Hexbear themselves have defeded another left wing instance over petty debates about terminology and language.
I mean, if users from another instance are constantly attacking users from your instance, questioning their identity and calling them slurs, with the mods and admins maintaining a complicit and dismissive stance, wouldn’t you defed?
If anything HB has all the right to defed, especially with our “tolerant” communities attacking their users for what boils down to effectively a communication and culture difference IMO.
We’re giving them more of a benefit of the doubt at this point than they give their own allies, lol. The far left eating its own in a quest for ideological purity is a song that never ends it seems.
The defed had nothing to do with politics IMO, and the instances being any flavor of left wing doesn’t mean they share anything in common.
Both instances are staunchly LGBT friendly, and the similarities kinda end there.
