Yeah I'm glad we fixed the mistake of federating with libs. Comrades were getting harassing DM'ing because liberals don't care about purging fascists in their communities. Sure it's fun to dunk on them because it's low hanging fruit, but vulnerable people post here and I'd rather they feel comfortable than invite in cretins.

Turns out all their talk about "red-brown alliances" was projection the whole time
To think i ever doubted Stalin about social democracy objectively being the left wing of fascism.

It’s heartening to learn even in life he was at peace with the posthumous attacks he knew would come and eventually go.
what a fucking Chad
Death to America
the red in red brown was the twitter rose all along
Wait, did I miss something? I'm from one of those "lib instances" and I'm not seeing anything about defederation.
We had a lot of problems with sh.itjustwor.ks I think it was
I don't see why you put it in scare quotes when the owner of your site says a hammer and sickle is comparable to a swastika
You talking about this posts?
I did not want to take further actions in that thread in general (for archival purposes), but I did take one action, which in retrospect was a mistake: I removed a comment which contained the hammer and sickle symbol. I ignorantly associated this symbolism with Kremlin propaganda, and the atrocities my own people suffered at the hands of the soviet union during the previous century. Many users (including hexbear users) correctly (and politely) pointed out to me in DMs that the symbol has a much broader use than just as the symbol of the USSR, and people elsewhere in the world may not associate it with the USSR at all. I am grateful for users who pointed this out to me without resorting to personal attacks.
I get hes not a leftist. But I feel like he gets a "one of the good ones" stickers.
It was an earlier comment than that
Wait, for real? Thats a pretty dumb thing to say. I've seen him be fairly supportive of hexbear.
I saw a comment of him complaining about some Hexbear users calling him subhuman, which got unanimous support that its not okay. But even after that he told users to block individuals and he will not be defederating.
He's not a monster or anything, just a liberal, which is all I was intending to say
yeah everything has settled in is mostly what I mean, the libs that are still federated know they'll get got by communists if they spout uncritical bullshit, and everyone else is left adjacent so things have mostly calmed
Your time is coming, just you wait
what happened? Ive been off the intertubes for the last week.
you missed an internet decade
Every week is an Internet decade
Lenin never anticipated the internet 😭
There are posts where decades happen
:wise-man-shaking-head:
eliminating fascism from the instance is exactly like fascism... these tankie's will never learn........
no more half measures walter
Got some overt reactionaries in the Abaya ban thread, though, including from hexbear
That thread really brought out all the ”I'm not racist because Islam isn't a race” assholes who mentally never moved past 2005 edgy NeW AtHeIsM, huh.
weal
the less of these shithead libs, the better
I'm coming down with a bit of fighting withdrawal, not used to the peace and quiet, but this is for the best.
Feeling like that Pablo Escobar meme if he was an Ork
