im so proud of you for this one, at least I know you're not in deep enough that you repeat the "LG and Hexbear are all chinese bots!?!?" cliche.
Still it hurts, can't you stroke our egos more like normal liberals do by pretending we're important enough for China to pay attention to us like that 
"tankies ruining lemmy!". Meanwhile lemmy devs have che and fidel as pfp 🗿
they were being ironic I swear to god i swear to whtie jebus
Hey speaking of goat of shitjustworks, is it widely known that they're impersonating another fediverse user with completely opposite politics? They're not even just a user, they're an admin of a moderately large Mastodon instance. You'd think that would get a ban or something even from lib admins. Unless I've been the victim of some kind of psyop or something.
Yeahh, at least Ada at blahaj (the head admin) seemed nice and wanted us all to get along. I was just arguing with one of the shitjustworks admins about some stupid hostile nonsense. Not only are they not doing damage control, they're actively making it more toxic.

??? Blahaj ban all "tankies" on sight, if that's "getting along" then i don't want to see how hostility looks (in an odd chance rabies might be contracted through internet).
If I understand the situation correctly... the issues (besides their userbase) were mainly with the moderator of their 196 community who was on that anti-tankie grindset. There was dialogue between Hexbear's admins and Ada about smoothing over the issues that developed but she wouldn't do anything about the 196 mod who was actively stirring up stuff or anything about the users saying horrible things to some of our users. So that's why we defederated.
How did lemmygrad end up defederated btw?
Ada took offense to "Death to NATO." When she was called out on it, she doubled down and said it's wrong to call for death to the "People of NATO." Hilarity followed and she got dunked on.
Ohh right hehehe, I forgot about that part
Moreover, 196 is such a shithole vaushite comm, if you block 196 in blahaj.zone it suddenly becomes bearable and nice.
Yeahh, 100 percent
How did lemmygrad end up defederated btw?
From what i understand, blahaj defederated by that 196 jerk, things were pretty cool, but he appeared and suddenly entire blahaj was on full crusade against us, also it looked he dragged down tons of his cronies or sockpuppets there to make a crowd since their threads were full of "fuck tankies" spam. Few days later they defederated so i assumed that dork have full control since everything went from 0 to 100 really fast exactly along his line.
Ohh I see. That sucks :(
Maybe I'm naive and have an over-conciliatory attitude but I think things could've worked out for both our instances if it weren't for that 196 mod and a few other bad actors. Maybe in the future.
she herself is a bad faith actor, I made a post about this on cth when hexbear defederated: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1373636 https://hexbear.net/post/372543
Yeah, you have some good points in there. I must have missed some of the drama.
I am so tired of the "anti-tankie" western left bullshit.
Lol, imagine thinking that Hexbear and Lemmygrad are funded right out of Big Man Xi's own pockets... No, the truth is actually that all the other Lemmy instances are funded directly by Spez in order to stomp out his competition!
By the way, I keep seeing this emoji, and I get that it's supposed to represent laughter, but what's the context behind it? Who is that guy?
The emoji is called michael-laugh so evidently. I'm assuming you're referring to Michael Jamal Brooks (political commentator, 1983-2020) as opposed to the inexcusable number of other notable Michael Brooks on Wikipedia.
I was. I've never listened to his stuff but he seemed to be well liked.
Yes, we all loved the direction he was taking MR on r/cth and then he suddenly died right before the launch of chapo.chat (now hexbear), so we of course created this in memoriam.
You're asking the wrong person lol you need to ask one of the older hexbear users, I consider myself a LG user (which is why I use this account) and I also have only had an account on Hexbear since May anyways, I just think it's a funny emoji. when I'm using hexbear emojis im opening up hexbear on another tab, clicking reply to some comment or post, searching for the one I want, and the copy and pasting it over to the comment I'm making on LG
I'm using Hexbear on a client that doesn't support selecting emojis and my account is only like 15 days old so that's a mood
It's the same energy as saying everyone not alt-right is funded by George Soros. But don't tell the libs that.
Lemmy.world people are leaving Lemmy because of Hexbear?
Good, that motivates me to post three times as hard. Sissypea money well spent
I've been active online and in an actual communist party for years now. I am yet to be approached by a Chinese or Russian official to be a paid shill. You'd almost think it is projection.
Just remember, in the US, Nazis have more rights than you. For example, protections under federal labor law specifically do not apply to communists. Great country, eh?
Do you have to specify you're a communist when you take a job in the US? Why not just say no anyway?
Government jobs, yes. Lying could result in jail time, in some cases. Jobs here are also known to pay people to search social media for dirt. Really just a matter of time before they decide to start trying to use it again to avoid wrongful termination fines.
More than anything, I think it's important to highlight how fucked up it is that it's still on the books and no equivalent anti-Nazi laws ever have been.
Wait till you see how much Wikipedia is edited from us military bases. Once again every accusation is a confession.
you guys aren't getting paid? mf I get 30 000 RMB a month through 微信
I know overseas shipping is rough, but I've been a China shill for about 4 years. Either China really is capitalist and they're outright stealing my wages, or my check's still en route. Regardless, I'm pretty pissed off. All this PRCposting and I haven't seen a single fucking yuan.
Sucks to be you, Xi is paying me 1¥ per post
I can show you how, just go to https://ytmnd.com.on.nimp.org (don't actually do this)
Sorry, as part of our cooperation with Russia, your wages wound up getting held up in Russian banks.
If you can make it to Russia, you can collect your money there in person.
I've unironically thought about immigrating almost entirely because of their positive relationship with the DPRK lol.
I cash in one million Xi-bucks for every comment on non-Hexbear comm
Didn't you hear? Chinese dollar reserves are on the decline. The dollars must be going somewhere jajajaja
wait, are we funded by the CPC or Russia? im confused, how am i gonna know what im supposed to post?!
It's simple: the Russian and Chinese governments are actually one.
I mean, think about it: have you ever actually been to Russia and China? I mean, sure you've met people who claim to be "Chinese" or "Russian" online or maybe in the street, but they're all getting paid by the government of the Sino-Soviet Socialist Republic, too. See, there was no Sino-Soviet split, actually, but rather a union — the whole split was actually a farce meant to trick the United States into believing that the socialist world was more fractured than it actually was. The USSR never actually dissolved, and there is no war in Ukraine, either — that's just a way of tricking NATO into giving billions of dollars and countless firearms and so forth to the mighty SSSR.
The entire territory of the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Mongolian People's Republic, the United Socialist Republic of Indochina, and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, are all one big glorious nation. This fact must never become known to the capitalist west! It is in fact the most masterful and ingenious part of the godless communist strategy to subjugate the entire globe under the mighty, terrible heel of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!
Your last paragraph made me both happy and sad. Don't cry for what could have been, smile for what was...
It’s simple: the Russian and Chinese governments are actually one.
So, yellow peril and red scare united into... orange terror?
Shit.
in a shocking turn of events, the service workers of florida have taken control of the national guard depots and established a people’s state. they have seized all private industry and are engaged in a defensive war against the US military. they call it “orange terror”
FBI cannot confirm whether they meant the U.S. state of Georgia’s southern neighbor or the sovereign one’s southern neighbor in an embarrassing turn of events
“in a bout of confusion, the US has invaded Armenia”
Fortunately for everyone, since Armenia is part of the communist superstate (as the Soviet Union), the U.S. accidentally sent in tankies instead of tanks in a second communication error.
In fact, BRICS actually serves as a front to make people think there are independent countries, and for secret annexation votes to the communist superstate.
There was actually a secret vote in 1991 to annex other countries into this superstate, so the dissolution of the USSR was performed as a masterful distraction by Comrade Gorbachev
And that's why to this very day, faking the dissolution of a country while actually expanding it is referred to in communist circles as "gorbing it down Soviet style"
This geopolitical football is often accompanied by stuffed crust cheese bread with tomato sauce
The CPC is doing most of the funding, but Russia agreed to contribute bot technology to CPC if we would support Russia despite being a capitalist state. This scheme worked quite well, and Lemmygrad today is full of pro-Russian commenters.
thanks for explaining comrade! sometimes you have to make compromises for the movement: the USSR allied with britain and amerika to defeat fascism. its simpler on hexbear, we’re funded by george soros, so we just have to be massive liberals
Internal CPC rumors suggest funders of both Lemmygrad and Hexbear can be found shitposting on Hexbear. This seems to include @XiJinping@hexbear.net and @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net (obviously George Soros himself) at minimum.
Still it hurts, can’t you stroke our egos more like normal liberals do by pretending we’re important enough for China to pay attention to us like thatStill it hurts, can't you stroke my ego more like normal liberals do by pretending I'm important enough for China to pay attention to me like that.
(that better?)

Reminds of that sad joke about a Jewish man in 1932 reading "Der Stürmer"
I can’t imagine it was much better in 1932 than what I’m reading it was in 1933 and 1934…
Obligatory Nazi:
