Thank fucking god. It's exhausting being around people for whom any meme, any post, any comment, has to spin into how good communism is, how bad the libs are, how good China is, and how bad The West TM is. It is exhausting.

Thank goodness.
I'm reminded of a story I read a while back - not sure where - about how if you let a Nazi into your bar, you eventually end up running a Nazi bar. I think the same applies to online forums. You let Nazis overrun a forum, everyone else leaves, and eventually you might as well just be running Stormfront.
Why not defederate them before things got outta hand?
Lemmmygrad supposedly is for people who support communism, but when talking to them, they really are supporting totalitarian countries which have nothing to do with communism.
Whenever communists or socialists gather, the tankies take over.
It's been like that since the past 100 years.
[Looks around nervously]
Aren't we gathering here too? This defederation seems like tankies not taking over.
Anecdotally I was in a bunch of actual leftist subreddits; I only departed because capitalists enshittified the whole website.
Maybe you just didn't recognize it. Reddit leftist spaces were famously led by tankie mods.
Yup, you would call out their BS and you get banned. The system was perfect and no one is allowed to fully criticize it.
Itβs amazing what some state-sponsored troll farms can convince people of. Some people canβt evaluate content they see online critically and gobble up the propaganda
Lemmy.world is run by the feds
lmao an ml user mad about tankies getting defederated. Totally on-brand.
Whatβs the deal with lemmy.ml? Iβve noticed a more aggressive/4channy tone to it compared to lemmy.world but I canβt find any more information about it
It's got a lot of tankies. Also, they'll ban you if you say you hate tankies because they love tankies on .ml
Lemmy.ml is one of the major main Lemmy instances, and it has a bunch of the development crew for the project on the admin team and moderation squad.
The ML, incidentally, was picked to stand for Marxist-Leninist. The core Lemmy devs are very politically left leaning, but that usually doesn't cause many issues because there are enough instances running the software that you're not locked into their echo chamber.

You guys were still federated with Lemmygrad this long?
Most of their communities were blocked since months, that's why you didn't see much of them.
The phrasing of "an increase in hate speech and calls to violence" suggests that there is a tolerable level of those.
I'm pro voilence against people who block grocery store entrances because they figured that was the best place to chat with someone they ran into... so yes.
People going slow in the fast lane on the freeway
