Meh… I don’t think defederation is necessary. Personally, my biggest issue with Hexbear is, as with most other socialist-oriented online spaces, is that it’s hard to find discussion that isn’t focused on it, and especially international socialism since my main focus is my community (hence why I chose this instance). It’s not really my thing, I hate terms like “shitlib” and “tankie” and my big interests are outside of my worldview- that’s not to say I don’t care about it, far from it, but it’s not something I talk/think about all the time.
That being said, it can be refreshing once in a while to have an explicitly anti-capitalist instance whose discussions don’t puppet ones pushed by massive, capitalist news organizations. Not only is it another perspective but there’s sometimes totally new stuff that I end up learning.
Idk. I think the biggest reason we shouldn’t defederate as opposed to, say, lemmygrad, is because Hexbear explicitly supports left unity as far as I can tell, so I think it’s fine to keep federating.
Yeah, for example I really like the cars community. I was raised in a family who liked em a lot, and I always did too so I felt a little weird being a car guy in a community who doesn’t like cars much (and fair, car dependency is hell) but the one there is cool about cars and also likes alternative transportation too. Cool stuff

It might have the same issues as far as misogyny and stuff goes, but a union should be able to remedy the issues with rushing content. Unions usually are just made up of the workers but the bigger ones have independent management that can step in to manage other issues too.
