Am I the only one that doesn't really know much about instance politics?
The only instance-level things I'm aware of are that ml is largely seen as tankies, and hexbear was annoying for some reason I don't remember before it got defederated from most places. I'm just here for the content until I hear something untenable about one.
Lemmy.ml, Lemmygrad.ml, and Hexbear.net all have a large number of Marxists. Some people don't like that, and defederate from them, those instances that defederate from the Marxists typically being right-wing instances.
The "annoying thing" I was grasping at trying to remember wasn't even political. It was more like spam, or just outright trolling, it something like that. I remember getting irritated, and I didn't think Marxists usually rub me that way. I'm also not an expert on Marxism beyond the surface.
Tbf I might be mixing it up with a different one. I wasn't really paying attention to instance drama.
Hexbear tends to be confrontational towards liberalism, but this was labled as "trolling" as an excuse for instances like Lemmy.world to defederate.
That sounds about right. This was happening when I was on SJW, so it tracks.
aka facists
Frequently, yes, fascists are on instances like sh.itjust.works or feddit.org.
No, im in the same boat. My instance was on of the turds, but it was the first one that let me make an account and the verification email showed up. I have no idea whats wrong with shitjustworks.
It hosts far-right communities like NonCredibleDefense and MeanwhileOnGrad, the head admin thinks social progeessivism and trans rights movements in the west are funded by Russia and China to undermine the west, and many mods are Zionists. An individual member may be fine, but the overall character of the instance is cryptofash.
I had one there, lost access to it.
I thought noncredibledefense was just satire of the right.
I mean I have no problem leaving one if it becomes like synonymous with some shitty shit, but I don't really care to dig much into it in general.
I'm panicking about too much else for now.
NCD is filled with NATO stans and sycophants for western imperialism. Lemmy.zip is fine, in that it's actually a generalist instance, unlike sh.itjust.works.
TIL.
Honestly, it's kinda funny that they're so close to being memes that I couldn't even tell they're not.
Before I submit, I feel I need to clarify that I don't mean actually funny, but, well, you know what I mean. The dark timeline version of funny.
No I understand. Sometimes they do use irony, but these certainly aren't leftists of any sort, they do support the west and western imperialism.
