We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general (lemm.ee)

TO THE ADMINS: Read this thread and give me one good reason why federating with toxic, propaganda spreading tankie loons is a good idea.

No one wants those fucks, or the alt right dipshits for that matter, around, and they're spreading blatant lies, yet I see they are here. Does lemm.ee only care about boosting its numbers and is willing to sink to new lows to do it, I wonder? 🤔

The point of Lemmy is federation. If it doesn't solve your needs, then it's your responsibility to make the decision if it's a healthy ecosystem for you, and if you should keep using it or not.

No, the point of Lemmy is to replace Reddit, and if we're just going to get enabling admins who likely are tankies or being unduly influenced by tankies, then it is pointless.

I will NOT go away or be silenced. You will NOT demand I just put up with it or do the admins' job for them. It's their job to protect us from bad faith scumbags looking to fulfill a stupid political agenda and brainwash people.

Insinuating anyone who complains about abuse is the problem for complaining, not the abusive behavior is a tactic bad-faith actors always use to silence legitimate dissent. Are you here in bad faith? Because by doing it you sure sound like it

Lemmy was literally created by "tankies" and all the oldest instances have "tankie" admins.

I think you have some personal problems you want others to solve for you. But I don't have time to humor emotional outbursts, so I'll just wish you well and block you.

And this is how we know you're here in bad faith. Go sign up for Lemmygrad if you love them so damn much

Nah bro, you suck.

Nah fam, I personally want tankies here and I don't care if they spread propaganda, astroturf and gang up on anyone they don't like and generally cause trouble and you complaining makes me feel afraid they'll be defederated again, go away and stop threatening my friends' attempts to control popular instances

-You

If the point was federation then defederation wouldn't be an option.

Defederation is a tool available to instances to protect the greater fediverse
