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!

RUZZIA! data-laughing

    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.

  • SexUnderSocialism [she/her]79•10 months ago

    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

  • Leon_Grotsky [comrade/them]71•10 months ago

    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.

  • Frank [he/him, he/him]69•10 months ago

    RUzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz because I fell asleep.

    I endorse "Because Ruzzia already looks bad you bran and turd stuffed puppet muffin" for a site header.

    • Dirt_Owl [comrade/them, they/them]53•10 months ago

      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?

      • FlakesBongler [they/them]51•10 months ago

        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

        • ThomasMuentzner [he/him, comrade/them]13•10 months ago

          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 !

      • BeamBrain [he/him]27•10 months ago

        The truth - that we are wasting our finite time on Earth arguing with clueless assholes of our own volition - is of course much sadder

        • FlakesBongler [they/them]32•10 months ago

          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

      • Leon_Grotsky [comrade/them]38•10 months ago

        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.

        6/10

        • Parsani [love/loves, comrade/them]33•10 months ago

          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

          • Leon_Grotsky [comrade/them]15•10 months ago

            OH my mistake for being unclear I was referring to Stuffed Puppet Muffin with my compliments. They managed to overcome the initial cheeto joke hurdle to surpass mediocrity

      • MaoTheLawn [any, any]10•10 months ago

        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"

    • @lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml35•10 months ago

      I get to post again! When CTH went private on reddit I couldn't join for some reason. Even though I had several posts in the upper 2000s. Glad to be back!

  • Łumało [he/him]@lemmygrad.ml59•10 months ago

    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.

    • comfy@lemmy.ml45•10 months ago

      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.

      • TreadOnMe [none/use name]36•10 months ago

        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.

  • g_g [they/them]54•10 months ago

    i was worried about federation before but i've thoroughly enjoyed three separate instances of lost LIB s getting dunked on just today! it's great fun, i'm totally with ya

    • ToastyWaffle@lemmygrad.ml7•10 months ago

      I didn't know hexbear was full of a bunch of lefties.

      Hi friends :) -from lemmygrad

      • RedDawn [he/him]5•10 months ago

        Who did you think we were? We're the lifeboat of r/chapotraphouse after it got banned from reddit

        • ToastyWaffle@lemmygrad.ml4•10 months ago

          Idk, I never visited ChapoTraoHouse. Just places like lateStageCapitalism. Then on lemmy all I heard was people complaining about Hexbear but I had no idea the context around it. Just glad to interact with other leftists!

  • TheGamingLuddite [none/use name]50•10 months ago

    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.

    • seeking_perhaps [he/him]12•10 months ago

      I'm envisioning one of those timed work compliance training videos where they have to spend on hour being deprogrammed without clicking away from the training window.

    • ghostOfRoux();@lemmygrad.ml23•10 months ago

      There is a certain elegance to comments from 14 year olds that just learned how to combine words to make softball insults.

      • UlyssesT [he/him]9•10 months ago

        What a fuckrustable situation. Tommy need drinky. maybe-later-honey

  • GrouchyGrouse [he/him]30•10 months ago

    The failure of Russia is a failure of capitalism. The very thing they decry is the thing they uphold.

      • CTHlurker [he/him]10•10 months ago

        He taught me English, so I can sort of blame him for my burgerbrain and the fact that I was an insufferable lib from 15-22

  • guacamole [none/use name]19•10 months ago

    looking forward to defederating with everyone.

    Have a feeling federation is a fad, but really can’t be fucked to care enough one way or the other.

    • Łumało [he/him]@lemmygrad.ml48•10 months ago

      NOO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US. 😭😭😭

      YOU DON'T HAVE TO RECREATE THE SINO-SOVIET SPLIT PLEASE. 😭😭😭

      Edit: Wait a fucking moment. Account made 2 days ago? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

      • Sickos [they/them, it/its]37•10 months ago

        I'm looking forward to when we've purged enough libs and fascists that the real infighting can begin. Until then, left-unity-4

      • Kuori [she/her]22•10 months ago

        lmao our devs worked too hard to unleash us on the unsuspecting lemmyverse

        genie's not going back in the bottle now
