Why are they so big on other instances haha

! !

lemmy.world has defederated from Hexbear, presumably because they're tankies or something. This is unacceptable comrades, we need to double our tankie posting powers, President Xi isn't paying us for this kind of lackluster performance!!!

Edit: get a load of this shit lol https://lemmy.world/post/2498330

It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

Would like for us to get ahead of this instead of having to scramble

no I will not elaborate

Mostly focuses on shounen and how it appeals to boys and young men, he links some other more femme centered vids in the description

Hexbear is far more likely to have users entering and using our comms, being another large socialist instance, albeit dedicated to left unity rather than Marxism like ourselves. I think there is enough of a culture change that we need to have a pinned post for hexbear users coming here explaining what kind of content/attitudes they might see here/what different rules to follow

There should also be a section dedicated to explaining to lemmygrad users to respect hexbear comm rules and what to expect from their users etc.

I think this would help ease any potential cross site struggle sessions

Get a load of this user, supposedly this comm is supposed to be making fun of reactionaries doing the "vuvuzuelaiphone" thing but suspiciously is posting nothing but anti tankie memes, curious 🤔

Edit: to be 100% accurate because I'm not a liberal, it appears that the comm name is misleading and it's just a general meme sub for "leftists", still quite funny that the only memes they're posting are anti tankie memes

https://lemmy.ml/c/leftism

Another totally serious and not laughable community. Why do reactionaries like this think they're leftist?

Not in the general writing way, but in writing fics that best portray socialist values and messages (although I do think we should try and do writing workshops to improve the general quality of our writing as well!)

I've seen socialists express concerns before about the idea of fanfiction, in that many stories enforce the ideas of liberalism, like great man theory, and if you're going to change the story enough to follow socialist messaging, you might as well write your own stories with new IP.

I disagree, I like the idea of co-opting ideas that have captured the public's imagination (and honestly, a lot of fandoms mean a lot to me. I don't want to give it up to liberals lol). Also, I do think a little liberalism can still be ok, like great man theory, if the original story permits it. Naruto, for instance, as a story the power levels of ninjas who can use chakra vs those who can't means they can have an outsized influence on politics. So a question would be, could we balance that? Is it possible, or do we need to depower the characters?

Do y'all think we could come up with some guidelines to help people write socialist/socialist fanfiction that doesn't fall into this trap? Like, how best to analyze the world the original author has set up, and how to best describe the class relations, etc.

> Some of the instances that we have chosen to defederate with have explicit political stances and ideologies. Their political stance and ideology had nothing to do with the choice to defederate. The choice to defederate was based on the amount of hate speech present on the instance and/or explicitly endorsing it.

What fucking hate speech, you weasly, lying shitlib. Your kind cheers on Russian deaths, calling them “orcs”, then you have the audacity to accuse us of hate speech? Go on, make more orientalist posts about China, and then come back and lecture us on hate speech.

The only “hate speech” I have is the hate for your dogshit, genocidal politics.

Our instance explicitly disallows and bans bigotry, and he’s going around posting this shit

Edit: And thinking about it more, the admins are basically agreeing going "fuck the devs we would switch off if we could", after everything the devs did to placate them, offering to pay for server hosting, putting them and not us on the reccomended server list, explicitly pinning posts asking people to go else where, and they're still shitting on them for "muh evil tankies!!!". The devs should have never listened to these whining liberals, and I think should maybe defederate from beehaw themselves like holy fuck you can't trust liberals for anything

I actually found this little trilogy from a thread in lemmygrad a few months ago, I genuinely enjoyed it a ton. Shame it hasn't been updated in a year when it's so close to the end, but that's just fanfic for you I guess

Sorry if this is a little spammy, I'd just like everyone to have the chance to see this!

Hey everyone, I've created this community to hopefully help facilitate the spread of socialist fanfiction!

I've been an avid reader of fanficiton since I was 13, but since becoming a socialist I've become more and more disappointed with how liberal the vast majority of fanfiction writing is (fiction in general, really). So, maybe by having a community dedicated to it here, we can combat some of that!

Thanks admins, for keeping the most deranged anticommunists and others out of here, it's made being here an awesome experience <3

I’d like to hear thoughts from more informed comrades on this, is this real (and when will I get to see more billionaire executions if it is), or just more bullshit?

I really hope beehaw is slow to block them, those shitposters are feral

edit: bad news, they say they're not even going to be federating at first and when they do it will probably just be with us :( I wanted to see the confusion from libs interacting with maniacs on that instance

Kind of amazing how many instances are blocking lemmygrad as soon as they're created. I know that liberals really don't like dissenting opinions but goddamn

So I realized that lemmygrad must be banned in beehaw's instance list, but I can still see beehaw user comments in lemmy.ml communities, if I respond to them can they see my comment?
