My instance is hosted in Germany and does not seem to defederate from hexbear, I'm subscribed to [email protected] from this account.
I’m sorry to hear that, you should fix that.
I don't want it to. I think instance admins should be defederating from spambot farms, but not much more than that; if there's a chance some of its users want to read it, they should allow its users to.
That is, I want my instance admins to engage in moderation, but not censorship. I think defederating from extremist politics (whether far-left or far-right) is usually censorship, not moderation.
That's not what censorship means. As per defenderating from spambot farms... That's half of hexbear really
If that is so, I have yet to notice it in the wild.
What do you mean?
You're going to have to be a bit more specific. What's what needs clarification?
What do you mean "half of Hexbear is spambot farms?"
It seems pretty clear, I'm sorry I don't understand what needs further explaining.
It doesn't seem pretty clear at all, can you explain that?
If that's not clear already, I'm afraid I'm going to be incapable to dumb it down any further. Sorry!
So you just make.claims and can't justify or prove them? Strange.

I asked you clarification on an absurd claim, and you called me dumb and claimed I'm sealioning. Why make the claim in the first place?

Hexbear isn't driven by real people, it's a politically-motivated, organized effort to spread disinformation.
So basically spambots are fine as long as they are spouting something political?
That's the opposite of what they said.
