Do you have anything you can reference to back up these assertions that the instance is astro turfed? Honest question. You're making some pretty big accusations and I'm curious if there's any merit to them versus just writing it off as trolling and/or social media melodrama.

it's something that hexbear users do for some reason, everytime I see someone (always from .ml) talking badly about blahaj they turn out to be from hexbear, and they also sometimes mention hexbear as the "true queer instance"

The reason is that they basically think Ada's the devil for not making the c/196 mod remove the "(also fuck tankies)" line from the cover image. They defederated with us, ostensibly for that reason, tho I'm fairly sure that it's because they saw the writing on the wall (that blahaj was going to vote to defederate) and tried to save face.

Anyway there's a bit of lemmy history for you.

I was pretty sure it was just melodrama, but wanted to give them an opportunity to explain themselves versus continuing to sling crap like an enraged monkey. They didn't take it.
