LOOK AT THIS DOPE ASS BEAR
Jealous?
Honestly if the result of the federation is just every lib instance defederating and having to write one of these “it’s not for ideological reasons, it’s just that supporting NATO is mandatory” announcements it’s all been worth it, that shit is funny as hell
Literally nothing changes for us except them starting internal conflict, which is definitely fun to go poke at with a stick
Yeah, our phase of having site-destroying struggle sessions has been over quite awhile. For these new instances, they’re just getting started.
The current mods are chill. The current active user base is chill. Most of the posts are either News Of The Day or hobbies or podcast drama or inside joke shit posts.
Imagine being a community that’s terrified of this.
I’m looking forward to seeing screenshots from beehaw’s inevitable dramatic implosion.
Just this out there for the Lemmy libs:
Both sides of a war can be bad. We don’t have to support either. The working class are the only victims, and will continue to be victimized until peace is negotiated.
I know. I know. This makes me a woke tankie. I bring shame on our house.
I think my favorite comment on their announcement was the one that was like, “they’re even on MOSCOW TIME!” If that was one of you jokers making a funny, don’t tell me. Just let me enjoy it.
There were so many good ones to choose from. The one where they were getting afraid of the wrong instance and it had to be pointed out to them. The one concerned about our mods because them asking us to be polite was a real world “cult brainwashing tactic”. The one who’d read Marx but wasn’t a communist because no communist organisation in the world today talked about workers or class struggle and actually the Democrats had done more to size the means of production for the worker.
There were a lot of funny ones. The only one that pissed me off was the one that said we were prejudiced on the basis of race, religion, and something else. Gender, maybe? That one almost convinced me to make an account just to say, “Excuse me, what the fuck?” But I managed to make healthy decisions and not get into a fight with a dumbass in the middle of the night.

Lemmyworld is forever going to be referred to as the instance full of pedos, transphobes and fascists that tried its hardest not to defederate an explicitly nazi instance while pulling this shit with a soft dirtbag left instance that spawned from the chapo podcast of all things.
Like, what a fucking reputation to give yourselves so early on.
Haha, your comment is taken as example by a poster with many upvotes to why it is good to not federate with us. Since it shows people obvious dunking (so people being uncivil) aren’t allowed liberal rights of the marketplace of ideas. They feel it is unfair to label them “full of pedos” (for taking to long to ban the stuff, unfair to be labeled transphobes (though there is still plenty to be found on the site, unless hexbear), unfair to be labeled being more friendly to fascists than socialists.
Funny that the unfair labeling of hexbear’s userbase doesn’t seem to be as unfair.
If they don’t want to be labelled as “full of pedos” then they shouldn’t be federated with instances serving pedo content while defederating with instances like ours.
They’ve made their bed, they can lie in it. They think a bunch of socialists are worse than pedos and nazis. They can have a taste of what that means in terms of reputation when thousands and thousands of people repeat it everywhere.
In fairness we are probably the largest community of actual communists and anarchists etc that have read the manifesto and the bread book.certainly in America and kkklanada and probably in much of western euroe, too.
That’s a very bold claim you’ve made that people here have read the manifesto and the break book
I think GZD, even in it’s current form is still the largest tbh
I went to lemmyworld for the first time and holy fuck I didn’t realize they were actual libs. Like they’re talking about how Biden is doing an amazing job as president type of libs. I thought they were just the lamer side of socialism but no they’re actual liberals wtf
Biden is doing an amazing job as president
Hell yeah, strike-breaker and warmonger in chief doing a great job strike-breaking and warmongering.
They were talking about how they’re already pre-emptively sick about hearing about Biden breaking the rail strike when it comes re-election time. They’re already breaking out the Bernie bro signs again
Nah, there are plenty of decent Mastodon instances, and have been since the beginning. It has been a little radlib heavy, but this sort of liberal only came in with the Twitter collapse.
