Fuck you reddit 2.0, took you long enough. Thanks though, we’ll stop seeing your crap posters pollute our comment section from now on.

90% of people we ban come from world. Very funny that they said they saw a rise of hate speech from our instance though considering the worlders we ban are fucking genocidal maniacs and fascists. You can check the modlog (it’s unfortunately federated), we are one of the tamest instances when it comes to banning people and deleting comments/posts.

For any worlder that was based and liked interacting with lemmygrad (you will notice we did not ban good faith participants), I recommend you make an account on a third-party instance that federates with us, like ml or ee until they also defederate from us because we have principles 🙃

Fuck israel, Palestine will be free a month from now mark my words 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

On top of that, for the worlders finally breathing free again now that the scary tankies are away, you think the USSR wasn’t communist or whatever. You base that on whatever you’ve been taught in school. We’ve read things. We’ve actually gone beyond whatever our high school teachers said and looked into the USSR for ourselves. If you’re not cowards you will debate us about communism and “totalitarian” regimes, we’ll wipe the floor with you. Bet you don’t even know where the world totalitarian comes from or who coined it without looking it up.

And we retain our perfect track record of not blocking real instances while you further isolate yourselves from anything that might cause you some amount of discomfort. Really good democracy you got going there where wannabe tech bros instance admins decide for you what you’re allowed to see, must be those liberal values I hear so much about.

      I was really grateful when blahaj-zone left. It hurt me to the bottom of my soul that they had made such a mockery of blahaj. 196 was the first and only community I blocked.

        The thought invective that forms in my head for whenever I see blahaj now is “oh, the consumer queers who think consumption is morality is praxis.” And then just like the momentary mental blips that occur due to .works and .world, I go on about my day because settlers don’t deserve to rent out that kind of brain space unless they’re going to actually pay me.

          It’s just more of a symbol for our kind, and it’s a harmless adorable plushie. Even Hitler had a dog who loved him. I wouldn’t deny a blahaj even to Caitlyn Jenner.

          They’re an aggressively pro-NATO, pro-US, anti-communist instance. They would ban anyone left of Obama, and had some very questionable users. Our friends at Hexbear interacted with them much more than we did and there was a significant amount of drama. You can read stories in that post. They defederated from us pretty much immediately.

            I am sooo glad I now have an account on a better instance <333 Thanks for the explanation.

            Edit: Why is the post you link from lemmy.world but also not from lemmy.world I am confused.

            You can’t say ‘you stand with palestine’ while denying the people that Palestine stands with. You literally do not get to do that. This is not a bifurcated conflict. If Palestinian marxists and even unbased civilians decided that Hamas was good enough for them, that’s the end of your input on the situation-- otherwise, you’re not with them. You’re just two steps from both-sidesing Israel’s settler-colonial genocide.

            I cannot wait to see what happens when Black folk start cultivating proper leaders again; y’all’d probably fuck us yet again. “Oh, I don’t agree with the armed coalition militia” when we spent 400 years under peckerwood oppression; that’s what you’re doing to Palestinian civilians when you denounce some of the only people willing to actually protect them.

            And there are no civilians in Israel except the kids. Israel is a military conscription state. Everyone who isn’t a child either serves, or has served the IDF. They’re all legal combatants according to Amerikan RoEs.

                    just because their government’s actions are the reason for their deaths.

                    How consistent are you with this? I assume you think the Haitian Revolution was wrong too?

                What do you think the “Palestinian will” is?

                Just do another peaceful protest and pray they don’t get murdered again while everyone in the West acts like nothing happened?

                Also, just voting doesn’t tell you the full story. Is it not possible that while Palestinians would rather not take such measures, all other alternatives have been exhausted?

                I’m having trouble finding current polls, perhaps because of an active war, but it seems this operation has led to a surge in support for Hamas.

                Libs debate without knowlege and get angry very quickly when it doesn’t work.

                Could it be that you, who have “looked into it” by way of being spoon-fed a couple recent articles, are wrong?

                Not only it that impossible, you also got so angry at the guy you were talking with you resorted to name calling.

                Shouldn’t you be ashamed rather than angry? Because this small exchange paints a pretty clear picture of your ass

                    If you mean the same “40”, no, nothing has been verified that I have seen, with the IDF explicitly rejecting the request to substantiate their claim. Children certainly have been killed, but that targeted slaughter of 40 infants seems to be fictional, to say nothing of the means of killing.

                Why are you spilling tears over the handful of dead Israeli children but not the hundreds of dead Palestinian kids who do not have bomb shelters to go to, who are unable to leave the tiny Gaza strip, who have been living like this all their life?

                And please don’t imply “both sides are killing children and that’s bad”. One side may or may not have made child casualties as part of their methodical liberation operation that targeted military installations and personnel, the other (Israel) is just indiscriminately bombing everything that moves in Gaza and has been doing it nonstop for 4 days, day in and day out.

                    I’m not worried about condemning Israel as they’re clearly genociding Palestine and anybody that can’t see that is just not worth my time. What worries me is the great number of people that don’t seem to understand that mindless violence towards children and civilians isn’t the answer

                    You can support Palestine and its liberation without supporting Hamas and the actions thereof, something people don’t seem to understand for some reason.

                    “I’m not worried about condemning Nazi Germany as they’re clearly genociding Jews and anybody that can’t see that is just not worth my time. What worries me is the great number of people that don’t seem to understand that mindless violence towards children and civilians isn’t the answer … You can support the Jews and their liberation without supporting the Allies and the actions thereof, something people don’t seem to understand for some reason.”

                    Holy cow, this response sounds like you think fighting the Nazis was wrong.

                    Because I’m not worried about condemning Israel as they’re clearly genociding Palestine and anybody that can’t see that is just not worth my time.

                    There’s thousands of Zionists in the world who don’t see that. Why are communists on Lemmygrad more “deserving” (I guess is the right word) of your time than those Zionists who are whitewashing war crimes at this very moment?

                    mindless violence towards children and civilians isn’t the answer

                    The violence from Palestine is not mindless. As I said they target military structures. It is the last resort for their survival.

                    We’re still at square one; why are you clutching pearls over Hamas maybe or maybe not killing a handful of Israeli children who didn’t get evacuated in time when the sirens started sounding in the settlements and not admonishing zionists over their continued support of the genocide currently going on in Gaza?

                I’m just as upset as you presumably are that the parents of those kids were keeping them so close to an open air prison and site of such violent conflict. That’s not a safe place for kids and it’s tragic that those kids died as a consequence of the negligence of their shitty, colonizer parents.

        Is the news that we’re right? I can’t tell you how many fashy comments I’ve had to remove from worlders. Oh also when you make a report on Lemmy, it gets sent to all applicable parties. I received the reports because the comments were made on Lemmygrad, but so did .world because they concerned someone from their instance.

        They never got banned from world 🙃
