Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue.
We have attempted to make good-faith parley with both the instance admin and the comm moderators, but we’ve reached a point which we feel that until these behaviors are addressed by instance administration, we can no longer continue to federate in good-faith while our users are being actively invalidated by a small-but-vocal portion of the forum. Once we are confident that these behaviors have ceased and are unlikely to continue, we are more-than-happy to refederate in the name of queer solidarity.
Thanks for bearing with us :07:
Hey I’m drunk and they happened when my grandparents were 20, but you’re right.
You’ll get some discussion about that if your want it, but most of our positions come from the history of revolution in the global South and how revolutionaries survived the onslaught of Western Capital.
The USSR is dead, their ideas live on in ever evolving forms in the revolutions sparked after 1917 and 1940. There is no dogmatic position we can take when the position of the global proletariat is in constant flux and the revolutionary avenues available in nation states vary so much.
It’s sad because my day job is looking at maps all day, I’ll do better in the future
