im so proud of you for this one, at least I know you’re not in deep enough that you repeat the “LG and Hexbear are all chinese bots!?!?” cliche.
Still it hurts, can’t you stroke our egos more like normal liberals do by pretending we’re important enough for China to pay attention to us like that 
You can’t trust techbros to do anything it seems. Honestly, the scariest thing about this is that no mod/admin has actually stepped up to do damage control besides thread lock and wipe comments. Even Blahaj.zone managed to even get an admin response.
Yeahh, at least Ada at blahaj (the head admin) seemed nice and wanted us all to get along. I was just arguing with one of the shitjustworks admins about some stupid hostile nonsense. Not only are they not doing damage control, they’re actively making it more toxic.
??? Blahaj ban all “tankies” on sight, if that’s “getting along” then i don’t want to see how hostility looks (in an odd chance rabies might be contracted through internet).
If I understand the situation correctly… the issues (besides their userbase) were mainly with the moderator of their 196 community who was on that anti-tankie grindset. There was dialogue between Hexbear’s admins and Ada about smoothing over the issues that developed but she wouldn’t do anything about the 196 mod who was actively stirring up stuff or anything about the users saying horrible things to some of our users. So that’s why we defederated.
How did lemmygrad end up defederated btw?
Ada took offense to “Death to NATO.” When she was called out on it, she doubled down and said it’s wrong to call for death to the “People of NATO.” Hilarity followed and she got dunked on.
Moreover, 196 is such a shithole vaushite comm, if you block 196 in blahaj.zone it suddenly becomes bearable and nice.
Ohh right hehehe, I forgot about that part
Yeahh, 100 percent
From what i understand, blahaj defederated by that 196 jerk, things were pretty cool, but he appeared and suddenly entire blahaj was on full crusade against us, also it looked he dragged down tons of his cronies or sockpuppets there to make a crowd since their threads were full of “fuck tankies” spam. Few days later they defederated so i assumed that dork have full control since everything went from 0 to 100 really fast exactly along his line.
Ohh I see. That sucks :(
Maybe I’m naive and have an over-conciliatory attitude but I think things could’ve worked out for both our instances if it weren’t for that 196 mod and a few other bad actors. Maybe in the future.
she herself is a bad faith actor, I made a post about this on cth when hexbear defederated: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1373636 https://hexbear.net/post/372543
Yeah, you have some good points in there. I must have missed some of the drama.
I am so tired of the “anti-tankie” western left bullshit.
we all are comrade
