Hi all, it's whitepwrfan69, your lovely admin here at lemmy.balls. The mod team and I have been hard at work making sure that this place is fun and pleasant experience for all the users here. After days of discussion, looking through literal petabytes of data, we've decided the best course of action is to defederate from Hexbear. Although we very much believe in free speech, there are some pretty obvious dangers coming from federation with them. Let me list the top examples that me and the mod team fleshed out.

I try to generally give my interlocutors the benefit of the doubt, but those hexbear people are indeed quite nasty. Some of them even defended the French revolution. A substantial number of those noblemen they hate so much actually contributed a lot to society, and much elite French culture from that time is still considered world class. Those hexbears seem willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater, just because in some rare cases inbreeding can lead to some unfortunate side effects. And let’s not get started on so called “colonialism” – the savages of the world learned so much and were lifted to new heights because of generous investments from European philanthropists.
