As I explained in my reply to you, I misrepresented nothing. Lemmy.world admins banned Hexbear because of ideological disagreements they deemed unacceptable before even federating. Hexbear never said they were going to "wage a propaganda war," they just suggested that if their users were to discuss politics in federated threads that they try to be more professional about it.
