¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I sort of look at them as amusement. It's not like what they want will happen In our lifetimes (or ever probably). I don't necessarily get why everyone hates them, just try looking at them as funny content lol
You must not have seen the amount of genocide denial they do, or the amount of simping for dictators.
What's weird is that I don't remember the Chapo guys doing any of that, they seem pretty solidly democratic socialist.
I guess that's what happens when you let your community mods be Putin bots or whatever dumbfuckery went on.
It's also what happens when you lock yourself in an echo chamber for long enough, you views will drift.
But the Chapo crowd always had tendencies towards brigading and whatnot which is why Reddit eventually deleted their sub.
Plus the Chapo crowd were firmly "Bernie or Bust," which was a pretty shit view at the time.
They are the best example what happens when people are locked in their echo chamber. They are radicalizing themselves to the point of absurdity. The statements they make are so illogical its hard to even have a discussion about it, because they literally deny truisms.
I genuinely don't understand why the admins are dragging ass and not just defederating from them already. They provide nothing of value, just spam and harassment.
Because if memory serves both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad share some admins with each other
And with Lemmygrad and Hexbear loving each other: federation is going to stay a thing over here
One of the things I love about the instance I'm on is that we're defederated from Hexbear, it's pretty nice NGL
Well that certainly explains a lot.
Because you're on a tankie instance. Go to sopuli.xyz; the admin banned all extremists left and right so it's smooth sailing.
Is there a way to see who has defederated?
What does tankie mean?
wanna-be-edgy teenager who unironically wears Che Guevara t-shirts, mostly.
Also the kind that say anything western is the devil, and anything Russian and/or Chinese is the great saviour/perfection/whatever other bullshit.
So would the people from hexbear be considered tankies?
Apparently so.
Ahh I guess that's a good reason to hate them
