There is a lot of misinformation surrounding that though. For one thing, Lemmy.ml is not defederated by default. Hexbear is, but only if the admin chooses that, hence it is not a “hard-coded setting”, as anyone who knows how an if() statement works would realize. The statements I saw had more lies (whether intentional or otherwise) than truth about them.
Which is why I personally blocked the entire Lemmy.ml instance - it’s not worth my time sifting through all the huge piles upon piles of disinformation to find tiny little nuggets of truth: I am not that desperate for content.
