Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

im so proud of you for this one, at least I know you're not in deep enough that you repeat the "LG and Hexbear are all chinese bots!?!?" cliche.

Still it hurts, can't you stroke our egos more like normal liberals do by pretending we're important enough for China to pay attention to us like that rage-cry

I've been active online and in an actual communist party for years now. I am yet to be approached by a Chinese or Russian official to be a paid shill. You'd almost think it is projection.

[โ€“] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just remember, in the US, Nazis have more rights than you. For example, protections under federal labor law specifically do not apply to communists. Great country, eh?

[โ€“] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have to specify you're a communist when you take a job in the US? Why not just say no anyway?

[โ€“] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 year ago

Government jobs, yes. Lying could result in jail time, in some cases. Jobs here are also known to pay people to search social media for dirt. Really just a matter of time before they decide to start trying to use it again to avoid wrongful termination fines.

More than anything, I think it's important to highlight how fucked up it is that it's still on the books and no equivalent anti-Nazi laws ever have been.

Wait till you see how much Wikipedia is edited from us military bases. Once again every accusation is a confession.

Lemmy.world people are leaving Lemmy because of Hexbear?

Good, that motivates me to post three times as hard. Sissypea money well spent xigma-male

Hey speaking of goat of shitjustworks, is it widely known that they're impersonating another fediverse user with completely opposite politics? They're not even just a user, they're an admin of a moderately large Mastodon instance. You'd think that would get a ban or something even from lib admins. Unless I've been the victim of some kind of psyop or something.

[โ€“] NormalC@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can't trust techbros to do anything it seems. Honestly, the scariest thing about this is that no mod/admin has actually stepped up to do damage control besides thread lock and wipe comments. Even Blahaj.zone managed to even get an admin response.

[โ€“] PaX@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeahh, at least Ada at blahaj (the head admin) seemed nice and wanted us all to get along. I was just arguing with one of the shitjustworks admins about some stupid hostile nonsense. Not only are they not doing damage control, they're actively making it more toxic.

??? Blahaj ban all "tankies" on sight, if that's "getting along" then i don't want to see how hostility looks (in an odd chance rabies might be contracted through internet).

[โ€“] PaX@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

If I understand the situation correctly... the issues (besides their userbase) were mainly with the moderator of their 196 community who was on that anti-tankie grindset. There was dialogue between Hexbear's admins and Ada about smoothing over the issues that developed but she wouldn't do anything about the 196 mod who was actively stirring up stuff or anything about the users saying horrible things to some of our users. So that's why we defederated.

[โ€“] NormalC@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ada took offense to "Death to NATO." When she was called out on it, she doubled down and said it's wrong to call for death to the "People of NATO." Hilarity followed and she got dunked on.

Moreover, 196 is such a shithole vaushite comm, if you block 196 in blahaj.zone it suddenly becomes bearable and nice.

Ohh right hehehe, I forgot about that part

Yeahh, 100 percent

How did lemmygrad end up defederated btw?

From what i understand, blahaj defederated by that 196 jerk, things were pretty cool, but he appeared and suddenly entire blahaj was on full crusade against us, also it looked he dragged down tons of his cronies or sockpuppets there to make a crowd since their threads were full of "fuck tankies" spam. Few days later they defederated so i assumed that dork have full control since everything went from 0 to 100 really fast exactly along his line.

[โ€“] PaX@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohh I see. That sucks :(

Maybe I'm naive and have an over-conciliatory attitude but I think things could've worked out for both our instances if it weren't for that 196 mod and a few other bad actors. Maybe in the future.

[โ€“] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

she herself is a bad faith actor, I made a post about this on cth when hexbear defederated: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1373636 https://hexbear.net/post/372543

[โ€“] PaX@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, you have some good points in there. I must have missed some of the drama.

I am so tired of the "anti-tankie" western left bullshit.

I AM! You didn't suspect the harmless reply bot, did you?

[โ€“] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lol, imagine thinking that Hexbear and Lemmygrad are funded right out of Big Man Xi's own pockets... No, the truth is actually that all the other Lemmy instances are funded directly by Spez in order to stomp out his competition!

[โ€“] roux@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 year ago

It's the same energy as saying everyone not alt-right is funded by George Soros. But don't tell the libs that.

I know overseas shipping is rough, but I've been a China shill for about 4 years. Either China really is capitalist and they're outright stealing my wages, or my check's still en route. Regardless, I'm pretty pissed off. All this PRCposting and I haven't seen a single fucking yuan.

Sucks to be you, Xi is paying me 1ยฅ per post

I can show you how, just go to https://ytmnd.com.on.nimp.org (don't actually do this)

Nah, itโ€™s well established CPC doesnโ€™t pay bots

[โ€“] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (3 children)

wait, are we funded by the CPC or Russia? im confused, how am i gonna know what im supposed to post?!

[โ€“] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (11 children)

It's simple: the Russian and Chinese governments are actually one.

I mean, think about it: have you ever actually been to Russia and China? I mean, sure you've met people who claim to be "Chinese" or "Russian" online or maybe in the street, but they're all getting paid by the government of the Sino-Soviet Socialist Republic, too. See, there was no Sino-Soviet split, actually, but rather a union โ€” the whole split was actually a farce meant to trick the United States into believing that the socialist world was more fractured than it actually was. The USSR never actually dissolved, and there is no war in Ukraine, either โ€” that's just a way of tricking NATO into giving billions of dollars and countless firearms and so forth to the mighty SSSR.

The entire territory of the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Mongolian People's Republic, the United Socialist Republic of Indochina, and the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan, are all one big glorious nation. This fact must never become known to the capitalist west! It is in fact the most masterful and ingenious part of the godless communist strategy to subjugate the entire globe under the mighty, terrible heel of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat!

[โ€“] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The CPC is doing most of the funding, but Russia agreed to contribute bot technology to CPC if we would support Russia despite being a capitalist state. This scheme worked quite well, and Lemmygrad today is full of pro-Russian commenters.

thanks for explaining comrade! sometimes you have to make compromises for the movement: the USSR allied with britain and amerika to defeat fascism. its simpler on hexbear, weโ€™re funded by george soros, so we just have to be massive liberals

[โ€“] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Internal CPC rumors suggest funders of both Lemmygrad and Hexbear can be found shitposting on Hexbear. This seems to include @XiJinping@hexbear.net and @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net (obviously George Soros himself) at minimum.
