Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they're created. I know that liberals really don't like dissenting opinions but goddamn

      I meant on https://join-lemmy.org/instances, the 2 under recommended are sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org, both have lemmygrad blocked (beehaw doesnt even have the nazis blocked yet last I checked lmao)

          it's just so weird they all claim we brigade but I go browse thru lemmy threads and we're almost never in there

            It's a load of lies. We (= Lemmygradians) used to be more active on Lemmy, but to call that brigading is a stretch. This is federation, if you don't want people to participate on other instances then you're in the wrong place.

            Beehaw originally claimed they blocked us because WE filled up their hard drive because we were so active and they had to rehost our comments and uploaded media. And then they realised they left the log files from the installation (which was also a bug, to be fair). Whoops.

            They just don't want to be exposed to communists. Beehaw claims to be a "chill" instance where like everyone is respectful and nice to each other but ask anyone here who interacted with a Beehaw user and "respectful" is not an adjective they will use. They like to post anti-communist memes, which I wouldn't call chill and respectful. Beehaw is rabidly anti-communist, they will ban you for creating an account on their instance if you have an account on lemmygrad, even if you follow their rules and everything.

              yes, it says a lot we're the only instance banned imo, they don't care enough about interacting with actual nazis that their admins don't stay on top of banning stuff like exploding heads

              doing some digging, some instances like feddit.de would be more willing to be federated with us if they could just like mute us and keep our communities' posts from popping up in their all, which is fair, and then I would actually be able to interact with them on like lemmy.ml. hopefully lemmy devs add something like that
