I defederated my instance.
I thought lemmy.ca's justification pretty compelling. They are self-avowedly more interested in trolling, harassing other users, and crapping on other people’s politics. They don’t even make a secret of it.
It’s unfortunate because they do seem really queer and queer-friendly. But they seem to be totally uninterested in doing anything other than dunking HARD on anyone to the right of Lenin. So… passing on seeing that, personally.
Yes, seems reasonable to me!
Lol 2 of 4 points was malding at PPBs
This thread is a pretty good example.
Could you link me to the comment that meets this criteria
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/2007951 Here you go, and Sammer510 made quite a few comments in this thread.
They were making fun of someone who was making fun of pronouns. i really don't see how you could take issue with that
??? How is that what you're claiming?
If you can't see a tree in a forest, I can't help you. It's everywhere in this thread. We've got support for modern-day Russia, in this thread from hexbear users. There's no point where it's left to rest.
Well, the other person was having a hard time finding a single comment that meets this description. Since it is so easy Im guessing it shouldn't be a problem for you?
Earlier in the thread:
Support Stalin: which country liberated Auschwitz? What country wrested control of Berlin from the Nazis? The Soviet Union. "Every Party member must raise his revolutionary qualities in every respect to the same level as those of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin" -Nelson Mandela
Support modern Russia- Russia opposes NATO, and anything that hurts the west is good. Also the current Ukraine government was founded by guys who want to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen." Anyone killing Nazis is good, and Russia is currently doing so. "Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity" -Aleksy Danilov, head of Ukraine national security and defense council.
They're the kind of far-left types the rest of us should avoid being associated with because they ruin all of our image in the long run.
oh no, not your image
Yeah, some of us would like to be able to actually win elections and start changing things rather than fantasising about a glorious revolution that isn't coming.
From where I'm standing it doesn't matter if you win or lose elections, the shitheads you elect will just spend all the money they can on war, make up endless excuses for why they can't actually fix problems and allow reactionaries to run hog wild in the meantime.
I mean good luck with that- even if we didn't exist, conservatives of all stripes will slander you as a disgusting communist. They do that to democrats in the US even. Worrying about image should be the least of anyone's concern
Two years before the Russian revolution, Lenin said that he would never see the revolution in his lifetime. A good future may be closer then you think.
inshallah
Wait, really? I need to see a source for that because big if true.
It seems i was wrong. He did not say this two years prior, but in fact in january of 1917. Lenin wrote:
"We of the older generation may not live to see the decisive battles of this coming revolution. But I can, I believe, express the confident hope that the youth which is working so splendidly in the socialist movement of Switzerland, and of the whole world, will be fortunate enough not only to fight, but also to win, in the coming proletarian revolution."

He definitely said at some point in the 20th century that he wouldn't live to see the revolution. I would have guessed 1914, but it's hard to search for.
we've got to vote harder
Like any of the elections you dipshits win actually change anything lmfao
Winning elections doesn't matter if the only choices are the ones the two corporate parties allow.
Look the only thing holding US politics back was blahaj.zone being federated with hexbear, if they just defederate then somehow the GOP will stop attacking trans people because then their image will be better mkay sweaty?
😤
Nah get the hell out of here with that noise. Respectability politics is a dumb fucking game. The amount of times a cis queer person has told me as a trans person that I’m making the queer movement look bad is too high to count.
Fine, continue to act like a bunch of ten year olds hopped up on E numbers and a copy of Das Kapital and see how far that gets you in this world.
idk, I think neoliberals on lemmy often (not always) lean this way as well with the "bot" this and "tankie" that and "genocidal" the other thing. Surely, even if you agree with one or all of those, you can see how it fits "crapping on other people's politics"?
