Whole post is dogshit, but Lemmygrad is the only sizeable instance blocked on beehaw, so I can’t help but assume this is mostly addressed about us:
Some of the instances that we have chosen to defederate with have explicit political stances and ideologies. Their political stance and ideology had nothing to do with the choice to defederate. The choice to defederate was based on the amount of hate speech present on the instance and/or explicitly endorsing it
Our admins ban all bigotry, and are extremely quick to ban them, so this is complete bullshit. In addition per @CriticalResist8 , they originally claimed that they blocked us because we were too active and filling up their disk space (spoiler: they were just incompetent, it was just log files they weren’t deleting). I hate these smug, weaselly little liars dude :hasan-smash:
Also, the comments complaining about the lemmy devs again. Please, I beg you, switch to kbin you fucking losers. The devs never should have helped your bum asses out. They offer free hosting, put your server in reccomended (and in fact were only 1 of 2 in the recommended section for a long time!), basically bend over backwards to accommodate you and all you can think of is “muh evil tankies”
“We don’t block instances because they have a different ideology, we do it because of hate speech! Incidentally, we consider having a different ideology to us to be hate speech.”
beehaw is a neoliberal’s idea of being a leftist lol. The first thing they did after beehaw was created, when it was still a dead instance with sopuli is to go on lemmy.ml and start shilling their instance by badmouthing lemmygrad. We were here first, buckos.
You can find all the stuff they say about us with a simple search btw https://beehaw.org/search/q/lemmygrad/type/All/sort/Old/listing_type/Local/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1, the thing about their log files was around 10 months ago and shows up in that search.
good morning mr critical. I was wondering, are you in the matrix instance admin chat with them?
with the lemmy.ml admins? I have a direct line to one of them, but otherwise I’m only in the lemmygrad admin chat.
There’s an instance admin matrix room on the general lemmy server, I guess you’re not in that? Im not really sure what it is, it’s got like 200 people in it
I think what really irks me about the Free Speech Absolutists is how they’re obviously full of shit, and they’re not fooling anyone, but they just can’t bring themselves to just say it. “We blocked them because they’re commies, and we hate commies. That’s all. Go use a different site if you don’t like it.” Pathetic.
to be absolutely fair to beehaw, they don’t claim to be free speech absolutists. In all honesty, you could argue that lemmygrad does violate their whole philosophy of “being nice”. We aren’t always going to be nice, especially when some hapless liberal starts spewing racism or anticommunism. But that’s not what is written here. They’re accusing us of hate speech, not “being mean”
They literally think it’s the same thing:
Beehaw does not tolerate hate speech. Beehaw is an explicitly safe space. We center and promote kindness because that is what we see and love in the world.
Their idea of safe spaces is not able to account for existing power dynamics if they insist on civility above all else. It’s literally not a safe space. But it is a space that the privileged leadership can label as safe for the sake of their own affirmation.
I predicted yesterday that their shitlib purity obsession would eventually lead to them destroying their own community, I didn’t expect them do be talking about forking and de-federating from everyone else in just a day later though lol
[lemmy.ml] gives off the vibe of a more cleaned up and publicly palatable version of Stormfront (A)
Who types shit like this :stalin-stressed:
Being able to lie so freely must feel liberating to liberals.
Just inventing your own reality. Words are nothing but a way to hurt people you don’t like.
These are the same types of people like the commenter i once saw in the :warren-snake: subreddit claim that cth was “”“transphobic”“”
So wrong it was downright befuddling
I would suspect that many of them would identify as progressive because we are explicitly a safe space for minorities.
Me insisting people use my correct pronouns would get me banned for not being civil enough. I am not safe around these unscratched fascists
Beehaw does not tolerate hate speech. Beehaw is an explicitly safe space. We center and promote kindness because that is what we see and love in the world.
Oh my god they think hate speech is when people are mean.
I got banned for calling out a social darwinist and linked to the comment where they were social darwinist and anti natalist against poor on reddit from a major subreddit. So I can relate somewhat to your ban-experiences.
We center and promote kindness because that is what we see and love in the world.
Sounds like that Hippie stuff which lead to cults, bad esoteric stuff and anti materialism.
