They have a history of brigading threads critical of them or tankies, then say its not brigading, as they are just federating.
Hexbear is defederated on most servers, not mine (I’m usually fine with this) but .ml is left alone since it has a lot of the official lemmy communities.
As I recall they have a comm called ‘slop’ that’s basically a drop point for it. As one post I recall mentioned ‘put (random tankie anti-west slurs) posts in ‘"slop’" and whatever happens, happens’
I haven’t bothered to defed them or the other two myself either, in some part because it’s funny to scrap with them, plus it’s a pretty pointless exercise if they just create alts on other servers.
EDIT: It could be that this list is incomplete or something went wonky when they went through their domain drama. Looking around some of the larger servers hexbear.net is on the blocked list, but that isn’t being reflected on the tool linked above. Some servers are defederated from either side but certainly not most.
By many less liberal lefties, porn is seen as inherently exploitative. The roots of the industry to this day are in some circumstances watered with human trafficking and barrels of cum misogyny, so it’s not a totally unreasonable position, it just is one more issue that is construed as black or white when in reality, the subject is far more nuanced.
Edit: Also many instances have no age verification and might be by local law obligated to block NSFW-content for their users.
hexbear is .ml but worse,

Thats where this post is from would you believe.
Hey, look at that, devils I’m the details and all I guess.
Don’t forget the “Dunk Tank” where brigades are organized.
They’re defederated from a couple of the larger servers and a few of the smaller ones.

Why is hexbear scared of porn?

Working is inherently exploitative but sex work is just another job.
If the sex worker is doing it voluntarily. That is sadly a very, very big if.
