They're defederated on .world and probably some other lib instances. I moved to ml because I didn't like the vibe on world, especially their rabid obsession with "tankies"

I left once they started curating & collating lists of known prolific tankies so that they could share them amongst each other to tag each one every time they encountered them on Lemmy.

Hexbear.net doesn't seem to be registered anymore

It redirects to chapo.chat for me but still has banners and posts that call it hexbear

They lost their domain and federation went with it for now, until they get a new domain

That will break federation

Yea but that was always the case. I am asking why they spoke of Hexbear as though it no longer exists.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

Apparently as another poster pointed out hexbear.net isn't there, or rather it redirects to chapo.chat when I checked it just now. No idea why they'd think that means it's dead though. I was just pointing out the defederation as a possible source of their confusion.
