    Isn’t the significant presence of hexbear folks here pretty solid evidence that their admins don’t have good control over their users (or rather that they have no interest in following their own rules)? They were specifically told to stay out of metas for other instances.

      I was under the impression that we were only supposed to stay out of threads that had a disclaimer like this:

      This is an admin post, intended for blahaj lemmy users. Top level posts from members of other instances will be removed.

      I’m not aware of any request not to make or comment on a post like this.

      @CARCOSA@hexbear.net @DuckNuckem@hexbear.net @TomboyShulk@hexbear.net Do you think that this thread or Hexbears participating in it goes against your rules? One of you had previously said “I am formally asking for Hexbears to stop commenting on meta posts in other instances” (πφ) but your current Code of Conduct says “Allow instances their own space for discussion, if requested implicitly or explicitly.”.

        There is nothing in the sidebar of the community nor did the original poster imply or specify they wanted only lemmy.blahaj.zone local users to participate. If you notice in the Admin Update - Hexbear post and the Hexbear Discussion Round 2 posts the amount of hexbear users was much lower, in fact a hexbear user was banned for participating in meta threads.

        The Federated Code of Conduct post supercedes the previous comment I made, I apologize I should have edited my comment to say “I am formally requesting hexbear user to cease commenting in this meta post.”

      Admins have very little visibility into what their users are up to in other instances and no control aside from easily dodged instance bans.

      That’s a bit of a silly rule for a federated space like Lemmy. Just because someone is on a different instance doesn’t mean they don’t participate in a community on this instance and want to have a say in its future. If one of the communities I subscribed to on another instance had an ableism problem, I would want to be able to speak out against that.
