Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they’re created. I know that liberals really don’t like dissenting opinions but goddamn

I can see your post from here so you’re not being too heavily blocked. Some people maybe just have a kneejerk reaction to communist imagery/mentality (maybe bad experiences in various countries’ history, etc)
you can see me because lemmy doesnt have lemmygrad blocked, the 2 recommended general instances have lemmygrad blocked, and when browsing thru lemmy I see posts from people in other instances and like half of them already have lemmygrad blocked despite being pretty new
Which recommended general instances have lemmygrad blocked?
I meant on https://join-lemmy.org/instances, the 2 under recommended are sopuli.xyz and beehaw.org, both have lemmygrad blocked (beehaw doesnt even have the nazis blocked yet last I checked lmao)
Lemmy.one is new, and does as well
it’s just so weird they all claim we brigade but I go browse thru lemmy threads and we’re almost never in there
It’s a load of lies. We (= Lemmygradians) used to be more active on Lemmy, but to call that brigading is a stretch. This is federation, if you don’t want people to participate on other instances then you’re in the wrong place.
Beehaw originally claimed they blocked us because WE filled up their hard drive because we were so active and they had to rehost our comments and uploaded media. And then they realised they left the log files from the installation (which was also a bug, to be fair). Whoops.
They just don’t want to be exposed to communists. Beehaw claims to be a “chill” instance where like everyone is respectful and nice to each other but ask anyone here who interacted with a Beehaw user and “respectful” is not an adjective they will use. They like to post anti-communist memes, which I wouldn’t call chill and respectful. Beehaw is rabidly anti-communist, they will ban you for creating an account on their instance if you have an account on lemmygrad, even if you follow their rules and everything.
yes, it says a lot we’re the only instance banned imo, they don’t care enough about interacting with actual nazis that their admins don’t stay on top of banning stuff like exploding heads
It has happened a bit before. When we first came over here not everyone understood federation and that lemmy.ml allows liberals. We’re pretty ideologically consistent (compared to liberals) so it can probably feel like ganging up to some people.
It’s still lame to block the whole instance, though.
doing some digging, some instances like feddit.de would be more willing to be federated with us if they could just like mute us and keep our communities’ posts from popping up in their all, which is fair, and then I would actually be able to interact with them on like lemmy.ml. hopefully lemmy devs add something like that
Yeah, I definitely understand! At some points we’ve been most of the new queue in lemmy.ml, and I’m sure that can be frustrating for the liberals.
They could fix it by becoming commies, tho 😁
Yeah it’s made by the “privacy” advocates on PrivacyGuides, in one of the posts there they outright deny Apple spying because “even the CIA cannot break into iPhones, so why would we trust the FSB”, it’s a charade.
