I’ve been telling people, if an admin defeds lemmygrad for some smarmy ass lying complete libshit reasons like Ada did, you should have 0 (zero) confidence that she or any other admin who does the same will be willing to engage y’all in good faith and actually work to change their instance, there isn’t a single reason to defed lemmygrad that couldn’t also be used to defed Hexbear for other than maybe lemmygrad is more sectatarian but that makes up maybe 1% of the content on our comms, or maybe that it’s not as outwardly pro-trans*, but then again it’s also the only instance in the threadiverse that I’m aware of that specifically makes you give your view on gender as part of it’s application to weed out transphobes before they can even make an account (I’m not even sure how many instances even still use applications).
Brigading? I’ve seen more links dropped in hexbear threads in the like 2 weeks y’all have been federated than I did in 3 months on lemmygrad
Trolling? Y’all literally have an emote of a fucking pig shitting on its own testicles, what trolling can lemmygrad even conjure to compare to that
“being ok with wishing death on the people of Nato” this is the most baffling one, y’all literally have an emote dedicated to this kind of comment that has a nuke symbol and says “Please, Xi” that’s used to say that the entirety of the west should be nuked and destroyed which is the exact same of comments made on lemmygrad just without the emote, and that’s just the ones that use that emote in particular.
It may look like I’m saying I told you so because, well, I am, I told you so. I would be extremely surprised if that shithead of a mod gets removed, I put it at about the same chances as blahaj refederating with lemmygrad (so never, lol).
*I’m sure lemmygrad could be better in some way about this, but at the same time 11% of our users were trans when we did a survey 2 months ago, which I hope means that it’s generally still a good, safe instance for our trans comrades (P.S. WE LOVE OUR TRANS COMRADES)
Edit: some further evidence of shit lib behavior, when she originally defederated lemmygrad it’s not like she put effort to remain federated like y’all did, she dropped 2 (two) comments deep in some random ass thread where she called us tankies, this person was never going to put in the same kind of effort that y’all were going to, forgot about this until after I made the post https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/501598 https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/501598 their instance is struggling so here’s a screenshot if you can’t load them
I think people trust people they like whether the person deserves it or not. Yea, Ada sucks
That’s fair I guess, I’m sure a lot of people didn’t see her calling lemmygrad users “tankies” unironically, because I can’t imagine liking someone who does that tbh if you’re a hexbear user
the baseless accusations of Kremlin propaganda gave me whiplash.
it’s a classic, it’s their favorite accusation of the Grad. I argued a week or 2 ago with some moron who kept saying that lemmygrad were the paid propagandists while hexbear was just a bunch of useful idiots swallowing it lol
putting it in your “good faith - we’re going to try to make this work” post is
