What defederating would mean:
- We won’t see beehaw.org posts/comments on other instances.
Pros:
- There is less confusion, you can’t respond to a beehaw.org user, thinking they will be able to see your response when in reality they cannot.
Cons:
- We won’t be able to see any beehaw.org comments/posts on other instances, so we will miss out on some comment threads and posts. It could be good to be able to see them and interact with the other users there even though beehaw.org users won’t see any of our content.
Summary
Overall, I think it is better not to defederate, but simply unsubscribe from all of their communities (and as we no longer get posts from their instance, with time these will cease to appear on our ‘front page’).
beehaw.org users already can’t see our posts/comments anywhere so it’s not like defederating would change their experience in any way, so it wouldn’t really be retaliation and would just limit the content available to lemmy.world users.
What do you think?
They might claim it’s about ‘fascists’ but all of the drama so far has been about communists.
I’m not quite a raging lefty, but I’m definitely a lefty.
I would not class the goings on over at lemmygrad as “communism” at all. It’s absolutely unhinged pro-Russian flavour fascism. Marx would be rolling in his grave; nobody in their right mind should be glorifying anything Stalin did, ffs.
Stalin was of course a traitor to the revolution, however, there’s a complete double standard with how commies are always existed to answer for every bad thing that ever associated with socialism, but you don’t see anyone who self identifies as an American, liberal, etc etc ever be demanded to answer for slavery, genocide of the natives etc
Yeah I’m very far left and tankies piss me right off. They give socialism a bad name.
I think you mean trolls.
One can be a communist without being a troll. Many of us pull it off, like, 80% of the time.
These people seem to consider basically all disagreement as ‘trolling’.
