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.

    Is there any benefit/missed opportunity to having my account hosted on the non-political “liminal.space” if I am mostly going to be using it to follow and contribute to instances such as lemmygrad or hexbear? I have very little understanding of data privacy or content moderation or “data federation” (a brief search engine peruse didn’t explain a whole lot), and have just been getting into learning about anti-capitalism/socialism-communism throughout history from introductory channels on the boobtube. My instinct was to not host my account on lemmygrad, fearing that I would be put on a list somewhere by my dystopian surveillance state of a government. (I am leaving Reddit this week after having my milquetoast remarks regarding imperialism and military provocation get removed from a semi-political post (on a non-politics sub) related to the aftermath caused by the fascist candidate who has been playing a game of [nationalist] chicken with one of the 2 political parties in the country since losing his campaign for reelection)

      Having an account on the instance you visit most makes it slightly easier to browse it, and if your instance de federates from us you will not be able to interact with lemmygrad anymore, but aside from that it doesn’t change anything. You can make an account on either lemmygrad or hexbear too.

        I must add that the Liftoff app allows you to open the public local feed of any instance on your home regardless of your login credentials. You can even mix them with your actual instance

      As long as your instance federates with us, then there is no down side. You’re less likely to be put on watchlists, less likely to be censored, and more likely to be heard on other instances.
