Is there any benefit/missed opportunity to having my account hosted on the non-political “liminal.space” if I am mostly going to be using it to follow and contribute to instances such as lemmygrad or hexbear? I have very little understanding of data privacy or content moderation or “data federation” (a brief search engine peruse didn’t explain a whole lot), and have just been getting into learning about anti-capitalism/socialism-communism throughout history from introductory channels on the boobtube. My instinct was to not host my account on lemmygrad, fearing that I would be put on a list somewhere by my dystopian surveillance state of a government. (I am leaving Reddit this week after having my milquetoast remarks regarding imperialism and military provocation get removed from a semi-political post (on a non-politics sub) related to the aftermath caused by the fascist candidate who has been playing a game of [nationalist] chicken with one of the 2 political parties in the country since losing his campaign for reelection)

So that explains why the all feed has been less shit lately.

But leemygrad IS a hate instance, tho. They hate imperialism, they hate billionaires, they hate poverty and exploitation. And they absolutely hate racism and social chavanism.

and nothing of value was lost

Awwh, I'm gonna miss the video game communities 😔 Oh well.

Trash takes itself out, I suppose.

If you're not cowards you will debate us about communism and "totalitarian" regimes, we'll wipe the floor with you.

Then how come when someone does explain the flaws in your thinking and attempts debate they get banned?

Pearl clutching liberals have to invent wild accusations of hate speech about y'all rather than just admit they're imperialists

They really are doing their best to reinvent reddit. Solidarity to y'all. I've always liked lemmygrad and you're all comrades to me.

It's quite frankly amazing lemmygrad's federation with world lasted as long as it did. Hexbear was preemptively defederated from .world and their justification for it was literally the fact that we were explicitly against NATO, full stop.

Without lemmygrad, .world's fascist bar syndrome is going to massively accelerate.

Truly unfortunate as it’s one of the biggest instances. But completely foreseeable as they were seething pretty intensely as they got whipped up into a genocidal rage at the propaganda around the conflict in Palestine.

If this were 2003 they would have defederated from us over calling Bush a liar about WMD’s in Iraq no doubt.

all they ever have is vague-posting nonsense. I can see them already in a few years saying they were always against this genocide while every post from this time will not have been deleted showing full support, pointing this out to them will only get you tone-policed. make no excuses for the terror.

Can't say its surprising that the reddit / instance is defederating from all the communist ones.

Its unfortunate because people who sign up there won't be exposed to an anti-imperialist / non-western-supremacist perspective, and will essentially get the exact same takes that they see on reddit.

They've created what they've wanted, a reddit island in the fediverse. They'll continue to defederate from any instance that challenges US imperialism.

At least it'll be less moderation work for us tho.

is this a crabs out situation? it feels like a crabs out situation

the one instance I've hated the most has been .world, solely because 9/10 times when there's a pending report, that report was about a .worlder saying some horrible shit. and that .worlders will report our comments and posts for "violence advocation" when all we're doing is discussing the conflict.

Let me guess, it was all because of the Israel-Palestine stuff and they thought we were "aNtIsEmEtIc!1!1!1!" while they gobble up orientalist propaganda about Hamas.

Also,

Palestine will be free a month from now

I think that's sadly too optimistic. It will probably take at least a year for even the most optimistic chance of Palestinian liberation, though I hope it is even sooner.

They went full masks off with this conflict.
