Until you realize some of these long time users are likely sockpuppet accounts of said devs.
But I find it rather funny and in the end their political believes while themselves sitting right in the “imperial core” are harmless. Armchair tankies.

Looks like they are playing Frets On Fire 🤣
Really a missed opportunity to not run and promote a Minetest server (with Mineclone2 or similar).
Much better ToDo list system with calendar integration and notifications via mobile apps.
Wait until you learn about Org-mode.

But the new Conversations 3.0 UI overhaul should be released soon.

Mutual Respect Pacts — Could instances not federate by agreeing to moderate their own users that breach the other instance’s CoCs/rules? For example. Lemmy.world finds a hexbear user to have breached lemmy.world rules. Temporarily bans them from the community and reports it to hexbear. Hexbear are expected to act against this user (either with a warning, temporary ban etc). And of course vice versa. Obviously, should the situation become unworkable, more drastic action can take place, but it seems like a reasonable approach to trying to retain federation between groups that might not see eye to eye but want to work out a way to remain civil with each other.
This is exactly why they are being de-federated. The Hexbear admins have openly stated that they don’t consider their users behaviour on other instances their problem, except that they would find defederation slightly inconvenient and against their openly stated goal to use federation to brigade other instances. This is extremely bad faith behaviour and sadly consistent with the conduct of the CTH/Hexbear community over the years. Don’t let them gaslight you into believing they are the good guys.
There are surely some decent people on Hexbear, the problem is that there are a lot that are not, and many have explicitly stated that they want to disrupt other instances. And the final nail in the coffin is IMHO that the admins on Hexbear have explicitly stated that they will not moderate their users for things they do on other instances (making the “be a good neighbor” part in their original announcement a fig leaf at best).
The entire point of decentralized moderation in the fediverse is that instances are responsible for their member’s conduct on other instances. Any instance that explicitly violates this (as Hexbear admins openly say) needs to be defederated as they actively harm the network.
Would un-linking them be sufficient?
They need to give you some time to answer emails from management 🙄
