Formerly chapo.chat and r/chapotraphouse, they are a tankie instance that frequently brigades threads that mention them, and engage in harassment campaign against anyone who disagrees with them. They also frequently praise and defend Russia and China, two genocidal dictatorships in which one is engaging in an illegal war against ukraine and china has rampant human rights abuses. Since there are good faith users on that instance, they are more of a hesitation than a censure.

    Summary of !fediblock@lemmy.dbzer0.com, which is where we are right now:

    Bring up any fediverse instances other fediverse admins should block and your reasons why.

    And credit where it is due, they didn’t actually tell folks to defederate us, there is stronger criticism for other instances in their work thus far.

    Posting hexbear.net to !fediblock@lemmy.dbzer0.com is already a call to block. This isn’t a place to post a review of Fediverse instances, it’s a place to request that specific Fediverse instances be blocked.

      There is a contradiction then. They are recommending outright censure in other posts and clarifying a more mild stance on some, like ours. Maybe they can clarify.
