sorry but your form of extremism wouldve resulted in the same thing.

if that is true, why are so many instances blocking yours and 2 others? your no better than your conservative counterparts. you cant escape liking authorianism and liking communism, it doesnt work like that.

mmmmm this comment is prolly one of my faves. tagline worthy

The reason many instances block ours is that the majority of Lemmy users are reactionary liberals from imperialist countries that really, really hate seeing anything that counters their narrative about being enlightened progressives. A huge number of you probably have made a myth in your mind that compared to your older, more culturally conservative relatives, you're basically as compassionate and left wing as it gets. Then you interact with communists who point out how imperialism works and how you benefit from it, as well as the action that is necessary to end that exploitaiton, and it shakes you to your core that you aren't as left as it gets. No, I can't be out of touch, it's the hundreds of millions of leftists in the imperial periphery who are wrong

To make it exceedingly clear: here you are, accusing us of not being able to escape liking authoritarianism, but your own liberal positions are currently either passively accepting or actively encouraging a genocide of 2 million people in Gaza. You might say you are opposed to that, but in practice you keep condemning the radical groups that actually are doing what's necessary to end the genocide (i.e. the Resistance in the actual countries aftected and orgs like Palestine Action and the PSL in the West) because they're "authoritarian leftists" or even worse, antisemites.

Actually my form of extremism is literally "indigenous people get sovereignty over their own land" so no, try again.

I did my part. Time for my retro gaming lemmy era already bought all the stuff I need to put freehdboot on my ps2.

It was great while it lasted, and I thank those that ran it. A breath of fresh air after initially being on an instance that decided to nanny its users by defederating from instances for no good reasons.

I have a backup account on sdf.org, so I'm now using that as my main instance. Thanks to those who run it.

Apparently db0 and lemmy.zip are two such instances that broadly federate

Ooh good to onow

Yeah but like who's gonna get mad if there's no corporate to report to. There's no ad space to sell. So you are spending energy moderation to what end?

I'm just trying to understand the setup I guess. I just assumed people started lemmy to get away from over moderation on reddit. I been here since the api crackdown on reddit.

Lemm.ee was my home instance. I will miss it dearly. I wasn't as active as I probably could have been, but I'm still sad.

unless its coming from .ml, hexbear or lemmygrad. the comments cant get annoying.

Rich coming from a .worder

what do i do now i only use jerboa how do i change instances

We arguably ARE the most lgbtq instance that isn't specifically about lgbtqia+ (it is about radical leftism which is inseperable from lgbtqia+ rights and liberation). And nah, my reaction is 100% appropriate here. What's more, hexbear is known for taking long and difficult looks into the mirror, to a degree liberal instances could never hope to do. Our resolute dedication to rooting out and correcting misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and even just plain unrecognized privilege is well known and easily confirmed by looking at our history. Whatever lgbtq instance defederated from us was not because of homophobia or transphobia or anything like that, but rather their unwillingness to address the chasers infesting their community and our subsequent unwillingness to tolerate that kind of behavior and keep it from eroding the safe space that has been built through hard work and the dedication especially of the many trans people that make up our community. Trying to paint hexbear as anything other than in complete full support of lgbtqia+, which the vast majority of us are, is absurd and insulting.

Tell me about it. My JSON file with all my settings won't upload, so l have to start over, day one.

Is blocking an instance the same as defederation? I found lemmy.today the other day and they don't block any instances.

lemmy.today doesn't block any instances. But db0 is good too, I've been happy with it.

Are you saying lemmy.today is no good?

I think so but https://lemmy.today/instances doesn't have any blocked instances at all, which can't be good lol
