Sorry (🍁) we did this without making a post, but after receiving several complaints we defederated from hexbear.net yesterday.

Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated.

        Mostly due to them having an extremely zero-tolerance stance on transphobia, which I learned is extremely hard to find a place on the internet that does that, even among spaces designed for them. A lot of places will just let casual transphobia slide because “it’s not that bad” or just because they don’t personally see it. (It happens so often I actually made a word for it: not-seeism)
