Thoughts on defederarion from Hexbear? (kbin.social)

As many other threads have popped up about this over the last few days, I thought I'd raise a thread on kbin about this too.

From what I've seen, they seem like mainly inflammatory trolls who steadfastly support either Russia or the CCP while adding little of value to actual discussions elsewhere on the site.
Was a vote to federate with them in the first place even had?
What's everyone's thoughts?

I’ve seen Hexbear and lemmygrad brigading communities before. They (lemmygrad) will also serial downvote anything they don’t like.

Personally, I would vote to defederate from both Hexbear and lemmygrad. Kbin is nice because it feels like the majority of people are posting, commenting, and overall discussing in good faith. It’s a nice culture. Neither of those two instances fit with it.

Edit: Clarified that lemmygrad serial downvotes.
