They're absolutely harmless, and I don't understand the recent hubbub. Their culture is a bit strange, but they mostly seem to just want to shitpost about politics in peace. They won't bother you unless you say "defederate hexbear" 3 times in a mirror, and then they swarm, I think just wanting hugs or something.
All I see from there is random word spam that all have a link to stupid images from there.
That's why I want it de-federated.
Just because they speak a different language, doesn't to me feel like a reason to defederate. They also seem to be fairly self-policing.
For instance they like to perform what they call "dunking" which I believe originates from a collective idolization of Michael Jordan.
However, they keep posting reminders to one another to not bring the "pig poop balls" to other instances, as to not offend outsiders. They use the acronym PPB, and I think it has something to do with a lack of fecal hygiene being a large spreader of disease.
