    How did Hexbear ever harass everyone here? Lemmy.world never even federated with them for a second.

      You’re misunderstanding what I mean. .world’s advent marked a paradigm shift where .ml was no longer the “default” lemmy instance. So long as hexbear was federated with the “default” lemmy instance, they were able to inflict their insanity on everyone else. Now .world provides a large part of lemmy insulation against them.

        Yeah, every now and then I hop over to an account on another instance, and immediately remember why I tend to hang out on .world…

        .world isn’t perfect, but holy hell some of the other instances are just buried in tankie BS.
