We've finally been defederated from lemmy world (lemmygrad.ml)

Fuck you reddit 2.0, took you long enough. Thanks though, we'll stop seeing your crap posters pollute our comment section from now on.

90% of people we ban come from world. Very funny that they said they saw a rise of hate speech from our instance though considering the worlders we ban are fucking genocidal maniacs and fascists. You can check the modlog (it's unfortunately federated), we are one of the tamest instances when it comes to banning people and deleting comments/posts.

For any worlder that was based and liked interacting with lemmygrad (you will notice we did not ban good faith participants), I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles 🙃

Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

On top of that, for the worlders finally breathing free again now that the scary tankies are away, you think the USSR wasn't communist or whatever. You base that on whatever you've been taught in school. We've read things. We've actually gone beyond whatever our high school teachers said and looked into the USSR for ourselves. If you're not cowards you will debate us about communism and "totalitarian" regimes, we'll wipe the floor with you. Bet you don't even know where the world totalitarian comes from or who coined it without looking it up.

And we retain our perfect track record of not blocking real instances while you further isolate yourselves from anything that might cause you some amount of discomfort. Really good democracy you got going there where wannabe tech bros instance admins decide for you what you're allowed to see, must be those liberal values I hear so much about.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Look at their defederation thread, there's some really vile lies and projections about us.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I did just a little bit ago.

Their take on the conflict in Palestine follows the logic of Zionist organizations, and generally, they show that they don't know much about the world outside of their narrow Western perspective. So, good fuckin' riddance.

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.

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. fidel-salute

They went full masks off with this conflict.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They're literally indistinguishable from reddit-logo at this point

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's where they all came from so no surprise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

At this point it's not from Reddit, it's probably from 4chan or even the real Stormfront.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop with reddit stormfront. Is that some anti-communist circlejerk?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Stormfront is a Neo-Nazi forum founded in 1996. The joke is that Reddit is similarly fascist and heading down the same path, which is why the emote is titled :reddit-logo:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

the joke is that there was a stormfront subreddit, this is not a doctored screenshot.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

part of the joke is also the fact that reddit has generally been quicker banning leftist subs while doing nothing about obvious nazi ones until they're forced to by PR.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Also stormfront-world

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

and nothing of value was lost

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

anti-cracker-aktion 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.

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

Trash takes itself out, I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

We can always set up our own. I was considering propping it up myself if no one else had; but idk the kind of reach it'd have.
