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.

    In my experience, it’s typically been that the people have been in bad faith, debate perverts (whataboutism!), or just spouting complete racist nonsense. You can see an example of someone who seems to be trying to legitimately point out flaws in our ideology in this very post. No ban, as they haven’t done anything ban worthy. I can’t get the modlog to load, but you can read it yourself.

      At least it’s a new talking point so I got read a bunch of stuff I didn’t know in the responses.

        I unbanned them on the off chance they want to humiliate themselves just a little bit more

        Well, my mistake then. I guess they did take it too far at some point (I still can’t get the modlog to load). The good comments are still there though.

      Nah, that guy totally deserved ban, coming on high horse and old anticommunist talking points as gotchas.

        I thought he was working his way there, but hadn’t crossed the line yet. I was clearly wrong.

      I agree that person stretched to bring up an argument, but I was on world news here and claimed China isn’t a leader in world peace (on an article claiming that very thing) and was banned before I could respond to responses and questions. The mods here get too offended and ban people trying to have a discussion.

        Well, you were banned by a mod evidently as you can still post on lemmygrad. Individual mods do not represent lemmygrad as a whole and you can still participate either way

        I’m on the fence, based on that information alone. It’s just a hypothesis made out of wet mud. I’m not sure it would be worth arguing with such a person.
