funnily enough i’ve only interacted with hexbear one other time and that was then they federated with the entirety of Lemmy as a way to troll. Unfortunately for them they didn’t consider that meant anyone could venture into hexbear. hexbear ended up defederating from all of lemmy within 24 hours. it was a humiliating defeat for them
This is blatant revisionism.
Hexbear attempted to federate with the rest of Lemmy but some of the largest instances such as lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone defederated from us first. Lemmy.world in particular famously pre-emptively defederated us before ever being federated, as documented in this thread (where they also state that defederation should always be considered as a last resort, you know, pre-emptively defederating Hexbear as a last resort). We were federated with lemmy.blahaj.zone for longer but once they took in a huge number of refugees from reddit /r/196 their largest comm became a lifeboat comm for that subreddit, and they were very unhappy with us; this eventually devolved into a conflict where Ada, their lead admin, decided to defederate Hexbear as a way to appease the moderator of 196. Hexbear generally has a conciliatory attitude towards blahaj to this day and many of our trans users would like to refederate eventually, but this hasn't happened yet.
Generally, Hexbear likes being federated with more instances because it allows us to spread propaganda more. That's the incentive in place and we like doing it. Other instances are the ones who generally don't like receiving tons of people like myself who are very argumentative and post giant walls of text.
Hexbear remains federated with other big instances like SDF, reddthat, .ml (which you might call part of the tankie troika), and lemm.ee before it went down. We get wanderers from there all the time and we play nice with them.
Well, you're posting about a thread that went down on Hexbear where goat was engaging with us. I'm curious to know what facts and logic were actually provided that the "tankies" rejected.
Goat's just lying here though, they got banned because of what happened in this thread:
That's not why you were banned. You were banned for Zionism because you were providing a non-defense for your stance that the correct thing for Palestinians to do is not resist genocide.

That's the thread where goat got banned.
Which facts and logic were provided?
Note that to actually land on the "auth left" quadrant in the political compass test you basically have to say you have extremely bigoted views. You have to say you want the government to enforce strict immigration laws, have no rights for women, etc etc but all of that combined with left wing economic views.
That's because the political compass test confuses where one stands with regards to the validity of the authority of the state (as in, anarchists believe the state ought not to exist at all, while Marxists generally believe it ought to exist but only while the revolution is taking place and socialism is being built to eventually replace capitalism with communism) with social views in general. It's perfectly possible to be an anarchist with regressive social views or a Marxist with progressive ones, but the political compass test doesn't really differentiate that at all and it would put the former in the auth left quadrant, and the latter in lib left.
I think this video by revolutionaryth0t did a good job of explaining why almost everyone on the left lands on the "lib-left" quadrant regardless of their actual theoretical stances.
Is it better to spend a similar amount of time criticizing "tankies" when "tankies" have never held political office in the US federal government, yet liberals, as in the Democratic Party, are the opposition party in the US and are the most common ideology in the Western world?
If the same amount of time was spent criticizing fascists on the slop community, most of the content would have to be censored because fascists are just too violent and say too many things that aren't even funny to laugh at, they're genuinely disturbing.
You said both Renee Nicole Good and Tank Man were murdered.
When did they say that?
