    What is bahaj? I think I've seen some of them post in here before but don't know what their instance is about.

      Anti-communist Vaushite chaser instance spun off from r/196. We were federated with them for a minute until we realized how intolerable they were.

        Well, it started as a small kind of libby trans friendly space on Lemmy for just a handful of users that was a spin off of the blahaj.zone misskey instance on fedi (mastodon basically) but because of the Reddit stuff it swelled in size and then r/196 asked if they could migrate to it and suddenly the entire culture of the instance was up ended by chaser vaushites.

        also it's become the 1 token trans friend for all the Lemmitors that agrees with their shitty opinions because they can't bear to acknowledge that the instance with the most trans users on is hexbear

          They cope and seath sooo fucking much about it, the number of these losers I have seen implying that the trans on hexbear and lemmigrad were fake in some way, troll or bots.

              The gender police is here to beat you until you give up your pronouns

              Haha I remember being a lib and feeling that pit in my stomach when I'd see a communist viewpoint, because they always seemed to know more. Like that quote goes, it's the fear that in order to understand it, your whole life would have to change. It's no wonder we were taught to regard communist theory as some kind of cognitohazard or moral contagion: the liberal haze of contradictory propaganda, managed by a focusing and refocusing of emphasis and lenses, must hide it's solid core, because it's solid core is just white supremacy. So what you're left with is this mostly, by mass, this hypocritical ball of nonsense gas, and it's the easiest thing in the world for a materialist explanation of the world to cut through it.

          the misskey instance was pretty anticommunist before the reddit migration too, so they were ripe for it

        So it's NATO leftist central. I'm starting to realize why every one of them posting here was insufferable as hell.

      Just for a little clarification.. Blahaj is also the name of the shark plushie at IKEA that has become sort of a symbol of trans support. That predates the cringe lemmy instance you're talking about (which I had never even heard of until today, but the shark thing has been a phenomenon for years)
