I’ll start the popcorn machine 🍿
I’m tired of having to screen the same shit every time a new instance spins up with morons like this.
I’m glad they’re defederated because they were by far the most screened communities I had in my list prior to learning that Connect just has it’s own internal server blacklist and I was able to put their instances on that list globally instead of playing whack-a-mole.
That’s something I kind of hate about the fediverse is that every time somebody spins up a new instance I have to go play whack-a-mole again with the usual suspects: sports and politics.
These assholes came out on day fucking one and did nothing but demonstrate that their goal was to be disruptive trolls. And then they sit there and whine about how everyone else is brainwashed, and nobody wants to listen to alternative points of view. That alternative point of view, apparently being pictures of pig shit.
And then they are shocked that people think they are assholes.
Day one was three years ago. You’re a bit late.
They are communists that don’t want anything to do with the real world. Good riddance.
Blocking them will just serve to isolate them more. You don’t solve problems by closing off everyone who disagrees with each other into a thousand little bubbles.
Okay, so what problems have been solved by giving platforms to extremists?
Bye tankies, you won’t be missed

You like them posting pictures of pig shit? Real high quality conversation.
I can deal with them posting links to Lenin or Jacobin or whatever, but they literally just come in and post the same picture of actual pig shit over and over again. These are not people who have any interest in good faith conversation.

Personally, I’m against defederation for political reasons. This feels like a mistake that will serve only to reinforce echo chambers online.
They weren’t “defederated for political reasons”. What they were doing wasn’t good faith political speech. They were trolls who’s only purpose was creating chaos. If you’re really dedicated to their actions this is the fediverse, you can create an account there and read and participate as much as you want. Every user can decide for themselves if there is anything of any value there. I don’t think so so I’ll be staying right here.
Woohooo!!! Free at last!!!
There’s a certain irony to celebrating the admins building a wall between two communities as “freedom”.
If a community exists only to cause issues and inflame culture warrior issues (such as anti-woke,) they don’t deserve to be given an honest chance.
Honest chances exist for honest people. If they refuse to abide by the common rules of decency, and instead want to treat the place like /b/, we have no obligations to let them be heard.
