    Huh, I never looked at the instance statistics next to each other. Neat.

    I read that Hexbear federating post and… Idk, seems all fine except for the very explicit stance on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (especially regarding Donbas). Not exactly a popular stance.

    None the less, the only way to avoid echo chambers is to federate broadly; probably the main reason lemmygrad remains federated. Hexbear personally gives me a headache, but I’d like to see why the largest instance wants to avoid the exchange of ideas. (I bet it’s bot related).

      There’s a post on hexbear explicitly about creating bots to brigade other instances, money’s on that being a part of it

        No there isn’t, provide proof. I look at every single post and can’t recall a single one about making bots to brigade.
