Lemmy.world still discussing if they want to defederate from an instance taken over by exploding-heads.
An instance that includes such gems as
CW Transphobia, Homophobia
Strange pattern emerging from lemmy.world with an admin advertising their business in the adhd community, allowing virulently Islamophobic atheistmemes community and now repeating the exploding-heads (we have to patiently discuss blocking the instance) course of action instead of a preemptive defederation, it is their last resort though.
The post on lemmy.world discussing it as well: https://lemmy.world/post/2680147
As of this post the blocked instances are here
spoiler
Reading those comments makes me realize what a special place we have here.
I don’t want to federate anymore tbqh
I wonder if we were to do another
on whether hexbear should federate, if we’d get roughly the same ratio of people for it and against as last time, or if there would turn out to be more people getting wary about the whole prospect of federation, if not outright changing their mind. Would some of the 
people be more trepidatious maybe? Just given how weird things have gotten around here recently (imo) and how much the inter-instance drama has already become so prevalent of a topic. And we haven’t even federated yet!There are valid reasons to federate, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about some of the potential ways it could change this community.

Liberals continue to prove they are just fascism-light.
This is why anti-communism should always be treated with suspicion.
Hexbear: Our community has different opinions on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, and we are not pro-NATO.
Lemmy.world: Don’t federate with these tankies!
Rammy.site: <Straight up transphobia, homophobia, and other bigoted fascist rhetoric>
Lemmy.world: Uhm… should we really defederate from them just for being offended?
Scratch a
and a 
bleeds, indeed.
Curious
Did they ever try to reach the admins here?
No, when I asked them about it in the admin channels they started calling me a troll, spamming me with clown emojis and asking me to prove ill suck off a liberal???
So they’re openly admitting that they’re treating a transphobic nazi instance better than a trans inclusive leftist one. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, every single time.
From the LW admin:
Honestly those ultra right-wingers are pretty bad but the ultra left-wingers are worse.
which group of admins is saying this, the lemmy.ml admins? or lemmy.world
why do they all keep choosing the same names
lemmy.world, lemmy.ml admins & mods are good people
