There was only one thing I missed about the old CTH subreddit, and that was that we would occasionally get a lost lib that would stumble in and start calling us Putin lovers or some shit. It was always really funny watching them expect to bring the reddit debate shit in only to be completely not be taken seriously at all.

Well, they're back baby!

    the lamey.world "pre-emptive/last resort" defederation drama has been the funniest thing imo. i imagined federation with such a big-tent LIB instance would involve wreckers and some crafted-over-time pre-text for shutting us out.

    instead, they push the button before we even connect, call out our mod message of "be polite in other instances" and "NATO is shitty, actually", creating a struggle session amongst their own users, locking their own post, and banning complainers as hex-alts like some Q-brain trying to huff the Smell of Freedom while standing in the Cavortex.

    their deranged leadership outed their instance as the vanity project of some reactionary autocratic westoid chauvinist. straight up own-goal from midfield.

    I like how they believe that the only way a dissenting opinion can exist, is if the person was paid for it, because they're so used to a political system where opinions being bought is the norm. think-about-it

    To be serious; I think you're right Dirt_Owl, the missing ingredient from the old sub is the happenstance of libs. Up until now we've had like... haters show up, but we finally get the stray clueless wandering through we've been missing.

      The "... hope you were paid well" got me too. Calling us Russian bots and everything lmao. These people actually exist susie-laugh

      What's next, a Xi Winnie the Pooh and social credit joke? Calling Trump Drumf and Putin Putler? Why do these guys think getting names wrong is some kind of own?

        They operate under the idea that Putin and Xi care about what Americans (and it's almost always Americans) think about them

        Buddy, I got news for you, they don't give a shit if you make fun of them

        It's futile, like an ant trying to bite the sun

          at the end of the day is is a sick expresion of narcissm , the whole logic , stemps from the point that "they" can not be Wrong about something.

          Thats also why they imagine all the "Badies" leading Bot armies against their Belives , because "they" is just that important !

          I don't argue with people

          I say weird shit or insult them and then ignore them

          If they want to think I care about them, that's a personal choice

        To me it gives off the sames vibes as the Mango Mussolini shit, but at the very least that's new, innovative, and has good mouth feel.

          It has the jesse-wtf vibe that the orange man jokes lack.

          Usually the libs are far less creative, so I respect the innovation over "Putin shill" or w/e

        hate to be that guy but I think it sounds exactly like when libs like Chuck Wending do that whole "WEDNESDAY. The day you flumpty-foo! And you think boopty-bop and zippity-zoom but the truth is, razza frazza wuzza wooza" and go "Trumpie couldn't even comprehend if I called him a fumcrustable turd gurgling herd burglar"

    I've read the !chat@hexbear.net post about the "Ukrainian Nazis" statement in source code, and I have to hand it to you guys. You are better at engaging stray libs than us, fucker was swarmed with genuine replies and the occasional ppb.

      It's a rhetorical technique known as the PPB sandwich. Bait them with productive counterpoints, hit them with the ppb, then soften the exit with further civil discussion.

      Soon enough we will be seeing it within single replies.

        And then, if they pull some classic, 'Oh I just wanted to help you, but clearly you are too far gone' you really barbeque them, because it's funny.

    I propose a flat system of unbanning liberals if they publicly post this:

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.

    There should be a megathread for bans appealed through this process.
