dunk so hard the admins stepped down
I just can’t believe the ee user who tried to deflect a hate killing of a gay man in texas into you see this is why China bad moment.
Also citing Russia’s homophobic laws. Yeah, dude, I know Russia is homophobic! That’s one of many reasons why I think they shouldn’t have dissolved the USSR!
Not to mention that, for all of China’s faults WRT LGBTQ people, I think it’s borderline unheard of for the government to be so out of touch and callous in China that the police would allow a hate crime like this to go down after months of the victim complaining about their neighbors being hateful bigots.
Then gets mad at people derailing the thread, that rin originally derailed
I guess you can be an honorary hexbear admin
This is how you honour our hero? With empty felicitations?
well if we’re not careful, FunkyStuff might destroy hexbear with his most enormous powers if granted even more power to wield at his whim.
Proof that bullying libs works
Ah, this is really too bad, because I liked being on an instance that was federated with pretty much every other instance because I feel that defederation generally sucks, barring some extreme exceptions (n.b., the so-called “Tankie Triad” :D is not one of those exceptions).
As far as I know, this will only leave lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip as fully federated instances. :(
Edit: I forgot to mention lemmy.ml. Also, apparently lemmy.today is also pretty good about not defederating. Lemmy.sdf.org is a bit problematic because it’s not actively maintained.
Leminal.space is good
Isn’t lemmy.ml still federated to almost everything?
(I do not keep up with instance news, very prepared to be laughably wrong here)
True too. I forgot that. I think I’m leery because usually the people who keep whining about the “Tankie Triad” include lemmy.ml as part of that triad and keep lobbying for other instances to defederate from it.
Been on here since spez shit the bed, Idk haven’t really seen anything specifically tankie from here
Same here. The tankie hate on Lemmy is way, way, way overdone and stupid.
Edit: on second thought, it’s not even just tankie hate. It’s calling everything to the left of them tankie.
You have to remember, the people complaining about the “tankie triad” consider everything to the left of Kamala Harris to be “tankies”
I’m called a liberal by hexbear and a radical leftist by liberals.
Reddthat.com also has a policy of federating just about everyone. I think the only instance they’re defederated from is Threads.
Interesting, thank you! I will add that to my list.
I do wonder where I’ll go if/when sdf is gone
If you like seeing posts from all (legal) lemmy instances, it seems that lemmy.zip will be the only other lemmy instance that’s federated with pretty much everyone. I mentioned lemmy.today in my post, but have since learned that they’re apparently having problems with spam accounts.
They also shielded universalmonk and donaldjmusk (conservative/republican posters).

I’m not conservative or republican. Never have been. I’m a socialst-anarchist. I got banned from .world because I advocated third-party voting–specifically the socialist party. The same party I ended up voting for in the election.
Before the election, advocating for third-party was a bannable offense. NOW it’s cool to talk third parties, but then it was not.
I’m not sure why you keep pushing the narrative that I’m conservative, even tho I created and mod socialist communities (even on .world: @swp@lemmy.world), I created a socialist party Mastadon account. And the majority of my posts are socialist/anarchist/piracy. I’m actually on the same dbzer0 instance that you are, and I’m on the sh.sh.itjust.works instance.
My posts there are public:

I’ve never supported the duopoly, got banned for saying I would never support the duopoly. I’ve never written any conservative articles. I DO believe that conservative voices should be allowed on Lemmy, because I despise censorship. I’ve posted articles from every political spectrum. But that doesn’t make me a conservative.
If I were a conservative, then why would I also post so many links to socialist articles and socialist causes?!
Any more details on that? I’m not familiar with the history.
!conservative@lemmy.today !conservative@hilariouschaos.com
These two comms are modded, and mostly populated by those guys (there is speculation that they are the same people, hence, they are banned on lemm.ee).
I see, thanks!
Good to know. I just am always hesitant to use anything on a .zip domain
Yes, that was an unfortunate choice.
What’s the deal with it?
Can end up downloading bad things unintentionally. People like to hide or obscure things by putting them in a zip (while also making it easier to send files)
I see, thanks for the info.
Mao had just said, “uhh the state is an oppressive institution so now we’ll just dismantle everything and y’all can just organize horizontally or whatever.”
The funny thing is, he kinda did. The result was these roving, undisciplined militias calling themselves Red Guards and holding (actual) struggle sessions and killing each other, and committing a bunch of atrocities.
I know there were actual historical reasons but I like to imagine that one day Mao somehow got possessed by a redditor and started doing what any “anti-tankie” would say he should do, denouncing the government as having fallen to bourgeois opportunists and calling on the people to rise up in this structureless, “anti-authoritarian” way. But since the outcome was bad, it’s of course, “No, not like that.”
Yeah it’s a great example, and there’s a lot of irony in how during this part of history Western Maoism became the main current of the left student movement. The anti-authoritarians have always been very quick to adopt the most idealistic, anti-materialist lines just because it “feels right.”
My favorite was Ben Shapiro saying “Mao took away everyone’s guns,” and reactionaries started parroting this, which was the complete opposite of what happened. Mao was like “Here have some guns. I’m not gonna tell you what you should do, but also it’d be a real shame if some landlords tried to collect rent from their tenants.”
They’ll claim he killed 60 million people, but then not explain how. Hint: revolutionaries went around shooting anyone they didn’t like after communists won the civil war.
“I don’t know where political power grows out of, I hope it’s not from the barrel of a gun, I hate those things”
- Mao
no more half measures walter
I was in that same thread shooting the shit. They didn’t know we shoot to kill!
Honestly, I was just trying to get banned from their instance so I didn’t have to see their garbage anymore. This is some of the best and funniest news I’ve heard on here in a long while
fucken gottem lmao
The Marxist marksman!
The post heard around the world
the post about .ee getting fucking cancelled just turned my bad day all the fuck around. get wrecked losers
Should have gotten the newer model
“oh, log off. See what that one comrade did when they logged off and touched grass?”
LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOG ON KEEP POSTING MOTHERFUCKERS! DO NOT LURK QUIETLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT! RAGEBAIT AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT!
oh no… where will all the chuds go now?
To axis.world like always
But I thought they wanted to be on a free speech instance?
