It’s funny to me how people who call themselves anti-authoritarian are some of the most eager to shut out dissenting voices

It makes sense once you realize that “authoritarian” is just a pejorative for “bad person I don’t like” - outside of that it means absolutely nothing

I’m absolutely convinced beehaw is a :fedposting: echo chamber, trying to corral redditors into another bubble before they get any wild ideas of their own

If that’s true, they’re making fairly dumb decisions when they defederate from liberal-leaning instances full of new arrivals from reddit.

One of the best things about Federation is that communities can do exactly that. They can shut themselves off from whatever they like and have their own little website just to themselves. In this case it’s dork-ass libs and they will not be missed.

There is also something to be said about slowing growth so it stays manageable.

And like, we aren’t gonna federate with those sites.

honestly, I think lemmy is probably their best option for having a reddit like site without having to develop it themselves, Kbin is weird and tries too hard to integrate mastodon imo, although I don’t know why they don’t just turn federation off entirely at this point

kbin is written in PHP and Lemmy is written in rust. The decision makes itself

I guess they didn’t realize you could just whitelist instances instead of having some super cumbersome blacklist.

Lol, why would they defederate from lemmy.world? That’s just a wannabe Reddit. This does make Lemmy more tolerable, since I don’t have to see posts from those losers anymore.

I get that the Lemmy stuff is sort of relevant to us but I do wish it was in its own channel that I could unsubscribe from.

Defederating this defederating that unless defederating means removal of feds (possibly by defenestrating) then I really do not care.

I started a megathread in the dunk tank to contain posts there as best I can.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
