Finally some good moderation (mightily appreciated) on what was rapidly turning into Volkischer Beobachter, and look what libs have to say when suddenly discovered they can’t just spew every vile shit imaginable.
Of course it’s r/enoughtankiespam verbatim complete with “why there is so many nazis in our antiauthoritarian space”.
Was it always like this on the fediverse? I can’t separate these kinds of posts from the flood of threads about hexbear since I wasn’t here till we federated and I know there’s a fair amount of overlap.
No, before the reddit invasion lemmygrad had majority of the activity, Yogthos singlehandedly provided half content on lemmy.ml and libs were contained in their own circlejerks like mander or sopuli and dunked on whenever they said some shit in public. There was like 5-6 trolls either creating string of alts or riding the border line of moderation.
But then the
invasion happened and hitler particle emissions from newcomers have been steadily rising since then. Hate against lemmygrad and hexbear is mostly effect of average stormfrontmann cannot imagine social media which won’t ban communists on a whim.
Ahh right, I forgot about the reddit exodus aspect. I’d already abandoned it and been on hexbear since the start, looks like we federated just in time to help combat this bullshit.
👍 Greatly appreciated
Honestly there was still a ton of complaining about lemmygrad even before hexbear federated, which in a way was even funnier because our instance is so tiny compared to most of the lib instances after the flood of
and yet they acted like we were this huge boogeyman, but to see them completely lose their minds after having to deal with a big socialist instance actually close to their size (and maybe even more active) has been so great lol
Yeah those first few days were a gold mine of amazing takes and pissing and shitting about the mean ol’ tankies.
Which is especially funny when the word gets leveled at me lol. I love my ML comrades though.
You had the occasional gigalib or two shitting up discussions in news and politics related comms, but otherwise it was nothing like this before the API exodus.
