Very noticeable that they didn't specify how he wasn't a dictator, nor what other label would be more appropriate.

Thankfully, OP is from an instance that has not federated with Hexbear. Hexbear users won't be able to see this post.

But they have posted to .ml which is federated with hexbear. So the poster's instance needs to be federated no the instance of the community where the post is?

You need both. For a comment you even need the community instance, the poster instance, and the commenter instance to all be federated

It is the best way to block spammers and trolls.
