We’ve added a few more instances to the federation list, including the likes of lemmy.world - let’s see how we go. So far federation hasn’t been bad, so I am cautiously optimistic.

We’re just looking for more people to talk to and Lemmy gives users the ability to block entire instances, so in theory there should be no need for anyone to defederate us. Some people will anyway but whatever: https://defed.xyz/check?name=hilariouschaos.com&software=lemmy
It is nice, and yes I completely agree with you, being antagonistic doesn’t help anything.
I think HC right now is a desirable instance to federate with, we are content generators (which very few instances are) and we’re not trying to fight anyone or piss anyone off on purpose. Majority of our content is not political at all either.
I think most of the instances that have de-federated us went by the “they’re just EH reincarnated” stigma and didn’t bother to look any further. I think that’s pretty silly, since we’re really not that despite many users having come from there.
We’re always going to be a bad fit with the “super safe space” instances and that’s fair enough, but my hope is we can play together with everyone else.
