Lemm.ee didn't defederate, is hitting the bong
prime spot to watch all the drama unfold 😎
I can block instances. It takes like 2 seconds
Maybe your app lets you, but there's nothing in Lemmy that let's a user so this
I've blocked lemmygrad on connect, but their posts still show up on this community.
Which app lets you block instances?
Connect for Lemmy lets you block instances.
I have heard a lot about the other apps, but this is the first time someone is using the same app as me! Connect is fuckin great!
Fuh sho
Why would they defed?
That's where I am too! Right there with you.
Never change, Fediverse.
And then there's me, who's just self hosting precisely to follow whomever the heck I want to instead of who the admins haven't gotten angry with yet
To be fair, I've seen a few quality memes from the hexies, so I've just been scrolling past the dumb stuff
I've seen more people whining about HexBear than I've seen posts by HexBear. As far as the "tankie" stuff goes, it really seems like people think tankies are anyone who's looked at the Communist Manifesto. They couldn't tell you anything about where the term comes from.
Moral of the story is to create your account on a smaller instance. It took me a few times to learn that lesson.
Ootl what's going on?
Neolibs pissed at the commies for coming into their communities and talking shit, commies pissed at neolibs for calling out their troll behavior in newly federated instances and doubling down on it. Mix it with new fed users who are still not quite sure how federation works or what it means, sprinkle in different blocking abilities depending on app of choice and you've got Tuesday in the fediverse.
Meanwhile they're all missing amazing content and niche communities like the raccoon community and the diy home automation project community, to name a few of my favorites.
Generalizing anyone who argues against tankies as neolibs isn't portraying the situation correctly.
One part of the entertainment on this website is seeing the bizarre way political field is viewed.
True, but .world IS kinda developing into the r/politics of Lemmy with regards to hordes of neoliberals taking over and deciding what is and isn't acceptable.
Sincerely, leftist who can't stand the politics of neoliberals OR tankies
Tankies?
tankies are authoritarian bootlickers, meaning they support the Russian invasion, deny the Tiananmen Square massacre and the Uyghur genocide, etc
Unapologetic, aggressive supporters of Leninist/Stalinist or Maoist/Xiist authoritarian communist state policy. They got the name for support of responding to people deviating from the party line by rolling in with tanks.
Which community is the diy home automation community? Is it home assistant?
No, that cannot be. I was told with great conviction that niche content was nonexistent here in the Verse.
Jokes aside, great summary and thanks for the community plugs! I just recently learned about !soilscience@slrpnk.net
can you link to some of your favorites?
where's the raccoon community?
Am I a neolib or a commie?
Capitalism: yes or no?
Honestly I'm here mostly for the memes.
Someone get me up to speed on this drama
