Reason I’m asking is because I used to have an account here, but I got locked out of my Bitwarden (and thus loss access to the password) so I just decided it’s a good opportunity to try out new instances. I remember hexbear being blocked last time I used dbzer0? Did I remember wrong? If hexbear was blocked, why did you decide to refederate? I thought this instance didn’t like tankies?

    See here’s the thing: if dbzer0 federated with everyone, that would be very easy to understand. But defederating lemmygrad while federating hexbear??? I mean be consistent, either block both or neither. Blocking only one is very odd to me. It’s like locking the driver’s side of your car, and leaving the passenger side’s door wide open.

    I’m not criticizing the policies or anything, I’m just confused, especially if hexbear was already defederated. I mean like… instance owners can do whatever they want, I don’t really care since they own the instance, I’m just confused why federation/defederation policies are so inconsistent.

    This post is me trying resolve my confusion. Please do not misunderstand my intent, I respect your right to make your own decisions.

      Yeah I absolutely get what you mean. But as I said. What I said is not my opinion, it’s a possible explanation. I don’t really give two craps about politics.

      Lemmygrad is explicitly sectarian. Hexbear is not, even if it has a majority of ML users.

      There is an anarchism community in Hexbear.
