that close lol

Lemmy world is considering defederating from us due to the “same reasons” as Hexbear. They will go on the wall of shame, they couldn’t handle our facts. But on the upside you’ll see much fewer libs 😁

Also remember that you speak mostly for the audience. You talk to one person in a debate, but plenty of people listen and that’s where the real reach is. We have actually already brought some people over with our arguments, as I’ve seen in comments and account requests. I don’t want to pretend there’s been dozens of people joining over this, but there’s certainly been some.

edit: but you are justified in not engaging with them either.

6 bucks a month for a social media planning tool not a full on advisor haha

I love how we now meme around the Hexbear demonym lol (it’s all in good fun Hexcubs)

hahaha are you serious, I was reading their comments thinking wtf are they even trying to say??

edit: this is gold, uphold tankieism-wokieism thought

There’s some mechanics that need to be sorted out with federation. But I say this while not offering any help to Lemmy, so I’m just ranting and not criticising where the project is right now. They only have so many devs working on it and the founders are doing overtime to bring new features in.

I’m banned from lemmy world apparently which means that lemmy world users who interact on lemmygrad or any other instance will not see my comments, as they won’t be federated (copied over to lemmy world’s database essentially). I can see some problems with that because while I get the principle, it effectively allows instance administrators to determine who can read whom. If you make a friend on another instance too and they get banned or their instance defederated, you’ll lose all contact with them.

Perhaps even worse is that lemmy.world users who come to lemmygrad won’t be able to read my comments, which is just weird because this is my instance. I effectively cannot interact with them even on my home instance! Being an admin too makes it more complicated, like if I posted a pinned message to welcome users from X instance and I’m banned on that instance, they effectively wouldn’t see it. You also don’t get a notif when you’re banned or unbanned, so you would never know.

But I’m sure these will be improved in due time.

just because it makes libs on federation seethe im pinning this post.

In the minds of some, we communists are apparently one and the same with fascists.

But the reason there are so few out and out fascists on Lemmy is exactly because it’s a communist project, and we were the biggest instance before the reddit exode. They actually discussed this on reddit in some of the more reactionary subs and decided it wasn’t worth getting on lemmy because of this.

it’s interesting because goat links to a ziq piece on their community.

ziq who gets laughed out of the room even by other anarchists, like they don’t claim him either lol

I’m not so sure about that, I’m sure he’ll be able to flee before anyone else and enjoy some nice days in the US or Canada

As a white man, I give everyone here the right to say cracker in my presence. That should solve the issue, right? Libs love solving problems like that

I like how they linked to the Zelensky war crimes list I made and the only problem they have with it is:

• russia did war crimes too (not the topic)

• the chemical labs are not a war crime by themselves (never said they were)

can’t even respond to anything else because deep down they know it’s true.

the person who created that community (yes, you, I know you’re reading this) has issues lol, imagine spending this much time collecting screenshots of an online forum just for your personal enjoyment, nobody even visits that community lol

But also he did say elections would be postponed to after the war

Yo as per our survey, more than 60% of our users don’t identify as white, cis het males. Additionally we have users from literally over the world. Waiting to see Beehaw’s survey.

Basically if you’re a communist you’re already on the left. So if you’re to the left of communists, what are you? An ultra communist.

They’re the people who can usually recite whole quotes by heart and have bookmarks and notes in all their books. But when it comes to translating that theory into the real world, nothing is ever good enough because it doesn’t follow what Lenin or Bordiga wrote to the letter. They’re the embodiment of if you can’t do it perfectly, then don’t do anything at all.

Are you subscribed to those communities?

I’m not worried.

We don’t have aspirations at lemmygrad to become the biggest or most active instance. We’re happy to have a space where we can be with each other. If we wanted to be big we wouldn’t be running a communist instance. In fact, we get a lot of new account requests, but we deny a lot of them for being ultras or anarchists (some we let through if they seem good).

Those new arrivals don’t understand the nature of federation and the nature of open source software. Like others have said, they want reddit just on a different domain name. Then let them have their Reddit, I’d rather they confine themselves to a single space than spread all over the fediverse.

Frankly Lemmygrad can survive without federation, what’s important is that Lemmy is the most advanced open source software to run a link aggregator, no other project comes close. Someone in the reddit thread was saying that because of the devs’ political leanings, the project would never grow and this is exactly the type of elitism reddit produces. This person discovered Lemmy yesterday, but has very strong opinions on it and apparently understands the ins and outs of the project. Meanwhile the Lemmy project keeps growing and is the most robust and popular open source alternative to Reddit. But we’re sorry our volunteer developers are not slaving away hard enough to produce your toys, great Redditor 🙏

Anyone can use lemmy, and what we should start thinking about is when the fascists will start opening their instances. There is no way you can prevent that at a fundamental code level; lemmy cannot stop anyone from opening their instance. All you can do is defederate from them. The fascists are probably not going to start opening their instances because of said politics from the devs though, so once again tankies are saving libs from fascism and get ostracized for it lol. They’ve had 4 years to try and coopt this project and they haven’t done it.

There is no way we will defederate from Lemmy.ml or that Lemmy.ml will defederate from us. People can clamor for it all they want, it’s never gonna happen. If they’re not happy on lemmy.ml then they can join one of many dead liberal instances that keep popping up because they want to be administrators of their own space rather than work with others.

We’ve handled an “exodus” before (they go back to Reddit in the end no matter how much they criticise it), we’ve handled trolls, we’ve handled DDoS attacks, they can’t bring anything we haven’t seen before.

It is possible to know what’s happening in the DPRK, the government talks about it. There’s also English-speaking content creators who relay some of that information to the world in a language we understand.

Official documents, such as how their government and communist party (Workers’ Party of Korea) works or what Juche is, are freely available online.

You seem to assume that the DPRK would have reasons to lie, which I believe to be a remnant of essentially growing up being told the DPRK is a “hermit kingdom” and a “rogue state” (like all of us here) – in how you call defectors, for example, which implies that people had to flee Korea. There are thousands of Korean workers from the DPRK working abroad, most of them in Russia. Those that “fled” with their heart-wrenching stories actually just found a way to go to China, a bordering country.

Those that want to go back, for the most part, did not want to leave in the first place. Many left during the Arduous March, the economic crisis that affected the DPRK in the 1990s after the illegal dissolution of the USSR. This was a very difficult time for the people, and most of the anti-communist “defectors” today were kids around that time. Some pro-DPRK citizens also left during that time with the plans to come back. If I remember correctly, many went to China but were later kidnapped by the South Korean government. Some went to South Korea, and some were made prisoners of war and are still not allowed to go back home to the DPRK after all these years.The anti-communist “defectors” are a tiny minority of these prisoners/emigrants.

North Korea is itself a misnomer, the country’s name is the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea; North Korea is not an official name but one given to differentiate it and legitimise the occupied part of the peninsula, the Republic of Korea. But there is only one Korea, and there would have only been one (The People’s Republic of Korea) had the US not intervened.

There’s only one correct line, and it’s support for the DPRK’s sovereignty over the whole of the Korean peninsula. I get why you suggest that we need to end the sanctions and let Korean communists deal with their affairs, but there’s the imperialist camp and the humanist camp in this issue. The imperialist camp wants an anti-communist Korea at any cost, they will genocide the whole of the DPRK if they have to. Saying “let them take care of their own matters” is not supportive of the DPRK’s struggle for unification.

I know I’m beating a dead horse but I find it funny that beehaw claims they want to “help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.”. Meanwhile all marginalised minorities flock to communism and lemmygrad and their admin team is white person, white person, and white person.
