Like it's only so long until a user there posts a dumbass "Kick Tankies out of Lemmy" meme to try and start shit to get us defedded and hexbears take the bait immediately and pile on to tell them what a dumbass they are.
Like as dumb as the "death to NATO" being compared to "death to the people of NATO" stuff was, blahaj and hexbear are the largest queer instances and I quite like taking part in it and their trans communities, idk it's kinda nice to interact with people who don't have the same kind of hexbear brainrot where I see the words "pumpkin spice", "Maoist cult", "Soyfacing PMC radlib" or "rock stacking" and immediately start to go :sus: mentally, it feels refreshing to be able to talk to an incredibly queer positive community that doesn't have the same kind of internet poisoning as all of us. And it seems kind of assholy that some of the users here just don't give a shit and want to post and dunk until we get defedded by every instance, this isn't like lemmy.ca where they were all dicks that none of us liked anyway and were complaining about us doing hate speech against fucking landlords or lemm.ee where almost every time time a user from there pops their head into our threads here they say something racist or transphobic. iirc blahaj.zone was actually the second most requested instance to federate with in the pre federation discussions due to how good of a queer space it was.
Like their first defed thread was a complete embarrassment because there were a load of users there that actually had positive opinions towards us and then they saw the shitshow happening once from the post reaching active and changed to be way against us which tbh, fair enough.
Edit:
statements from the head mod Ada:
their banner image literally says "fuck tankies"
Tankie segz. 🫣
as cringe as it is that blahaj.zone hosts an explicitly anti-communist comm for a community half full of chasers, blahaj zone as a whole is pretty cool and i wouldn't like to see it defedded
fair, though if it does get defedded, you can always make an account over there, i had to for some furry instances that were deemed too risque to be federated
Yeah ig, I'd just rather be able to spend time in both at the same time rather than just one at a time
yeah, it is kinda nice to not have to switch accounts
and rightly so.
fuck authoritarianism, fuck hierarchies and fuck commie cops
no gods, no masters. the only way forward.
Ok, so define it first. Bonus points if you don’t consult the state department.
The UK is currently run by an unelected, unopposed dictatorial tyrant with no mandate. Just something to think about while you try and invent a definition.
How do you intend to organise?
I don’t see the People’s Police running protestors over or shooting minorities on the regular.
You're posting in a communist instance mf, and you're not in either blahaj or hexbear so I don't really give a shit about your opinion on the matter
Despite the ML dominance we're technically non-sectarian.
MY WAY IS THE ONLY WAY
^ THIS IS NOT AN AUTHORITARIAN STATEMENT
If not for this being Hexbear I would transform into my Super Sectarian form.
Very helpful, thank you for your contribution to this extremely productive ongoing dialogue.
right, so let’s go build the material conditions for this to be possible!
let’s call this process hmmm socialism, or something
I didn't see the original comment, but I agree with general anarchist sentiment and even I know that we won't be able to jump right to it from capitalism. I view it more as an ideal longterm goal, and we are of course going to need to have a stable socialist society first to get there. That's why any communist willing to work with anarchists is a comrade of mine!
😠
