ACAB. Nothing good will come from inviting state-violence into this.

mathemachristian just pinged me with the results of his investigation proving that this is a fake

This reinforces my thoughts that this was an deliberate disinfo attempt, and the feddit crowd felt for it hook, line and sinker. Just pathetic when the whole charade collapsed under the smallest of pushes, and ffs, who seriously tries to paint anarchists as neo-nazis?
For anyone who's going to try this again, a reminder that I have an online presence going back 20+ years, or which 17 of them was in anarchist spaces as well and I've been consistent in my beliefs all this time. You're going to have to try harder than that to prove I've been playing a long game of a couple of decades...
Reddit and Xitter has shown us that humans are extremely "sticky" creatures unfortunately. It takes a lot of effort and pain to get people to change their habits.
I'm leaving this up because you did get affected by a mod action, but please try to follow the posting guidelines next time without trying to start drama about unrelated topics.
They won't be able to access it with a lemmy.world account though as lemmy.world has blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
!flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com same thing but maybe not as active
I've been called a liberal and I've been called a tankie and I've been called an anarkiddie, but it's the first time someone calls me neo-nazi. I'm apparently all political positions at the same time.
I'm not certain that's true anymore. The early times of the rexxodus were something else. Most of the people doing outreach are not suggesting L.W anymore and power users like blaze are constantly agitating to move comms away. Plus the fact that the mod team of l.w. is rapidly losing quality and trust is also pushing more and more people away. I just don't think L.W. hoovers everyone anymore. The paradigm has changed. In fact lemmy as a whole is not gaining as many users as piefed.
And if that were true and people defaulted to l.w. right now, defederating would be even worse, as these wouldn't even know we exist.
Sorry but I just don't agree that pre-emptive defederation is the right play here. Even with reddit, we still do outreach and try to remind people lemmy exists and that they should move. I think it's better to keep federated and continue agitating for people and communities to migrate away.
I mean, as much as I like to pile on PTBs, they're only driving their own users away from their instance. A defederation because their admins keep abusing their power isn't sufficient imho, because they can't do anything significant. I feel like defederation should be reserved for cases where their userbase behaviour is overall harmful, such as bigotry, or speech which would drive away marginalized people from our instance to avoid seeing it. Having one of their mods degrade their own instance trust, doesn't do that and if anything would prevent their users from seeing our agitations.
That's my take on this.
OK but this is just hearsay though. I'd rather pick up the pitchforks about something more solid.


What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little peach?
