    Lemmy.ml admin who banned him here: Not sure I have that much to add to the convo, but I will say I’m really disappointed at this. Still think the ban should have been upheld but the admin that reversed it outranks me so my hands are kinda tied.

    This is fucking ridiculous.

    I’m sorry but how can you be that immature and stupid?

    “Oh they should be allowed to recruit bigots and engage provided they don’t say anything that breaks the rules” - morons in that thread

    Infantile stupidity.

      AgreeableLandscapes even gave a very clear argument (with precedent) for why the ban was justified. But I guess nutomic is in charge of liberalization

      Edit: There’s even a convo on wolfballs where nutomic tells a maga chud that their ban was reversed, they shouldn’t get banned again, and if they do nutomic will have another “talk” with the admins and get it reversed. What the fuck is going on over there

        Nutomic is clearly a moron, that much is sure. Whether they are crypto-fascist or just a sympathetic to them to try and grow lemmy is meaningless when they are now aiding in the growth or a far right instance.

        Pathetic behaviour.

        I thought you and @TheConquestOfBed@lemmy.ml both made more than clear the position only to have someone accuse conquest of being a pedophile which I noticed wasn’t taken down.

        Clearly the line on lemmy is if you aren’t asking for literal violence against someone it’s fine to enable and encourage the vile rhetoric designed to dehumanise minorities leading to violence. Fucking peak lemmy.

        Don’t even get me started on comfy and there “it’s disturbingly racist to say you can’t be racist to white people” nonsense ideology. That entire instance is so high on their own ego, self importance and ignorance they couldn’t find their nose in the dark if I broke it for them.

            Apologies didn’t even think to, too angry ngl after reading the brain melting levels of stupidity in that thread.

            I think it’s time for a c/shitlemmysays board because there’s too much fuckery going on not to record and fool on it.

                I don’t know if I want to be the mod for such a provocative board especially if the common consensus is that its not worth it.

                If we defederate then sure but there’s a lot of compelling arguments for remaining federated and I don’t want to obfuscate that by pushing buttons that are best left unpushed for now. We will see.

        I saw that and had to close the thread.

        Rules for thee and not for me on lemmy. Oh what’s that? A ML with lived experience is telling you how homophobia and transpjobia works? As a cis liberal chauvinist let me debate you and your rights and experience.

        Oh someone’s literally called a member of the lgbtq+ community a pedophile parroting the same dangerous rhetoric that led to violence and killings of lgbtq+ by right wing reactionaries? They sleep.

        Remember when I got banned for calling someone a dickhead? Yet calling someone a pedophile given the context above is apparently okay according to the world’s most centrist and milquetoast dickhead.

          No, that’s not accurate.

          What do we call a person who:

          • defends fascists with all their might
          • closes their eyes when they see racism, transphobia, homophobia, etcetera etcetera
          • constantly denies that the preceding point occurs, even when presented with evidence
          • bends the rules to defend fascists, and punish anti-fascists
          • tells fascists that they will “have a talk” with the admins who took out the trash

          I think it starts with ‘F’ and ends with ‘T’

      Leftism is when you enable the growth of right wing fascist instances because of your enlightened centrism (fasicst sympathies) and the more fash you funnel to wolfballs the more leftist you are. - lemmy

          Hmmm, I dunno, lemmy.ml is one of the best vectors for finding really cool people and getting them to come here and chat with us. But it really seems like billing lemmy.ml as “leftist” is pretty misleading.

          Easy peasy to just stick to looking at the lemmygrad stuff and ignore this nonsense, but the problem then is that those places get pulled farther and farther right. We’re already considered “extreme” to a lot of people, if lemmy.ml pulls farther right they’ll be the ones defederating from us

          Edit to add: more and more I agree with comrade Awoo that hexbear’s reintegration will be crucial to keeping things actually leftist

  • I’ve previously been against defederating, but seeing one of the main lemmy.ml admins defend fascists and actively promote a fascist instance has made me change my mind.

    I genuinely don’t think there’s any way to salvage that instance.

      I have one argument personally against de-federating, and that is we still dominate the all page, and if we can spread that message. I don’t think we can convert many people, but I do think that we can get some who stumble across Marxism Leninism, and that is something I think is valuable.

        Yeah, if you look at lemmy main page and set it to all, then most threads and nearly all active ones come from lemmygrad. And from those not from lemmygrad most are posted by Yogthos. Lemmy literally have one guy providing 75% of content.

    It’s bullshit to ignore a mask off fascist because he’s “nice here” but even if you were gross enough to ignore people like that because you don’t “police off-site activity” (which like, so what, Gavin McInnes can log on and as long as he’s nice he gets to stay???) how do you ignore that he actively plugs and recruits for wolfballs on lemmy.ml??

    Like everytime someone says some bigoted shit and people get mad, there he is in the comments, telling them they have a safe space on wolfballs. How is it Leftist to let your platform be a source of recruitment for the fascist echo chamber?

    I think that one of the main goals of lemmy is getting people out of the claws of corporate, cia social media like reddit.

    The less people on reddit, the weaker the usa mind control apparatus gets.

    However, for this to work, there need to be instances for those kinds of people that are on reddit.

    Most of them won’t know how federation works and will land on lemmy.ml. If they can’t be sent to an instance that fits them, they would probably go back to reddit, or something similar, which would go against that goal.

    That said, the ban reason makes total sense.

      The way I see it, if someone doesn’t “fit into” lemmy.ml, you can always say, “hey, go to join-lemmy.org and find an instance better suited to you or start your own” And they will find wolfballs. It’s right there on that site, it’s not hidden or anything.

      But lemmy.ml itself is an instance that claims leftism and a ban on bigotry. And plugging wolfballs in the comments violates that. Like, if I made a racist blog about phrenology and then posted it in the lemmy.ml comments and said it was a super cool and inviting safe space for everyone…do I get banned? I never put the phrenology stuff in the lemmy.ml comments, so according to the line of thinking of the ban reversal, I would be cool to keep advertising away. And what it leads to is, you can say whatever rule violating stuff you want as long as you link to it in the comments and don’t type it in directly

      You don’t even have to look at it from a bash the fash perspective (though you should). Just looking at it from a purely debatebro “follow the rules” perspective, that account should be banned.

      The less people on reddit, the weaker the usa mind control apparatus gets.

      Poor chance when libs swarm it and bring the mind control apparatus with them.
