I blocked it the moment I saw it.

[–] Catpocalypse@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 years ago

This is the way.

[–] thefool@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

I thought about that but having never looked too much into that subreddit, was curious to see what kind of garbage they spew before blocking

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm kind of disappointed I can't downvote now, but oh well. Looks like others are doing the lords work haha

Still a badge of honor. Kind of like getting banned from r/conservative lol

[–] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 59 points 2 years ago (3 children)

You're totally getting banned from c/conservative as soon as they figure out how to use Lemmy.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I picture Hank Hill trying to play PlayStation with Bobby before giving up.

[–] cptapathetic@rustyshackleford.cfd 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Nah Hank can game, I mean remember how much he was slaying on Pro Pain? (also I'm wanting to build a community of KOTH fans so join me at !koth@rustyshackleford.cfd if you're interested)

I just plainly asked "is this ironic?" and my comment was removed. No response.

Can you not even handle that?

[–] Jenga@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like some salty snowflake came through and downvoted every comment here, I've never seen so many lol. What a baby

[–] thekrevfox@kbin.social 32 points 2 years ago

Trump nuts are the real snowflakes. They get upset at you without even a word needing to be said.

Remember spray yourself in Bud Light to keep the pests away.

So you were canceled? Hypocrites.

[–] siskourso@odin.lanofthedead.xyz 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is there a list anywhere of these shit instances we can block?

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 16 points 2 years ago

Exploding-heads.com is full of awful communities.

[–] administrator@lemmy.pro 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Maybe it’s a bad community but not a whole bad instance?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago

It's hosted on our instance, so correct.

[–] siskourso@odin.lanofthedead.xyz 8 points 2 years ago (5 children)

ah ok, well question still stands if anyone knows of a list of instances to block like that.

The call is coming from inside the house on this one

[–] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've only found the one that's a bunch of liberals cybersquatting the name of the former trump reddit sub.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh please turn it into a satire community.

[–] sgtlighttree@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago

... and watch it become not-satire and then fully serious

It's gonna need some careful moderation to keep it fully satire methinks

[–] iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Did you know that's how r/thedonald actually started? It was meant to be satire but it attracted those who were serious and look at what happebed.

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Only post pics of Donald Glover, Donald Duck, etc...

[–] administrator@lemmy.pro 5 points 2 years ago

What instance is it on? Would like to shitpost a little :p

I've noticed that instances christian, maga, conservative, and theDonald all have low counts comparatively to most instances. The highest I saw the other day was 120 or so but most were like 40-80

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That's probably because of a mixture of things:

  • younger people are more likely to try out new SM
  • younger people are more likely to be liberal
  • many people here are fleeing from other SM that skews liberal (mostly Reddit)
  • the founders were largely socialist, so liberals probably felt more at home in the early days

At least that's my take.

That said, I want nothing to do with maga-style communities.

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'll add that younger people are more likely to be targets of conservative animosity / demonized, not necessarily more liberal.

You forgot that Russian troll fans haven’t yet infiltrated Lemmy, but if the bot Registration reports are real, they’re on their way.

[–] YeetTheRich@dataterm.digital 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reactionaries from different nations are heads of the same hydra. Russian tankies, USA magas, west Asian ISIS, etc . . . they all suffer from the same character flaws.

Those "russian" bots and troll farms are likely funded by American tankies/conservatives/terrorists.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Those “russian” bots and troll farms are likely funded by American tankies/conservatives/terrorists.

Just the opposite, American tankies/conservatives/terrorists are actually partially funded by Russia. It's part of the plan outlined in Foundations of Geopolitics and there have been numerous instances of conservative organizations and individuals receiving money from Russian agents. The NRA I believe has gotten some nice sums from Russia.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Sad to hear they found Lemmy.

[–] thefloatingpoint@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just shitposted into one and got countered surprisingly witty. Yeah. A lot of those are Satire communities, at least atm.

[–] fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Pretty sure r/TheDonald started as a satire community and it evolved into one of the largest white nationalist movements the world has ever seen.

[–] Nude@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like the nazis on 4Chan 10-15 years ago. They were debate threads for the sake of arguing. Same with the flat earthers there. It was for the argument, not the points made.

Then people didnt get it and it became real.

I got banned in one comment. Took me 3 to get the boot on Walkaway, lol

[–] d4rknusw1ld@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn they’re already banning folks lol.
