We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general (lemm.ee)

TO THE ADMINS: Read this thread and give me one good reason why federating with toxic, propaganda spreading tankie loons is a good idea.

No one wants those fucks, or the alt right dipshits for that matter, around, and they're spreading blatant lies, yet I see they are here. Does lemm.ee only care about boosting its numbers and is willing to sink to new lows to do it, I wonder? 🤔

I've personally found the hexbear locals to be really inclusive, and pleasant to interact with. I couldn't say I agree with the totality of their political outlooks, but I've not found them particularly unreasonable.

What about the Lemmygrad retards trying to claim Tianamen Square didn't happen? How the hell is that reasonable or okay?

probably best not to call people retards if you want to stay on the high road

Probably best to not try to scrape the bottom of the barrel when defending authoritarians pushing lies and propaganda. Like, if you're going to go for a red herring, you could at least tone police me; that would at least be more plausible and less petty. Step your game up

i happen to agree with your point, however i don’t think it’s kind to people with a disability to use that disability as an insult

I don't have an opinion, because I really haven't interacted with the Lemmygrad folks. Their instance culture just isn't really my bag, so I don't find much opportunity or common ground to engage.

EDIT: Never mind, this guy is masquerading as a neutral party to defend tankies, just ignore him.

Yeah, they're a little too "dank" for me. So, I just leave distance and keep scrolling.
