Before you read:
I don’t know what’s going on with hillarious chaos? I have recently been hearing some jabbering and rumors. I am just asking questions here. Take everything said here with a microscopic grain of salt.
So I have been here for a few days; I joined on 19th of November. I first struggled to find we communities I used to lurk in like dbzero and linuxmemes this was no biggie so I moved on from it and decided to hang out in the local communities which I got bored pretty quickly due to lack of posts. I returned to lemmy.world for browsing. I was curious as to why many instances have defederated from hilarious chaos. So I searched it up and found some things I don’t have evidence to prove any of this remember that. Source: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/hilariouschaos.com
This could have happened due to
misunderstandings or moderation issue idk

What’s the deal here people are saying stuff without evidence and the evidence they do provide doesn’t really prove much.
I am not very knowledgeable in politics (right/left stuff) as I am not an American. But this is very concerning interms of reputation of HC.
This is not even limited to Lemmy, Other Lemmy/kbin adjacent stuff like piefed.social also blocks HC instance and compares it to hexbear and exploding heads.

Nothing is transparent everything is heresay I will be leaving hilariouschaos for now due to many red flags. I’ve sent some dms to the admins on matrix.
If anyone related to HC sees this please explain what is going on? As of time of writing this lemmy.world hasn’t defederated from HC. Mods, can you give some answers?

There was one major rabble rouser from exploding heads that was here for a month or two at the very beginning but he was banned by the HC mods when it became apparent that shit was going sideways.
We prefer free speech here… But we also don’t want to be de federated. So, while we do have free speech in our news section and such, we don’t have people posting bigoted memes or going wild.
I’m not a moderator but based off of my conversations with Alice from the time of the first problems, this is meant to be a lowkey comedy instance, and there’s actually a bunch of Christians here too and we post news and talk about Christianity a bit. Perhaps a bit libertarian bend in terms of politics.
Of course I’m just putting this up as a user.
Hope that helps.
Also Alice is cool and chill and just wants to joke around so if anyone is a big problem or there’s sometbing to be taken care of, let us know.
At the start, HC had a handful of people join from the old exploding-heads.com instance, and that was enough for many people to label us “EH 2.0” and de-federate.
Ironically, the most excitable members in question have long left when they realized this was not “EH 2.0”. I’m also not American and had nothing to do with exploding-heads.
The idea behind HC was to have a laid back instance where we could post whatever and not worry about heavy handed ideological moderation. @Alice@hilariouschaos.com and I really don’t care what your politics are, and that’s the whole point.
That’s all there is to it, what you see is what you get. Anyone can just browse through our posts and make their own mind up. We also welcome everyone, irrespective of politics.
We have been around for almost a year now and I think we have been good neighbors. lemmy.world is still federated with us because there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be and they are thankfully mature and rational enough to take things at face value. I’d like for us to be federated with everyone else too, but I don’t think their minds can be changed.
Anyway, I see you have already deleted your account, but if you keep reading this thread then maybe this post helps clear things up for you. You are of course welcome to rejoin anytime if you want to.
I really appreciate this response and stance. Thank you both for this instance. I didn’t have any real issues on the other instance but I deleted my account there to come here exclusively. I lost some instances in defederation but that’s okay for the trade off of not having to worry about the instance not having my back if shit hits the wall.
I’m also glad with some of the instances that are defederated because I didn’t want to have to block those on my own. So it worked itself out in that way.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it here, it’s great to have you with us!
Means a lot to us. We’re happy you’re here
