Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

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. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

      Blatant indifference to their own community policies is an excellent reason to defederate.

        And everyone on lemmy.ca follows community guidelines? Let’s be realistic. It’s a few bad actors (that we’ve already isolated!), just ban them.
