There's a community on Hexbear called mutualaid that's really nice, but IIRC Lemmy World defederated from Hexbear.
Ok, new to the fediverse, but I now have a question. I'M hosted on Lemmy.World. You're saying we defederated from Hexbear.
So, does that mean I can't go to Hexbear content since we defederated?
And it brings up a second question, how do I know WHY they defederated? Because I don't know anything about Hexbear, other than it's an instance we defederated from.
Because for all I know it could be personal bickering. "Oh those guys rooted for the wrong vampire in twilight......we only support the OTHER vampire!!!"
Meanwhile I'm like "I don't give a shit about any of this....
I left Lemmy World in favor of my current account due to them defederating from instances. I like to be able to choose what I can and cannot interact with, and SDF doesn't defederate with anyone.
Lemmy allows for individuals to block instances in the account settings anyway.
AFAIK, lemmy.world defederated from hexbear due to political differences.
At that time Lemmy didn't support instance blocking at the user level. After the devs released that update it still took time for world to upgrade. Updates were coming out every couple of weeks and world likes to wait for about 6 weeks of stability on a release.
