Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Here's a few quick examples of poor conduct by hexbear users:

Spamming bullshit links to the pig poop picture: https://lemmy.ca/u/AccountVerificationBot@hexbear.net
General trolling: https://lemmy.ca/comment/2146513
Posting the pig poop emoji repeatedly and not adding value to discussions: https://lemmy.ca/u/duderium@hexbear.net https://lemmy.ca/u/Sasuke@hexbear.net
Calling for exections of landlords: https://lemmy.ca/comment/2154580

They warned their users to behave themselves, but that didn't work: https://hexbear.net/post/280770?scrollToComments=false

Please read and respect the rules of the community instance in which you are posting/commenting. Please try to keep the dirtbag lib-dunking to hexbear itself. Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances.

views that we disagree with

a few bad actors

Please stop with all those disingenous takes. OP makes it quite clear that it was not based on differences in viewpoint but toxic and trolling behaviour. And it is not "a few bad actors" from that instance behaving in such a way, it is everyone, since that is their publicly stated main purpose for existing.

Their community policy is explicitly against the actions described in this post.

hexbear when the consequences of their actions

Blatant indifference to their own community policies is an excellent reason to defederate.

And everyone on lemmy.ca follows community guidelines? Let's be realistic. It's a few bad actors (that we've already isolated!), just ban them.
