Regardless of what happens with people in the wider fediverse demanding to defederate from Hexbear, I will always be glad to have our friends from Lemmygrad beside us

I've been asked to become a writer for the upcoming version of our official party line, which will be written after the next National Congress. My name will be forever tied to a published communist piece of literature.

I'm really glad we've federated with Hexbear. The weeks in between the reddit Lib influx and the Hexbear federation were really rough, since the shitty lib takes seemed to pop up way more than I was comfortable with. But as soon as we federate we end up once again with an overwhelming majority of based takes. Thank you Hexbearists for backing us up against the Lib idiots!

yall 196 reactionaries never been

as fuckin high as me

There's a farmers' protest starting in Belgium similar to the one in The Netherlands. The Netherlands' one is hijacked by far right extremists, but for some reason the one starting over here is starting to show some leftist signs. I even saw a sign about how the leader of the biggest neolib right wing party is 'supporting the big capitalists'. The farmers are also targeting big industrial polluters with their actions.

Our party is on it as well. We can't afford to have a Netherlands 2.0 over here, since the left over there completely shit the bed with handling the protest.

I will keep you guys updated, inshallah we may have an uprising

The best part about federating with Lemmygrad:

we've got 3 megathreads now

Two questions:

1. Does anyone else accidentally tap the up vote button when their screen jumps while typing on lemmygrad in a browser and lose everything they were typing? I'm wondering if I'm the clumsiest person here.
2. I saw on Hexbear that some users from the 'general' instances are creating new accounts Hexbear (here too?) because they're upset with defederation, etc. One problem may be that if they signed up to an instance with a personal email address and then sign up here or on Hexbear with the same name, they may put themselves at risk of being doxed if they make the wrong enemy through e.g. their lemmygrad account. Is it worth featuring a post telling people to use a new, anonymous name on lemmygrad if they create an account to protect their identity? This won't stop wreckers ruining someone's reputation but it may offer some security.

Your fixation with race is astounding. I've quite honestly never even considered the word 'mongrel' to be racially charged, nor was that my intent. That should be all you need to know, really, but you do go on. The word 'removed' could be ascribed exactly the same level of racially charged slur, but that's not what people generally think, noy whats in the dictionary or wikipedia and not what i think when i hear the word. Nor the word bastard for example. That is unless, of course, race and racism are at the forefront of your mind at all times.

Dutch news is running a story about China's youth unemployment of 21%, stating that according to economists, it's a 'telling sign of decay'. Meanwhile Europe is sitting at roughly the same percentage. I wonder what the signs say about that.

There's this Dutch energy company of which 40% of the customers have solar panels installed. They generate enough electricity for the people to give back to the company to store. This costs money, of course. Their solution? Have the customers pay for the electricity THEY PRODUCE. So you have these people, who want to have an eco friendly way of producing energy, and you're going to fuck them over once more. You just can't win in this system 🫠🫠🫠

Hello! I'm new and happy to be here. Excited to explore Lemmygrad 🤗

The water suppliers over here are starting to refer to people as customers like water isn't a basic human right and they are rolling out a digital meter to track your water usage to the last drop (and charge you for it). This meter is closely watched by the EU to implement everywhere.

Europe is in a normal place.

School is starting in many places around the country, so it's a good time to remind everyone that schools in the US are utterly and completely fucked. One of the largest ongoing domestic neoliberal projects is the current privatization of schooling via the charter school system, highly recommend people research it a bit so they know what's going on.
