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

      No, it looks like Fedi.tips is driving people away from the software Lemmy, because they have ethical issues about not censoring Lemmygrad’s userbase and the devs’ ideology.

      As it says on the homepage sidebar, lemmy.ml isn’t a flagship instance, and I’d expect better from an account calling itself Fedi.tips. They’ve just thrown Beehaw and sopuli.xyz and all the others in the same bucket.

      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

                  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.

    It doesn’t matter. The more people who use Lemmy, the more people will inevitably find Lemmygrad posts

      it’s more so just annoying having to check people’s handles to make sure I’m not wasting time writing a reply out that they won’t even see

        I know I’m beating a dead horse but I find it funny that beehaw claims they want to “help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.”. Meanwhile all marginalised minorities flock to communism and lemmygrad and their admin team is white person, white person, and white person.

          Well there are different degrees of how left you are, liking the CCP and the DPRK is too much for most, even communists

              Everyone has limits, for some it’s concentration camps. It’s not something tribal where you have to support someone because they call themself communists. You can agree in principle but not in execution

                I think the general consensus on this instance is that the actual execution isn’t the attrocity horror show that so many make it out to be: that capitalist dominance of media and education has either ridiculously distorted or outright fabricated many of the atrocities attributed to AES. This doesn’t mean people here like/support AES uncritically or unconditionally. However, the criticisms that will be levied against states/orgs here are going to be quite different from those of the more “libertarian” left.

                  I guess we disagree on that, I see no reason to make out some communist countries as hellholes (DPRK) while others like Cuba get a free pass. Other than that I consider DPRK leadership as more of a personal cult disguised with a communist state, and why communists would be compelled to defend that kind of stratification of society is beyond me
