    Isn’t lemm.ee still federated with hexbear? I used to have an account over there and fled to .world when the admin refused to stop apologizing for their God awful behavior.

      We are but I just use a Lemmy viewer that can block entire instances, problem solved.

      Yes, they are. In fact I made a multiple-page-long post (on my old lemm.ee account) to the lemm.ee meta community asking to defederate from hexbear.net. Fortunately now you can just block an instance.

      Edit: to be clear, I am not criticizing lemm.ee admins. They have their own reasons to not block hexbear.net, and I respect their decision.

        Isn’t the point of Lemm.ee to be very light on the block list, so users can create their own experience? Other than CSAM, I think the point was that users would be able to do what they want.

          Yes, that is what they’re aiming for.

      Yes lemm.ee is still federated with hexbear, which is frankly fine by me (at least ever since blocking instances was introduced).
