Does anyone else find it really, really funny that the only nationality instance to defed from us so far is Canada? I mean, I get why, but I honestly expected the UK one to leave us first.
I’m not really surprised, sadly. A lot of their userbase is from /r/onguardforthee, which is small-L and capital-L liberal central. Their only real beef with Reddit is that the Reddit admins are making Reddit increasingly uncivil. They have no ideological problem with mainstream Reddit thought, especially when it comes to their kneejerk defence of capitalism.
That and the large amounts of err, “Ukrainian Patriots” having an influence in Canada. When your deputy prime minister is the granddaughter of a Nazi propagandist it tends to influence things. And her uncle also was a big proponent of the double genocide republishing said nazi propaganda as ‘research’.
Surprised they lasted as long as they did before defederating given that.

For anyone who might be wondering, it definitely doesn’t end with her grandfather. She has denied that her grandfather was a Nazi and said claims that he was are Russian disinformation (lol). This isn’t even a her being stubborn and refusing to see the facts thing, because it has been proven that she has known this to be true going back at the very least back to the 90s.
It seems like all Canadian online forums/subreddits/whatever are like 90% people who are landlords and/or landlord sympathizers.
It’s really fucking weird when you consider what percentage of the actual population are landlords (especially among the main internet using demographics)
You missed the German instance near the top which defederated at the same time as Beehaw so like 3-4 weeks (or 6 not exactly sure) before we federated.
Beehaw and the German instance where the first two to block hexbear pre-emptively.
"Also, FWIW I think Hexbear is an integral pillar of Lemmy and defederating from them would be a mistake, especially seeing as lemmy.world has already done so. I believe that it’s critical for other large instances to maintain federation with Hexbear and work through these disagreements.
Any large instance is guaranteed to have trolls, fools, and malicious actors. As long as the admins of the instances can come to an understanding and work together, conflicts between individual users can be dealt with. Defederation is a last resort for extreme cases and it’s rather worrying how frequently it has been discussed all across Lemmy in the past two months."
Wrong link, but surprisingly useful, I’ll have to pass it on.
Amazing comment, especially about defederation being the last resort.
Edit: jerboa and infinity are just being broken. I got some DIY HRT thread, saved it, but jerboa decided to not actually save it. Opened up the link in a browser and it’s showing the correct thread.
Lmao its good to see the worst instances leave.

I knew about her grandfather (whose wikipedia page is incredibly whitewashed) but I didn’t know about her uncle. Not a surprise of course.

The Canadian instance is landlord cental apparently

Which is honestly really surprising to me, given the sorry state of housing in Canada.
