Libertarians always were the shelbyville of ideologies with the whole thing being predicated on a false mythos of the development of commerce based on just-so stories.

This would be too slow to solve the immediate problem, but it's something more long term to think about.
Yes and I think it is important to emphasis that we should treat this as a problem that we must address on the fediverse level long term and not just a local site quick fix. This issue is basically a classic example of the tactics reactionaries use to dupe naive libs. Our critics tone police the public posts of hexbear users reportedly not civil enough in our defense of the marginalized all while the criticizing instances are hosting those conducting harassment campaigns in private.
This sort of behavior can so easily continue invisible to those that it does not target and indeed it was invisible to me until this thread. What is great about hexbear is that this thread will be taken seriously as were previous incidences of private harassment (ie: TC69 vs downvotes). On other instances that are run by more reddit brained individuals I do not have the same confidence that such voices will be listened to.
That is why our solution should be tools that can be upstreamed to lemmy, particularly ones that can be applied by individual users. In this way even instances that defederate with us will still be haunted by our specter.
This was suggested before federation, possibly it was by you.
I think it is a good idea but I also have another suggestion.
User setting to disable private messages from federated instances. Turn off federation until implemented.
The benefit of this approach is mainly that if it is pushed to upstream lemmy then it can be a tool for all marginalized groups on all instances rather than just a solution for hexbear alone.

Not all unencrypted apps are equivalent. Not wanting to use something owned by meta under any circumstances is completely reasonable.
Young people are so entitled these days expecting to just be handed luxuries like air and natural light.
My guess is they were scheduled to appear but received their Herman Cain awards shortly before the poster was made
Most of the people on lemmy probably are in their 20s.
Migration from the corporate walled garden internet to the fediverse is going to be an eternal september of culture shock.
when someone is "as left as they come" there will be a knife left in your back when they come
picking your fights and only engaging when you have an advantage is just basic strategy though. if they had the sense to do this on the geopolitical level as well then they wouldn't be an empire in decline but here we are.
