If you want to argue with folks, go create accounts on those instances. Don't clutter up my experience on this site because you want to argue with a bunch of people on the internet.
worth noting that you can just filter out all posts that originate from comms/external instances that aren't Hexbear's. Users from other federated instances can post in Hexbear's comms and you'll see that - but those posts would be subject to Hexbear moderation and whatnot.
It just doesn't make sense to me. Nobody on hexbear is hopefully using their real name, so what are you gaining by having federation? Bringing your clout with you to other sites?
more users, posts, etc. not to mention solidarity with other leftist places like lemmygrad. I mean - just look at some of the instances Bruja posted below. Is there not a single one of those that you'd maybe be interested in seeing a post from, assuming you're not filtering by Hexbear comms only? Our Gardening/Earth comms aren't that active and I wouldn't mind seeing posts from Mander or The Garden, for example. And those are just some instances one person recommended that we could possibly federate with.
I'm sure we'll get shitheads but it is worth considering what we'll actually gain!

i go to hexbear hobby comms for leftist-centric discussion about hobbies. if I wanted to just get general hobby chat about a subject there's a million other sites with more active userbases than the entirety of lemmy. federating would remove the unique features of hexbear hobby comms and leave them flooded with general use, general space reddit-esque discussion. sure, they're empty and mostly unused, but when they are used they're providing something that every other site would not provide
for instance: federating c/ttrpg with the pathfinder lemmy would A: remove piracy discussion unless some rules ceasefire could be planned and B: riddle that comm with nothing but "does perk X make my ass look big on round 3 of combat when using a full-round action?" D&D brain posts
-
Redditors can be banned and the Pathfinder instance isn't responsible for material that is on a different instance
-
so the net benefit is a truckload of extra moderation work and a flood of posts from another gamer hobby site i could just click to if I wanted to see their reddit posts

We would also be able to recruit new comrades and bully reactionaries
-
if by "recruit new comrades" you mean getting two new users from a hobby site with 72 active users and by "bully reactionaries" you mean subjecting the user base to about 5x the queerphobic attacks they normally get
-
Your using identity unconstructively as a rhetorical cudgel. We can bully reactionaries on blahaj zone and we'll get plenty of attacks, but they probably won't be queerphobic beyond endless remarks about exactly who is fellating Putin.
-
you're right, the small minority of queer specific lemmy instances probably won't launch queerphobic attacks

It's about bringing people into the fold. This is a great site and I want to share it. If it weren't for pearl clutching about /r/chapotraphouse I never would have found this space. I want to see pearl clutching about hexbear.net
