    Their brand of humor isn’t particularly my flavor, but blocking things I disagree with isn’t something I care for, unless it’s something outright abominable.

    It seems the overall sentiment of hexbear isn’t malicious, and so I don’t think we should pass judgment on an entire instance just because of some outliers.

    There are people on other instances that even suggest lemm.ee users are tankies, communists, or nazis, so I don’t doubt that there’s a spread of vitriol anywhere you go. Doubly so because of the nature of federation; our blocking policy has likely led to more than a few alternate accounts being created here by users to bypass being defederated from their preferred trolling destinations.

    With that said, I agree with your sentiment about judging the moderation response, and am in favor of staying federated with them for now.

    I also want to add that I appreciate your very well-worded post, and that it demonstrates a great amount of thoughtfulness. Thank you for that.
