Argument about why an instance doesn’t want to federate with another instance that’s devoted to political trolling. Apparently that kind of behavior is simply a core tenet of the belief system, and to criticize it is to reject the whole ideology.

    You never conceded, you insulted me the entire way through, and played coy. Your response, which you linked:

    Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

    Was not an answer. I asked why Lemmy.world admins highlighted specifically that the Hexbear news mega stated that it was in the left’s interest to demolish NATO and the IMF. You responed by asking why Hexbear included it at all, which is found simply by reading the Hexbear thread. Hex included it for anyone unfamiliar with Hexbear to learn more about Hexbear’s stances. Lemmy.world saw it, saw Hexbear’s stances, and decided to defederate before federating.

    Additionally, a single user saying I have a “reputation” after you displayed such bad-faith argumentation means very little.

      Not mutually exclusive. Stop whining about insults, you’ve insulted me this whole time as well. No one cares.

      Was not an answer.

      Yes it was. The answer is that Lemmy World wanted nothing to do with an instance obsessed with political rhetoric, that has identified them as housing enemy ideologies.

      You can sub in any political ideology and that answer holds true.

      Additionally, a single user saying I have a “reputation” after you displayed such bad-faith argumentation means very little.

      Good thing there’s a whole community of users here. Man, you love fishing for little gotchas :)

        Lemmy.world is fine with political trolls and drama farming, though. Hexbear was deemed off-limits before it even federated. They highlighted what they took issue with.

        This isn’t going to go anywhere, I’m disengaging.

          In your mind, sure.

          After telling a bold-faced lie about me. Cool hypocrisy, bro.

            Meanwhile the several trolls who were made mods of popular communities, and several trolls who actively spammed the same repeated talking points and thought terminating cliches for months before suddenly going away in December of 2024:
