Nah
Its been fine, there been more comments from users of a lets say diferent vibe from hexbear common culture but there been positive interactions from instances like lemmygrad, lemmy.ml, midwestsocial, blahaj zone and some others.
Over all i say federation has been a positive change for Hexbear, it gives us more slop in many ways
Yey c/indigenous 
On the bright side, it makes people go to other instances instead of centralizing most the lemmy users on one big one
HEY LEMMY NERDS, IF STALIN IS SO GOOD, EXPLAIN THIS
Which are your 3 favorites lemmy instances besides Lemmy.ml?
also thanks for the work you do
but is it better than this ?
its better to be safe, than to risk it with the spammers, hopefully this matter will get resolved quickly
