IIRC other instances have made the same choice with these two instances. Mods and admins are small teams of volunteers, if one instance’s users are creating a disproportionate amount of work for mods/admins I don’t blame them for defeterating.
Do you have any sources/evidence of that? I went over there a bit after the first wave of defederation hullabaloo and generally found the tankie ratio to be roughly the same as anywhere else (extant but uncommon)… I didn’t see any rampant pro-CCP propaganda, either, as I’ve seen repeatedly claimed.
I have to wonder what the true story is, because the tankie/authoritarian narrative being circulated doesn’t actually seem to be true.

It’s weird that lemmy.world blocks hexbear but not lemmygrad, while sh.itjust.works blocks lemmygrad but not hexbear…
Best to just block both, they’re authoritarian propaganda factories for the CCP and Kremlin.
