Lemmy.world Hexbear Statement - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldYesterday, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The
announcement thread can be found here: https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770
[https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770]. After reviewing the thread and the
comments, it became evident that allowing Hexbear to federate would violate our
rules. Our code of conduct and server rules can be found here
[https://lemmy.world/legal]. The announcement included several concerning
statements, as highlighted below: - “Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking
to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to
engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda.
Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will
pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.” - “The
West’s role in the world, through organizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the
World Bank - among many others - are deeply harmful to the billions of people
living both inside and outside of their imperial core.” - “These organizations
constitute the modern imperial order, with the United States at its heart - we
are not fooled by the term “rules-based international order.” It is in the
Left’s interest for these organizations to be demolished. When and how this will
occur, and what precisely comes after, is the cause of great debate and
discussion on this site, but it is necessary for a better world.” The rhetoric
and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western
propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no
intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are
posting/commenting.” It’s to push their beliefs and ideology. In addition,
several comments from a Hexbear admin, demonstrate that instance rules will not
be respected.
Here are some examples: >“I can assure you there will be no lemmygrad brigades,
that energy would be better funneled into the current war against liberalism on
the wider fediverse.” >“All loyal, honest, active and upright Communists must
unite to oppose the liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and set
them on the right path. This is one of the tasks on our ideological front.” -

[https://www.hexbear.net/comment/3652828] To clarify, for those who have
inquired about why Hexbear versus Lemmygrad, it should be noted that we are
currently exploring the possibility of defederating from Lemmygrad as well based
on similar comments Hexbear has made. - https://lemmygrad.ml/post/158656

[https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/446529] Defederation should only be considered as
a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive
outcomes can be expected. We made the decision to preemptively defederate from
Hexbear for these reasons. While we understand that not everyone may agree with
our decision, we believe it is important to prioritize the best interests of our
community.
Get a load of this guy. Apparently, putting forward “beliefs and ideology” are against their code of conduct.
His comment about blocking lemmygrad don’t seem that bad to me, it’s getting a bit annoying seeing lost dotworlders thinking they’re the first one to ever say “communism bad.”
Promoting the unbiased enlightened truth, OBVIOUSLY. Beliefs and ideology are what Others think.
