No real surprises, but the list pales compared to Lemmygrad’s still, they have 3x as many defeds.
A lot of that is because they use a block list while we use an allow list, so a lot of instances haven’t defederated with us bc we haven’t federated with them in the first place.
the blahaj defed thread being unanimously in support of the admin decision must have been funny to observe from a lib perspective. like why aren’t these commies arguing with their leaders, how can they possibly all agree??
The posters of Hexbear live in constant fear of the iron fist of the authoritarian mods. Anyone who dares speak up against their brutal tyranny is server to the gulag along with their entire family for seven generations.
Generally, any instance under 200 users gets added if nominated. After an investigation shows that they have an active community and aren’t a hot-bed of reactionary takes.
sh.itjust.works is larger and after nominated we put it up for a hexbear community vote as they have two reactionary communities, meanwhileongrad and noncredibledefense. At the conlcusion of that vote it was in favor of not federating at this time. At some point in the future we will probably ask again.
we use an allow-list and the only communities we have blocked are exploding-heads and burggit.
Any instance that was on our allow-list that blocked us was removed.
In this post the decision to federate with blahaj was discussed: https://hexbear.net/post/352119 and while a formal vote was not called on it was clear that majority were not happy with the situation.

Do you know how you decide which instances are federated with?
Users can nominate them. If it’s controversial, it goes up for discussion
Oh cool, thanks for your input comrade
I think thats still a bit undecided. Thought we trust our admins judgement and they do at least ask us first.
“Admins you can trust”, a concept of something like “politicians you can trust”. A concept completely and utterly inconcievable for a westerner.
I love we have admins who we can trust.

Obviously they’re all brainwashed bots

I’m new from blahaj lemmy, wanted to ask is there usually any community discussion/voting prior to defederation?

In addition there was an earlier post https://hexbear.net/post/277508 where federating at all was voted upon.
There is a post to nominate an instance for removal here: https://hexbear.net/post/277518
as well as one to nominate one to add: https://hexbear.net/post/277506
