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 🙃
Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
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.
They were still banned in the first place which is my point.
I would argue that your post is openly telling those who disagree to explain themselves since you seem to be talking directly to those people. And when they do they’re met with whatever bullshit tankies decide to respond with.
As you claim you do? Oh wait I forgot all you guys do is regurgitate what Master Putin wants you to think.
If you start in bad faith like so many other “unique” individuals before you, why should we even give you the time of day? We have nothing to prove to you. Like I don’t give a shit what some rando on the internet thinks about lemmygrad to the point that I would feel like defending our decisions to them; the reason I am answering your questions is because I figure there must be some middle ground and good faith we can establish.
If you choose to squander the good faith we assume of you then that’s your choice, but don’t say bullshit like “The mods here get too offended and ban people trying to have a discussion” when what you’re doing is not having a discussion but proselytizing and impotently expelling your rage caused by whatever slight you feel we’ve committed against you. You’re like the tenth person this month I speak to on Lemmy who pretends to be an enlightened centrist and as soon as they’re backed into a corner, they start lashing out with bullshit. You’re not special, you’re not unique, you’re not doing anything new. It is frankly a testament to our patience that I and others still engage with your type of character. Would you prefer we said “no, not going to engage with obvious clowns” and banned you on sight? Would that vindicate you, in some weird masochist way?
I can claim that because unlike you I’ve actually read books about the USSR that cite their sources.
