I'm astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.

Apparently you're allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says "Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?" and they have to shut it down immediately.

Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.

Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they're justified in slinging accusations about "muh authoritarianism" smh.

This is where it gets weird.

I'm using Connect on android and my instance is Lemmygrad.ml (which is what the app says I'm connecting via when I go to the thread) but when I copy-paste a permalink to the top-level comment my browser directs me to an instance that is discuss.tchncs.de (?) and my comment isn't shown nor is there a message stating that it's been removed.

When I access the comment thread via my browser and manually navigating to it from lemmy.ml, I can see my comment in the thread (plus a lot more comments) and the vote counts for comments that span both of these instances are significantly different. The same goes for navigating to lemmygrad.ml.

    Okay. If discuss.tchncs.de has defederated from Lemmygrad, viewing the thread on their instance won't show any Lemmygrad responses. The fact that you get sent to the tchncs.de page is strange. The permalink (the rainbow web button) usually(?) takes you to the instance on which the post/comment was made. Here, that should be lemmy.ml. I could understand if the OP was using a tchncs.de account, but they're posting from kbin.social. I would have thought that the permalink would take you to the post on lemmy.ml but visible on kbin.social if it didn't take you directly to lemmy.ml.

    Is Connect a browser or a lemmy app? If it's an app created by a tchncs.de user, maybe the default permalink is through that instance?

    Either way, it doesn't look like it's been removed. It looks like you're being redirected to an instance that defederated from LG. If tchncs.de is federated with LG, that's even stranger and I'm all out of ideas.

    Yeah I've noticed similar weird things too. Apparently federation is still in it's infancy and we're not very knowledgeable either I guess
