I just can't believe the ee user who tried to deflect a hate killing of a gay man in texas into you see this is why China bad moment.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 65 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Also citing Russia's homophobic laws. Yeah, dude, I know Russia is homophobic! That's one of many reasons why I think they shouldn't have dissolved the USSR!

Not to mention that, for all of China's faults WRT LGBTQ people, I think it's borderline unheard of for the government to be so out of touch and callous in China that the police would allow a hate crime like this to go down after months of the victim complaining about their neighbors being hateful bigots.

I guess you can be an honorary hexbear admin

This is how you honour our hero? With empty felicitations?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 39 points 3 weeks ago

well if we're not careful, FunkyStuff might destroy hexbear with his most enormous powers if granted even more power to wield at his whim.

Ah, this is really too bad, because I liked being on an instance that was federated with pretty much every other instance because I feel that defederation generally sucks, barring some extreme exceptions (n.b., the so-called "Tankie Triad" :D is not one of those exceptions).

As far as I know, this will only leave lemmy.sdf.org and lemmy.zip as fully federated instances. :(

Edit: I forgot to mention lemmy.ml. Also, apparently lemmy.today is also pretty good about not defederating. Lemmy.sdf.org is a bit problematic because it's not actively maintained.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 42 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't lemmy.ml still federated to almost everything?

(I do not keep up with instance news, very prepared to be laughably wrong here)

[–] turtle@lemm.ee 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

True too. I forgot that. I think I'm leery because usually the people who keep whining about the "Tankie Triad" include lemmy.ml as part of that triad and keep lobbying for other instances to defederate from it.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Been on here since spez shit the bed, Idk haven't really seen anything specifically tankie from here

[–] turtle@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Same here. The tankie hate on Lemmy is way, way, way overdone and stupid.

Edit: on second thought, it's not even just tankie hate. It's calling everything to the left of them tankie.

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You have to remember, the people complaining about the "tankie triad" consider everything to the left of Kamala Harris to be "tankies"

I do wonder where I'll go if/when sdf is gone

[–] turtle@lemm.ee 15 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

If you like seeing posts from all (legal) lemmy instances, it seems that lemmy.zip will be the only other lemmy instance that's federated with pretty much everyone. I mentioned lemmy.today in my post, but have since learned that they're apparently having problems with spam accounts.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Good to know. I just am always hesitant to use anything on a .zip domain

[–] turtle@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, that was an unfortunate choice.

Can end up downloading bad things unintentionally. People like to hide or obscure things by putting them in a zip (while also making it easier to send files)

Reddthat.com also has a policy of federating just about everyone. I think the only instance they're defederated from is Threads.

Proof that bullying libs works

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 51 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Mao had just said, "uhh the state is an oppressive institution so now we'll just dismantle everything and y'all can just organize horizontally or whatever."

The funny thing is, he kinda did. The result was these roving, undisciplined militias calling themselves Red Guards and holding (actual) struggle sessions and killing each other, and committing a bunch of atrocities.

I know there were actual historical reasons but I like to imagine that one day Mao somehow got possessed by a redditor and started doing what any "anti-tankie" would say he should do, denouncing the government as having fallen to bourgeois opportunists and calling on the people to rise up in this structureless, "anti-authoritarian" way. But since the outcome was bad, it's of course, "No, not like that."

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 41 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it's a great example, and there's a lot of irony in how during this part of history Western Maoism became the main current of the left student movement. The anti-authoritarians have always been very quick to adopt the most idealistic, anti-materialist lines just because it "feels right."

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My favorite was Ben Shapiro saying "Mao took away everyone's guns," and reactionaries started parroting this, which was the complete opposite of what happened. Mao was like "Here have some guns. I'm not gonna tell you what you should do, but also it'd be a real shame if some landlords tried to collect rent from their tenants."

They'll claim he killed 60 million people, but then not explain how. Hint: revolutionaries went around shooting anyone they didn't like after communists won the civil war.

"I don't know where political power grows out of, I hope it's not from the barrel of a gun, I hate those things"

no more half measures walter

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 39 points 3 weeks ago

I was in that same thread shooting the shit. They didn't know we shoot to kill!

Honestly, I was just trying to get banned from their instance so I didn't have to see their garbage anymore. This is some of the best and funniest news I've heard on here in a long while

Im not really sure what instance to switch to. Lemmy.zip maybe? I just want to be able to interact with as many people as possible (until I'm banned or blocked ofc).

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago

I think lemmy.sdf.org or simply lemmy.ml are probably the best bets.
