Looks like we upset a few too many 
residents over at lemmy.ca. I didn't see a post about this on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and make one.
2 of 4 reasons why are basically just PPB lol, and a third is for calling for executions of landlords

MODERATORS
they literally have 0 concept of the procession of history, and how the founding of your country less than 200 fucking years ago very much does matter to the present day???
"Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth."

garbage cheap chinese breadboard for $1 I use as solder fixture
my good breadboard is $10 it is much better.
Who the fuck is talking about breadboard quality. The whole point is that it's cheap and temporary. Also the "good breadboard" is 100% also Chinese. Plus he sucks at soldering, he uses too much solder so all the joints are balling up. It's supposed to be concave and shiny.

Having grown up native in Canada, I assure you that this is the view held by the majority.
There are so many treaty conflicts going on in Canada right now. O KKKlanada!
Whenever someone replies to [hexbear posters] with well-thought-out arguments supporting “the western authoritarians,” half of them replies with huge and ugly emojis, while the other half parrots more Chinese propaganda (that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime).
good to know that all it takes to learn something about china is to ignore thought terminating cliches like 'china regime bad'
that actually sound well-written if you disregard the fact that China is an oppressive regime
Translation; "I don't know how to counter these arguments, so I'll just assume its propaganda and move on"
50% of posts are well-written arguments? Not a bad ratio, frankly. Good posts, guys.
Like all leftists we're pathetically vulnerable to engaging in lively debate about economics.
Me: Mom I want expertise on China.
Mom: We've already got a China expert at home.
The China expert at home:
This really needs to be a site tagline.

TLDR: if you want to know if an instance will defed hexbear, check its instance block list for lemmygrad.
been making stray comments here and there about this, I'm telling y'all if an instance defeds lemmygrad it is 1000% going to defed hexbear, we're calmer and more solitary than y'all, so all the accusations of trolling or brigading or just generally being "ebil tankies" against the grad can and will be used against hexbear too. I fully expect .world to defed lemmygrad in the next couple months too once they're finally got their shit under control. Is what it is, hopefully normal users still manage to find us and switch to instances that aren't ran by anticommunists.
I do see that lemmygrad is more aligned to some ML types, while hexbear is a bit wider, which does make for a difference. But it doesn't seem the strain of communism is the main problem for the de-federating people.
However we have a more diverse set of opinions in our user base, since we don't ban people that quick (i.e. in terms of war in Russia we have some revolutionary defeatists, some anti imperialists who favour a weakening of the imperialist NATO (which really irks other instance admins, etc.).
To moderate a sub sub sub comment of a main thread is a bit funny though.

Is worth a read, it is by a user slandering Hexbear, turns out:
@init@lemmy.ml
Haven’t we learned our lesson about unprovoked wars after watching East Europe for the past year and a half??
@emizeko - not sure if you’re a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists’ work for them–but I’m sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I’m currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.

Oh I’m familiar with it. My entire family operates this way. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. I joined the military due to my parents fears about Russia and China invading or some shit. Now I’m the liberal because I’ve actually educated myself, and here they are defending the very things they were terrified of 25 years ago just to own the libs.
Followed by:
My mother was all into the satanic panic BS and Linin’s words about winning the next war via education and indoctrination of youth in our schools. Dad turned out, interestingly enough, to be closeted gay when they divorced because he was also an abusive sack of shit father.
Good that there was a divorce, but the setting of the phrases so close together is bad for online discourse.
The ironic part is that he is so indoctrinated from his small hometown upbringing that he still votes Republican-only and hides the fact his business partner and co-owner of his father’s ranch he inherited is also his boyfriend, or at this point, common law husband. He still hides it because the small community he lives in would probably not be very welcoming. The funny thing is that, at least before it was revealed he was hiding a boyfriend, he was hugely homophobic.
It took me literal years to deprogram, in no small part from reddit, traveling through the military, and seeing the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. It’s sad that so many will never question the values they grew up with and will turn into the next generation ignoramus.
a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted.
Cool I wonder if they paid attention when those OSINT guys proved that Ukraine committed the Bucha massacre
