Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

Mostly they were left unblocked until their users started to invade other instances to spread their blatant propaganda.

isn't the entire point of a federated platform that you're going to be able to access other instances?

istg people hit the block button like they're mashing the independent thought alarm

Yes, but the point isn't to connect to every instance.

Curated instances and smaller networks within the fediverse were always thought of.

Yeah, but it's weird to be complaining about people using /all and finding content, calling it "invading"

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It does appear that way, and there are some cases of it happening, but doesn't servers blocking hexbear solve the problem of people complaining about it, for people on hexbear?

I mean this was a .ee user complaining about seeing people they're federated with, I'm sure they will be more happy in one of the more liberal echo chamber instances

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

I typically recommend those users other instances which don't federate with hexbear.
