There something about .world's culture that supports uncritically circlejerking about how bad is.
Mention hexbear and you'll get half a dozen .world comments accusing them of anything from being secret republicans to antisemites to russian trolls or chinese bots, and how awful they were when they brigaded every thread on .world.
Note that .world has never been federated with them.
(actually they were for a short while, right after hexbear started federating with other instances (hexbear had until then been completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse as their fork of lemmy didn't support federation). that was a very chaotic time though)
Nope, Lemmy.world "preemptively de-federated" hexbear "as a last resort" before federation
It's crazy what people falsely remember from other people just making shit up though.
Huh. I must have mixed it up with another instance then
