On Blahaj and 196 (hexbear.net)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Due to multiple factors, such as unaddressed ableist removals from the /c/196 moderators, defense of chasers, no-quarter rules regarding our users, leakage of good-faith DMs from our admin team, and a general lack of initiative to punish these behaviors, we have come to the conclusion that the 196 community on lemmy.blahaj.zone has made the fediverse an unsafe space for our queer, disabled, neurodivergent, non-western, and other marginalized comrades on this forum, and we will be defederating from lemmy.blahaj.zone until we can be confident that this will not continue to be an issue.

We have attempted to make good-faith parley with both the instance admin and the comm moderators, but we've reached a point which we feel that until these behaviors are addressed by instance administration, we can no longer continue to federate in good-faith while our users are being actively invalidated by a small-but-vocal portion of the forum. Once we are confident that these behaviors have ceased and are unlikely to continue, we are more-than-happy to refederate in the name of queer solidarity.

Thanks for bearing with us :07:

anti-tankie

I’ve been trying to push the term McCarthyist or neo-McCarthyist more, since that’s exactly what they are and the association with the anti communism of that dark period has a well deserved stigma attached, even among libs.

I was just saying that constantly being accused as being Russian/Chinese troll farmers is exactly McCarthyism.

Literally being accused of being foreign agents. Incredibly delusional.

In reality, it's WAY more likely that these libs are Langley bots or state funded propagandists, but we don't accuse them of that because I think the more obvious fact is that they are just people who actually believe stupid shit.
