(side note: why does FediDB not list hexbear.net, lemmy.ml, or lemmygrad.ml?)

Logically it must be because its run by a seething anti-communist liberal I assume. That liberal's name is pixelfed.

Let's check their moderation policy: https://fedidb.com/platform/moderation

Servers that exist mainly to host or spread the kinds of content below are removed from the directory and from every total on the site. Decisions are informed by community reports, documented violations and the health of the network as a whole. Banned servers contribute nothing to the statistics.

And it lists a bunch of things but I know what it had to have been, the 21st century faithful liberal anti-free speech exception they love deploying:

Misinformation

Servers dedicated mainly to spreading:

• Deliberate misinformation campaigns
• Harmful medical misinformation
• Election interference content
• Conspiracy theories that target vulnerable communities
• Content that undermines civic processes

I would guess they classify all of us as in violation of all but the medical misinfo. And who decides what's misinfo? Why the liberal institutions like the CIA and EU (CIA in a Euro flag). There's something hilarious about banning the flagship instance run by the developers of this particular federation software but it was always inevitable that liberals would close ranks and do all they could to marginalize and silence communists even on their own software.
