The mods of all the major communities there remove comments criticism Hexbear and usually follow it up with a ban. It’s absolutely clear what is happening and it shouldn’t be allowed to continue.

In a couple months once you’ve decided that some other instance is the tankie instance and want it gone, we’ll have this conversation again.
