Fair warning: You need to actually be dangerous to their thought bubble to eat a ban. Just insulting them won’t suffice, they’ll leave that up to make criticism of their position look irate and irrational, what you need to do is to go to asklemmygrad or such and get both up- and downvotes. Make them question.
You might be able to force them to if you threaten to DMCA them for hosting your own copyrighted content. Posts and comments on Lemmy are technically literature which is copyright protected, and while you give your own instance license to host them via their Terms of service, you don’t necessarily give the same permission to remote instances like Hexbear.
That fun little loophole with how federation works, you can explicitly request instances exclude you or it can really suck for them. Lemmy should probably have a built-in option for this to exclude yourself in this manner but don’t count on the devs to add it unless people start DMCAing Hexbear and ML to “opt-out” of federation with those servers.
They were really chomping at the bit to ban me for months, because I constantly criticize “left unity” and deny that anarchists can collab with MLs with any systematic significance. (You should see how mald they got at some of my memes. Talking about 1000+ comment pile on!)
As a result, they kept posting “dunks” about our instance in their subs full of bad faith and hypocrisy, which I felt compelled to defend against, but I stuck to the subject at hand, so they had no excuse to ban me. Eventually they just banned me from one of their dunk comms for “liberalism” and deleted all my defenses of our instance that I had been writing for hours. That injustice triggered my ASD and I called that mod a “hypocritical PoS” in one DM, so they finally had an excuse 😅.

I think the idea that’s your content will be rehosted by other servers and you give implicit permissions to do so should he part of your tos
