Here’s the original defederation thread on Hexbear.

Generally, Blahaj and Hexbear disagree on what constitutes a chaser and thus Hexbear felt that Blahaj was not defending against chasers as well as they should, Blahaj moderators and admins were hostile towards Hexbear users, moderators, and admins, and general friction between the two instances. Additionally, some Blahaj moderators were ableist, using derogetory terminology such as “braindead” to refer to Hexbear users in removing their comments, as well as removing Hexbear users calling out ableism.
