blahaj has fallen (hexbear.net)

comrades, the Protracted People’s War against the liberal hive and haven for bigoted chasers that is lemmy.blahaj.zone has succeeded! blahaj has fallen! or at least fallen off.

really tho, i just checked in on their site to see how its been since defederating. that was only 3 days ago btw! it feels like its been a week lol. their daily user count has fallen by over 1/6th since defed. and while this could be attributed to less traffic during the work week, the posting situation there is abysmal. in the past 24 hours, 78% of the posts came from c/196, making it difficult to tell that their instance is a dedicated queer space. and while they have gained ~30 users since defederation, we have gained over 200! its pretty much just 196 at this point.

while its sad to see a queer space fail, i suspect its for the best. i hope all the anti-capitalists there find their way here, as many already have. especially the trans folk there, its genuinely sad that they feel like they have to accept chasers in their space in order to have a community that accepts them. that is the difference between liberal tolerance and socialist liberation— tolerance allows for objectification and marginalization, while liberation demands dignity and equality. may all the blahaj gender diverse who oppose capitalism find their way to c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns!!!!

stuff like this are the best “dunks” the 196 reactionaries can manage: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2042262

pathetic

this meme is weak and displays their ignorance. you cant have a conversation with ppl like the OP. they will just bombard you with thought-terminating cliches. gulag gulag! Uyghurs! hologramodor! no food! purges! NKVD KGB Stasi! free Tibet so they can have their wholesome slaves again! Taiwan is a legitimate state!

countless hexbears would be willing and even enthusiastic to have a good faith, respectful, nuanced discussion about these topics with them. but they dont want that. they want to roll in their own shit like a pig with massive balls. the good ones will find us, or other socialist spaces. but for such a small instance, there are too many scratched and soon-to-be scratched liberals for us to do any good with federation.

Ah yeah that makes sense and lines up with everything I've seen and heard so far. I imagine maintaining the culture of an online space is extremely difficult.

never forget, our culture here has been forged in blood. how many mods and admins have left or at least stepped back from contributing publicly? we even have a tagline from (i think) TC69 that's something to the effect of "YOU SHOULD NOT MODERATE AN ONLINE SPACE UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD TO DROWN YOURSELF IN BOOZE AND WEED"

i don't doubt it's too much for a single person to keep in line. the thing is, ada could have found people willing to help her moderate. i bet you at least some of the trans people here who were pulling for federation with blahaj to work out would have been happy to pitch in. shrug-outta-hecks

yall are dramatic, we didnt kill and eat the admins.... last i checked

You have it all wrong. When someone quits being an admin, the others devour them and absorb their strength
