Fuck you reddit 2.0, took you long enough. Thanks though, we'll stop seeing your crap posters pollute our comment section from now on.

90% of people we ban come from world. Very funny that they said they saw a rise of hate speech from our instance though considering the worlders we ban are fucking genocidal maniacs and fascists. You can check the modlog (it's unfortunately federated), we are one of the tamest instances when it comes to banning people and deleting comments/posts.

For any worlder that was based and liked interacting with lemmygrad (you will notice we did not ban good faith participants), I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles πŸ™ƒ

Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ

On top of that, for the worlders finally breathing free again now that the scary tankies are away, you think the USSR wasn't communist or whatever. You base that on whatever you've been taught in school. We've read things. We've actually gone beyond whatever our high school teachers said and looked into the USSR for ourselves. If you're not cowards you will debate us about communism and "totalitarian" regimes, we'll wipe the floor with you. Bet you don't even know where the world totalitarian comes from or who coined it without looking it up.

And we retain our perfect track record of not blocking real instances while you further isolate yourselves from anything that might cause you some amount of discomfort. Really good democracy you got going there where wannabe tech bros instance admins decide for you what you're allowed to see, must be those liberal values I hear so much about.

I was really grateful when blahaj-zone left. It hurt me to the bottom of my soul that they had made such a mockery of blahaj. 196 was the first and only community I blocked.

The thought invective that forms in my head for whenever I see blahaj now is "oh, the consumer queers who think consumption is morality is praxis." And then just like the momentary mental blips that occur due to .works and .world, I go on about my day because settlers don't deserve to rent out that kind of brain space unless they're going to actually pay me.

It's just more of a symbol for our kind, and it's a harmless adorable plushie. Even Hitler had a dog who loved him. I wouldn't deny a blahaj even to Caitlyn Jenner.

You are a far kinder and compassionate person than I am; there's quite a few people who should be kinfolk orientation-wise that I absolutely would not piss on if they were on fire. Maybe my heart has gone hard.

sorry, caitlyn Jenner and Blair White get no blΓ₯haj. they know what they did

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feed them both to an irl blahaj.

wait hol up does blahaj literally just mean shark

this whole time i thought it was just a quirky ikea name(where the 'consumer' slander comes from); does this mean it's finally my time to hand in my queer card and go back to screwing cishets and hating the ones i actually get into a relationship with

Apparently it's Swedish for "blue shark".

Sorry, I see cishets in your future.

Whats bad about blahaj zone?

Honest question, get me up to date,

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're an aggressively pro-NATO, pro-US, anti-communist instance. They would ban anyone left of Obama, and had some very questionable users. Our friends at Hexbear interacted with them much more than we did and there was a significant amount of drama. You can read stories in that post. They defederated from us pretty much immediately.

THATS WHY I COULDN'T SUB TO LEMMYGRAD STUFF.

I am sooo glad I now have an account on a better instance <333 Thanks for the explanation.

Edit: Why is the post you link from lemmy.world but also not from lemmy.world I am confused.
