    the one-way federation isn’t a block, it’s encouragement for users of piefed to go and harass hexbear out of revenge. this is nothing more than @rimu@piefed.social weaponizing the platform, and honestly I wish we had known this was going to happen. I wouldn’t of tried so hard to convince people to create the instance I’m on with piefed.

    maybe a fork is possible. blocking hexbear is one thing, but it should be our choice, not the choice of an admin from another instance. someone else getting to dictate who you speak with is no different than facebook or twitter. it’s gross and out of line.

      I can’t see any content from Hexbear looking from Piefed.social. So how would I go about harassing hexbear users?

      You dont seem to understand how defederation works. Those users you’re worried about harassinf Hexbear are the ones who can’t even see Hexbear posts or users to harass them in the first place.

      This is exactly how defederation works on Lemmy itself, until the other instance also defederates to complete the circuit

      this is nothing more than @rimu@piefed.social weaponizing the platform,

      You mean like Lemmy devs weaponize Lemmy? Don’t you find it the slightest bit odd that all the features that could be used against them - blocking, robust voting systems, robust modlog, good mod tools - are conveniently implemented poorly, not implemented at all or outright “downgraded”?

      but it should be our choice, not the choice of an admin from another instance.

      How does an admin of another instance make that choice for you? If instance A starts going crazy on the blocklist, then Instance B can choose to no longer subscribe to As blocklist

      And to me that’s fucking hilarious. Those slimy little trolls will finally get a taste of their own medicine.

      Fuck Hexbear, and fuck tankies. They’ve tortured and harassed me for pointing out their hypocrisy. I wish them the absolute worst.

      How do they harass users or communities they can’t see?

      I have this weird feeling that piefed and world are corporate try to go back to centralised social media. Just paranoid.
