I'm convinced Hexbear exists only as an instance blocking tutorial for new lemmy users.

me watching the constant mill of fediverse drama between hexbear/piefed/world/dbzer0 from a tiny irrelevant instance
Same. I spun up a PieFed instance just for little ol' me, but this drama is way beyond me

It's always fascinating how the debate bros think they're entitled to someone debating them.
Ah, drama I'm not chronically online enough to understand.
Lemmy is a reddit-style forum framework on the fediverse. People clone a copy and launch their own instances which can communicate with each other, so that no one person can rule over it.
So theres these guys who want China to win a nuclear war and the enslavement of trans people into labor camps, Lemmy ML and Hexbear. They are the Lemmy Developers and all money for lemmy development goes to them.
Then theres this Rimu dude who started development of PieFed which is just another framework to do the same exact thing that Lemmy does and they communicate with each other flawlessly, which makes the Tankies super duper angry because they wanted you to fund their autocratic ideology and help them spread propaganda.
The reason so many people are so involved in this is that you're either on a Lemmy based instance or a PieFed based instance, so this does directly impact everyone here reading this.
incorrect: my instance is just the admin manually reading and outputting bits furiously, like the telegraph operator in Lucky Luke

Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.
I feel like this is an overly extreme take. Coming off of being on reddit for years I am astounded on a day to day with just how much I can actually get away with saying on Lemmy and expressing myself here. I find myself continuously reflecting on the fact that even in my most liberal (in the literary sense) takes with others, I'm still holding back, sugarcoating, or discounting things as "worth saying" at least 30% of the time. I don't know what's going on over on piefed, but Lemmy as a whole has been the opposite of authoritarian censorship for me. I've never felt more outspoken in an online presence.
the astronaut meme but its 'wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?'
lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.
