Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn’t give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it’s about de-platforming fascists.
The link for the original doesn’t seem to work. I assume there’s some missing context here. Still funny that they’re calling hexbear pro-Russia and fascist. The comment isn’t even by a hexbear. It’s by one of ours.
As a long time hexbear user, you’re causing no issues. Our resident anarchist (as in one of the more active ones) just got us to defederate from blahaj because their 196 comm has a “Fuck Tankies” banner and they hopped in and dragged the mod there about it until the mod threw a temper tantrum and removed their comments.
What you said is pretty tame compared to usual posting there lol
See here for some good Hexbear left unity
