I understand why anticommunist instances like Lemmy.world defederate from Hexbear, I just don't think it will help Lemmy.world in the long run, as Lemmy itself by nature is going to attract Communists due to its structure.

Honestly .world should have just blocked the most common shiposting Hexbear comms like chapotraphouse and dunk_tank as these are what most users found annoying. And I believe ther are more leftists on .world than one might think. There’s a great games comm on Hexbear too, and downvote away on the leftist game posts - Hexbear doesn’t have downvotes anyway!

The problem is that Lemmy.world doesn't want Communists using their communities, not that their users shouldn't be exposed to Communist posts, because they wanted homogenous liberalism.

There are some leftists on .world, but they usually leave in favor of leftist instances from what I have personally seen.

Absolutely agree about Hexbear's games comm, easily the best gaming comm on Lemmy.

Fair, that’s what I did.
