Imagine cooking a meal for Lenin or having him stay over for a night or two.

Right. Sus, like I said. You can't trust people willing to use their authority to protect kids.

Although, when it's put like that, it seems people are also sus who want to or would use their authority to force users to accept the risk of seeing porn and gore by allowing NSFW communities. You know. They could always go somewhere else that already allows it but no they've got to cry that they want it here or there, a place they already don't like and don't want to visit.

Will the ordinary public really fall for this shit?

I have a feeling everyone involved in those equations would disagree.

Censorship is certainly the kind of thing that drove people away from dotworld for preemptively defederating from Hexbear by fiat.

You should read some communist literature before pronouncing about it.

Historically, who funded fascists and who fought them?

Because liberals sleep in the same bed as fascists and both are ready to fight socialism tooth and nail?

Other than, you know, the millions and millions and millions of them organised in parties throughout the world.

That's right, not wanting to have SFW communities interrupted by porn and gore is sus.

That is not what happened.

When the Lemmy software was first created, the original Hexbear (it had a different name, then) created a fork. A development or two down the line and the two forks were incompatible. The Hexbear devs started working on a fix long before the Reddit API-debacle exodus. It wasn't easy because the fork added features that were incompatible with, let's say, vanilla Lemmy until recently. The Hexbear devs eventually made the fixes, which made federation possible again. And the long-planned re-federation occurred. The timing is a coincidence.

As for federation, Hexbear asked it's community which instances should be federated. To maintain the friendly culture of Hexbear, there was an agreement to only federate with a few instances. Before that happened, dotworld defederated preemptively. Since then, I have no idea whose federated or defederated with who because I quickly lost interest with the drama.

I should say that I'd never used Hexbear before federation with my instance. I learned all this because it's publicly available knowledge. After federation, with all the drama, I searched 'federation' and some similar search terms on Hexbear communities and learned what I've just explained. The key point is that you don't need a conspiracy theory to explain motives for and the chronology of federation because, like the modlogs, the relevant conversations are still available to read.

Do you think it's a coincidence that most of the people who actually fought in WWII are now dead, unable to challenge their grandkids at the dinner table for coming out with nonsense takes? WWII isn't really in living memory anymore, except for people who were kids in it.

Seems to me like a politician worthy of respect would own what happened and say we need to watch out for Nazis and western disinformation that tries to hide Nazis in plain sight. Instead we get this worm doing western disinformation and trying to hide Nazis in plain sight by sending us to look somewhere else for something that is right in front of us.

Real sad to learn that only the original Nazi party lost WWII. The ideology and the infrastructure were not defeated.

Soviet and allied war heros, we failed you 😞

So he's Nazi-adjacent, too, then, is what he's saying. Because by framing it this way, you know that people are going to think the story is false, that it's Russian propaganda. Which makes it easier for Nazis to do Nazi shit, like honouring Nazis. Because they can more easily gaslight critics by shouting Russian propaganda. And now we're back full circle because someone who does that is a…?

Why am I unsurprised that a settler-colonial-liberal would be this way?

"Juche 112 is the average number of hungry dogs used to devour one of the Kims' enemies in a single sitting and still be able to bring them back to life in a month, unscathed."

Feels like we've been somewhere similar before.

The mind boggles.

Is that a Wolfsangel patch on his sleeve?
