The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

I do not support defederating. I want diverse viewpoints. I suppor5 inclusivity. I don't mind offensive posts. I can block them myself if I don't want to see them. Please don't speak for me.

My dude, what lemm.ee defederates from is different than lemmy.nz. Every instance can make their own block list after all

Yes and no. We are here on lemmy.nz, a locally focused instance. Many users want to participate in NZ related content, and may be from NZ, even if their accounts are not on lemmy.nz. If hexbear is defederated, then they won't be able to participate in any of the NZ communities, and this impacts all users wanting to participate here.

With that said, this (original) post has less than 1/4 of the up/down votes from users subscribed to this community, and an even smaller fraction are lemmy.nz users, so for sure there are a lot of people participating in this thread that are not invested in the outcome.

In the end the decision is up to lemmy.nz, a random user from lemm.ee should in my opinion not have a vote in such a discussion.

The same goes for me, feddit.de has already defederated from hexbear, so I can't even see any of their comments on this thread.

A big problem with Hexbear is that downvoting is disabled on their side, resulting in a lot more comments due to users being unable to disagree with something through the voting system. Should downvotes become enabled, Hexbear would become a lot more bearable to outside instances.
