Ok sure, but my point is that's NOT what was happening in that thread. Hexbear wasn't just like "oh hey now we're not all bad" or "I don't know what behavior you're complaining about". They attacked Ada, Blahaj as a whole, and were just generally aggressive and unpleasant
I would not describe the comments on that post as defensive. Ada initially said we wouldn't defed as there hadn't been any issues, so there wasnt really anything they needed to defend themselves from.
Everything they commented was aggressive and filled with vitriol. Even the comments regarding our instance over on hexbear are just rude.
Did you miss their comments on the first post about defederation from hexbear? 95% of the comments were from them and were super aggressive and brigade-y
The users of hexbear just are very bitter that we didn't adore their aggressive comments on the last post. I really just have a hard time seeing anything good coming of remaining federated.
They just call everyone who doesn't like their behavior a whiny liberal.
Lol ok. Y'all need to realize that when you post from an account on another instance, it looks like some rando from another instance telling blahaj what to do
I hadn't noticed an issue with hexbear until the recent post. They definitely gave me a bad impression of their whole instance with their behavior.
I definitely think defederation is in order. Unless I'm mistaken, the most their admins have done to stop the brigading has been a comment on the post saying to stop interacting. No post on hexbear, nothing.
They seem like a bunch of shitty trolls. Acceptance of trans people aside, there's not really a reason to continue to federate with an instance like that.
EDIT: they just added to their code of conduct disallowing the kind of behavior we saw yesterday. Still unsure if remaining federated is a good idea
