FWIW I did not have a good experience with hexbear communities. I had originally subscribed to a few that weren’t particularly political. But apparently they’re all political.
However, my response was to unsubscribe from all hexbear communities.
I could block the instance with the app I’m using, but I haven’t gone that far yet. I didn’t think it was necessary.
So… While I’m personally vehemently opposed to much of the politics hexbear represents, I also don’t think we need to defederate. At least not at this point.
I thought videos wouldn’t be all that political. But it’s a lot political, even if the video itself isn’t political. And there were a few others I looked into. But… I’m just going to nope out of all of them.
