I know I'm not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I'm probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a LIB

but also I am a LIB and so are all of you and I'm sorry for that as well.

    Blahaj was always going to defed us. From the beginning they were more committed to the red scare stuff than even /r/196 was.

    i mentioned this wayyy back in my comment history, but am too lazy to dig it up.

    don't sweat it if you end up being the excuse for them. This was all predetermined.

        They are. People here shit on them and the 196ers, but there are some genuinely good and funny people there. The shitposty culture is pretty compatible with hexbear.

        It's more of a mod culture thing where they allow constant posts about routing out the red menace, but when you speak up and mention that kind of posting is meant to break movements, you're a "tankie."

        I just hope, over time, the funny people will start to get sick of the tankie paranoia, and come chill in our cozy unity space.

        the 196 mods are very bad, the admin is also not great but less explicitly anticommunist. The users are mostly not so bad.

          196 is the one and only community I blocked. But I feel it reflects very poorly on their instance that the mods are allowed to ban leftists with impunity.

          I actually just found out today that they defederated with us anyway. So good riddance. Plenty of people here and on lemmygrad to be queer with.

                Aren't they all children? Like the meme was "between 19 and 6" because their poll showed they were all under 20

                  That's just another reason to not want to be federated with them for me

                  If I wanted to talk to kids on the internet I'd be a libertarian bern-disgust

                  As if the knowledge that it's a space made up of trans minors + chasers makes it any better epsteingelion

            wait, blahaj defederated?

            edit: no, I can see new posts in their comms

                our admins smoothed things over with them and changed the instance rules so we'll see. I'd rather stay federated with the other large trans community, as a trans person

        I saw one defending hexbear on a .world post complaining about hexbear. Also, aren’t they the ones hosting one of the piracy communities that .world defederated from? Yes piracy, no socialism?
