Does the instance a user is on (visible after their username) affect how they are perceived, either positively or negatively, by you or others?

Hexbear still is a thing, not sure what you’re referring to.
They’re defederated on .world and probably some other lib instances. I moved to ml because I didn’t like the vibe on world, especially their rabid obsession with “tankies”
Yea but that was always the case.
Hexbear.net doesn’t seem to be registered anymore
It redirects to chapo.chat for me but still has banners and posts that call it hexbear
That will break federation
They lost their domain and federation went with it for now, until they get a new domain
I left once they started curating & collating lists of known prolific tankies so that they could share them amongst each other to tag each one every time they encountered them on Lemmy.

It redirects to chapo.chat, there are some domain shenanigans going on but the people are still there and actively posting.
That’s new, it wasn’t doing that before. That’s going to cause a failure to federate
For now. There were domain issues and that’s being worked on, chapo.chat is a workaround.
Sure but there’s no federation unless you use the original domain
