This looks like a Peertube instance. Peertube instances can federate with Hexbear (though viewing posts can be a bit finnicky, sometimes you have to force them to federate) and with other Peertube instances. So if someone wants to spin up a Peertube instance to connect with them, that's also a valid way to interact with their content.

Additionally, in more recent updates there is streaming support.

Just be aware that your IP will be visible to seeders and leechers of Peertube vids.

I haven't seen much of a problem from any of their users

Since I'm tankie-adjacent and had to do with the affair I'll just voice my opinion: I've seen many good people coming from that instance, both on hexbear and outside hexbear, some of them even comrades. Punishing them for the actions of their mod team seems a bit too much to me. The offenders have (rightfully) been banned from this instance, and on the rare occasion a wandering lib will post on here we can all PPB them, I'll join too.

Also, semi-related but I love how just by shitposting on a piracy community I caused an inter-instance diplomatic crisis and had 2 (PoS) admins banned, lol wasn't my intention but I'm glad they showed their true self, so to say.

Edit: also remaining federated while having the admins banned is such a power move lol, "hate da gubmyent not da paypoohl" but for real this time

the bit idea of staying federated but banning their admins is making me laugh and i support it.

I think defederation should be avoided unless the instance is really bad, like overtly racist nazis.

That's strange to see my instance up for attack. I joined dbzero because it seemed to fit my (IRL considered) extreme views. I consider hexbear to be morally in the right place, but too naive to see the next wave of cyber propaganda being aimed at leftists the equal/opposite way it took conservatives in 2015.

Ive considered blocking hexbear subs several times, but never ended up doing so because the general viewpoints are so interesting.

Its hard to differentiate the intellectuals from the propagandists and simply too inexperienced.

buckykat ,

This is the kind of weird almost getting it liberal I like to see once in a while

SadSadSatellite ,

That's a fairly good interpretation of how i view a lot of hexbear content. I stick to All mostly, and never really pay attention to which instance a post is coming from, but just by it's nature, it's pretty obvious when a post is from hexbear.
I would prefer if you folks didn't defederate because i find your community very intriguing. I have no idea what db0 has done to piss some people off as i don't really pay any attention to them individually, i'm just here for the piracy tips and the dislike of police and military. I don't think i'm an a straight anarchist, but i'm not quite for communism either. I want anarchy for individuals, socialism from the government, and communism from corpororations.

Is there a name for that? Everyone can do whatever they want so long as it doesn't harm anyone else, the government listens to the people and provides social welfare and infrastructure, and the corporations are harshly regulated to make sure they better the lives of the citizens and can't take advantage.

Whatever the hell FDR was trying to do, that's what i want.

See, this is the core of the problem with you guys, you absolutely cannot handle any criticism of your posters or your views in a good faith, constructive way. Your entire way of going about this is deflection and denial, you outright refuse to engage in a serious conversation and find out why we see you as a bunch of reactionaries and when we give you examples, such as the open homophobia, transphobia, misogyny and imperialism on display by dbzer0 users posting on hexbear, your reaction is always to defend these users. This isn't tolerable to us.

SadSadSatellite ,

There's no 'you guys' here. Dbzero is just how i got to lemmy, it's not a table i sit at, and i don't interact with anyone else on the instance as far as i can remember. I wanted something that wasn't .world to see news and get tech tips, and only really browse through All anyway. I'm not defending any users, because i don't know any.

Do not defederate ffs

No - why can't you just report any reactionary dbzero comment or user you see on Hexbear. We need at least one other decently active instance to be federated with otherwise I'm just gonna see the same 4 users posts daily. maddened

No I like dbzer0 they just have some annoying lib users. Its not where I go to have high quality discussions but the memes are fine and a lot of the people are pretty good, some even comrades. I was looking at a post dragging HB, and there was one user who was malding about us and everyone else was like, "nah they're good"

I think we should keep them around, just ban the problematic users.

space_comrade , in Defederation nomination: dbzero

Idk I'm fine with them if you're gonna defed because of a few bad lib/reactionary interactions you'd have to defed everybody except lemmygrad probably, which is also valid I guess but I personally disagree with that.

HexBroke , in Defederation nomination: dbzero

Nah
