Argument about why an instance doesn’t want to federate with another instance that’s devoted to political trolling. Apparently that kind of behavior is simply a core tenet of the belief system, and to criticize it is to reject the whole ideology.

You can’t wash you hands of your instance members actions by claiming you didn’t instigate it, especially when there are multiple cases (later deleted of course when people started linking them) of Hexbear admins saying that this behaviour is totally ok with them.
Hexbear users, mods, admins and myself did not make posts in other communities that were attempts to bait, troll, or “brigade”. We may have commented in posts questioning liberalism, and I acknowledge that there was a bug with cross-instance emojis but the behavior of me, the other admins, and hexbear users are in accordance with every other federated instance.
You and many other admins have a problem with hexbear’s ideology, which I understand it is difficult to be questioned from the left when acting as the adults in the room but if that is the reason then say so.
Which is besides the point as we are discussing the federation of hexbear and lemmy.world. As .world admins preemptively defederated with hexbear because hexbear is a leftist instance.
What was your (slrpnk admin’s) reasoning for also preemptively defederating from hexbear?
You are either gaslighting yourself or are trying to do so with possible readers here if you deny the problematic cross-instance behavior of many (not all of course) Hexbear users or the tacit approval of that by the admins (clearly shown by the inaction of them). This, and only this is the reason we defederated, and to my knowledge was also the main reason why lemmy.world defederated.
You (slrpnk) and .world defederated from hexbear before we enabled federation as a result of either a malicious misunderstanding of the hexbear local post regarding federation or not even reading the entire hexbear federation post.
How can there be problematic cross-instance behavior if hexbear wasn’t federated when you made the choice to defederate?
As with this entire discussion you seem to be able to give a surface level reading while applying your own personal bias against hexbear, creating a strawman when the facts are linked in this very post.
