  
  Why? It's pretty easy to ignore them, and you're only impacted if they happen to join communities you frequent. It turns out my interests and their interests have very little overlap...
- Blender tutorials are like:
  
  OK you start Blender up, you delete the default cube...
  
  Lemmy installation tutorials are like:
  
  OK you install Lemmy on your server, you defederate from Hexbear...
The shitheads whining about how unfair it is their favorite fascist hangout was defederated are so predictable.
- Hey pug, it's been a while since I've used lemmy, but from this post how do you visit the link without leaving SJW?
  
  You can also copy paste the link ( https://startrek.website/post/15928569 ) into your search bar:
  
  idk, I just checked through Startrek instance. Using an exclamation mark before a community name can send you through your own instance, but that requires the link poster to do it.
I’m a bit surprised. I thought all major instances had defederated from hexbear like a year ago.

They sure know how to make friends over there.
- I checked the other day when discussing wiith @[email protected]

  Pretty sure .world has them defederated.
- I wouldn't say startrek.website is a major instance anymore. A lot of their usebase migrated to .world's Ten Forward community.
The Federation setup a DMZ with the cardassians!
- I'm pretty sure almost no one is using Star Trek website after the drama. This probably won't affect many.
Based.
If we are being honest the interest in startrekwebsite as diminished after the drama that lead everyone to move to ten forward.

Still mildly interesting though
Congrats!
