I’m aware of some stuff like that some instances have defederated from others for anti-communism (lemmy.world / hexbear.net), but that’s where my knowledge ends.
I’m looking to understand what instances to be aware of, each instances’ political leaning, defederation etc.
I’ll be honest, I’ve moved off of hexbear.net after the domain expired. All the struggle sessions (especially over China) were incredibly taxing.
It generally isn’t common enough for me to not use it, I tend to prefer it for the shitposts and gaming discussion more than anything. I spend most of my time arguing on Lemmy.ml anyways, so any struggle around the PRC on Hexbear pales in comparison.
I moved off it after the “rogue admin wrecker” incident
What does that mean?
Hexbear.net as a domain expired without paying to renew it, though this was resolved and Hexbear is back online.
So basically the Lemmy instance was inaccessible because or it, even if it was still running?
And I’m assuming that the users were also unable to log into Lemmy as a whole using their account, but for other fedefated instances you could still access posts from hexbear?
Hexbear fell back to chapo.chat for a period. Others could view old Hexbear posts, but federation broke until it was resolved. The domain is fixed and Hexbear is federated again.
