Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Enjoy the expertly designed Stalin flag thing. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We’re also testing a weekly news thread specifically for discussing world news.
We have a Matrix homeserver at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

Looks like we can add “blahaj zone” instance to the likes of sopuli and beehaw. As in “gits, who come here and comment with lib takes”
The admin of that instance has been friendly with lemmygrad users, but a lot of the new users on that instance are dronies.
So does it look like the rest of Blajah zone is safe and just 196 went ultra-reactionary? The mod on there has gone super anti-“tankie” the last 3 days and I had originally had homes for that group, but it seems like all of it is going downhill… I hope that the admin keep us federated at least
I don’t know for certain, but I noticed most of the dronies throwing a fit were in 196. We never had problems with that instance before that.
Unequivocally racist too.
Perpetuating the totally not chauvinist sentiment of hurr durr china steals my intellectual property and doesn’t innovate and gets like 20+ upvotes.
To be expected considering just how bad r/196 was getting. I think despite being what seemed 50% trans (part of the reason I as a transperson was on there) the community flocked to constantly defend vaush to the point I started realizing the community was universally starting to either have r/vaush overlap or r/tankjerk overlap very commonly.
After all the “kick tankies out of r/196” did come up months back on r/196. The rapidly growing amount of Vaushites(muh anarcho-natoism) and fascists blatantly joining without protest started positioning the well so bad I started avoiding it. They’re going down the slippery sloop so fast I expect them to defederate by July, shame as it could of brought back what r/196 used to be before the brainrot.
they have said anyone from Lemmygrad is on their last chance already, no warning, no comment removal just a ban. I feel like it is overly harsh, but I also knew nothing about the reddit comunity it came from
Its reddit community used to be a more accepting leftist space with a lot of queer humor. But over time the Libs slowly got worse. I remember when I first joined it felt like it was run by actual leftists (mostly baby leftists and anarkiddies but still) The first “kick tankies of of r/196” wasn’t as well received as this one…
So when Ukraine war broke out they got… So much worse. I have no hope for the instance tbh and am glad they banned me, if only for 3 days as apparently I’m only a borderline tankie lmao. We have our own 196 which is much better tbh.
