The original french post that motivated hexbear’s decision : https://jlai.lu/post/11504685
There is already various posts here giving us reasons to defederate them, one of them calling to violence against french :
On jlai.lu :
Dessalines, one of Lemmy main developper is taking part :
Some of hexbear supporter denying being part of an attack without any apologies :
Should we support Lemmy or migrate to another software as Mbin, piefed, sublinks ? Time will tell.
Mbin

- One instance running Mbin : https://kbin.earth/
Piefed
- Piefed’s roadmap : https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/projects/7800
- Flagship’s instance : https://piefed.social/
- Piefed news : !piefed_meta@piefed.social
Sublinks
- Sublinks’s roadmap : https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1/views/6
- Flagship’s instance : https://demo.sublinks.org/
- Sublinks news : !sublinks@discuss.online
If they keep their attitude they’ll be kicked off most instances, generally they won’t be able to circlejerk so after a while I’d expect them to self-isolate again.
You’re probably right. Case in point: Linkerbaan was eventually banned, although it did take a long time.
The opinions on this were interesting. My simplified take: One person thinks it’s even worse than I thought. One person thinks it’s not going to be a problem in the first place. And 3 persons think that it’s a problem that will resolve itself, so no reason to worry.
