It’s more worth while to drum up support for defederation since that removes any instances who take it from being part of their userbase, and weakens the network effect they have here. Remember they’re still dominating the Linux and Privacy communities on Lemmy and the discussion based fediverse in general.

Aaand they’ve already moved to chapo.chat. Probably should let all the instance admins who defederated hexbear before know before they’re refederated unknowingly.

That’s going to be a nightmare honestly if they do. Since there are so many Servers now with a big stick in their ass about defederation and only Defederated Hexbear after a lot of persuasion. This will probably end up giving their instance a second chance on many instances which defederated them before.

@imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works @kersploosh@sh.itjust.works @InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works We may want to be on the lookout for their new domain whenever they migrate to it.

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat, we should probably block them before they try to refederate with us and spam our users.
