its going to be cool when hexbear federates with others instances, for like 2 years we have been a small socialist reddit
they are gonna do a whitelist intead of a blocklist like other instances, they will probably federate with lemmygrad and lemmy since they have good relations with the modteam of both, any other is a bit of a hard tell
undefined> The process was very chaotic, and as a result, the fork of Lemmy used for Hexbear.net will likely never be capable of federating with the wider network of Lemmy instances
actually hexbear is currently on Lemmy v0.17.0, when they update to version 0.18.0 they will be able to federate
a month ago it was like around 400-500 online users, today is 2300
they dont hate video games, they hate multiplayer games and its effects on childrens/minors, china like japan and korea has had problems with minors getting very addicted to online games and living in online cafes https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/02/06/national/kyushu-gaming-addition-young-people/
now to you and me its looks kinda weird right, but you need to keep in mid that those regulations only target kids under 18, also it only affects online so a teen could play all Legend of zelda he wants but only 2 hours of games like league of legends or dota.
see it like how in the west they ban selling cigarettes to minors but people over 18 can buy as many as they can.
this article tries to explain why do they have a negative view over online games https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3156540/china-vs-video-games-why-beijing-stopped-short-gaming-ban-keeping
its sucks to see a site you used to like slowy becoming worst and worst, but its always better to look for alternatives over sinking with the ship
lemm.ee federates both world and beehaw and i have seen a few users from there so its probably fine
