I think it would be an uphill battle, since they were very loud about it and the accusations they were making against hexbear to justify it. Nonetheless, I think people from other instances telling them to reverse the decision would be good.

Hexbear and Beehaw had defederated from it
Not sure if you’re just phrasing it that way for the sake of brevity but, while Beehaw did defederate from World, it was World that defederated from Hexbear (Beehaw also defederated from Hexbear). Hexbear right now is slowly branching out since it was isolated for compatibility reasons before, but theoretically I think it would have already federated with World if World hadn’t blocked it. Not sure about Beehaw.
doxxing people
Literally where? I’ve seen people talking about the dweebs running lemmy dot world doxxing some random user that they thought was @ Carcosa on hexbear, but I have not seen even a single allusion to hexbear doxxing anyone until now, including from the sea of people who hate it.
There are people on Hexbear who would positively love to talk with someone curious to learn if you post a thread on c/askchapo and try to be unassuming about things.
It was originally made to be for fans of the podcast “Chapo Trap House” but it doesn’t parrot what they say and in fact has strong points of disagreement with them, and has since it was a popular subreddit (I still listen to it). It was an early joke that the official podcast of the sub was Citations Needed, because that’s a much better podcast that we were much more aligned with in most respects. By this point on Hexbear, I’d say it’s probably most in line with The Deprogram.
In terms of actual content, it’s mostly talking about news and history and making memes based on those
The internet isn’t real life. Even if you get owned in a video (a very rare occurrence, especially if you are polite and reserved), it’s unlikely to put you out of your livelihood. You might, might, have a rough patch, but tomorrow social media will move on to a new controversy and you can work on improving things rather than just weathering the storm.
People say “cancel culture runs the world” but those are people who live on the internet or Fox News and get that feeling from a) being told so by media figures who benefit from such a message as part of their ideological brand and b) being continuously shown fringe cases with extremely high-profile characters, often with those media figures telling you that “you could be next” even though you don’t have a 10-figure contract with Nike to lose in the first place.
HR exists so a company can insulate itself from legal threats from its employees. If you work for a company, study that company’s policy and follow it. If they fire you or otherwise fuck you over, you can retaliate so long as you actually did follow company policy and they are punishing you for something outside of those bounds.
The number of real people who do nothing wrong but lose their job or get ostracized from their community is vanishingly small.
idk, there are anti-BDS laws in some places that cause some people real problems.
I don’t share your optimism but I appreciate it!
What do you think of the neoliberal hell that lemmy.ml is right now?
No worries
