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?
Could be possible that you’ve mixed up hexbear and lemmygrad? Lemmygrad is defedded from dbzer0, while hexbear is not.
There are a couple of instances defederated from hexbear if you prefer, like lemmyworld, beehaw, and blahaj to name a few
