Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

MODERATORS
If nothing else, the past week has reinforced my confidence in the local users of sh.itjust.works. Hexbear has been a massive disappointment, but SJW has, as always, provided an abundance of good takes.
I'm not cashing in my chips, I'm just realizing that I need to raise my level going forward. Hexbear is like the level 1 boss that we need to defeat to reach the next stage of Lemmy's growth. They have a bombastic opening attack, but upon closer analysis they also have gaping vulnerabilities.
If we ever refederate, a whitelist rather than a banlist may do some good. SJW simply lacks the moderator capacity to filter the mix of culture shock and bad faith users. Granted, a whitelist would be a huge undertaking in and of itself, but I can’t see any other way forward between our two instances.
To me this is kind of a life lesson on extremes.
As in, adding opposing extremists into the mix doesn't really balance things out, you're just stuck with more extremists of a different cult.
