      Is that why Hexbear and Lemmygrad were blocked? Hexbear being one of the largest and most active overtly trans-positive instances, and Lemmygrad being the largest explicitly Marxist Instance?

      You’re just calling them pedophiles now rather than even entertain the idea that .world just doesn’t like Communists.

      You’re treating Communism like liberals treat gay people, fine and supportive until they actually have to see gay people and complain about representation in TV and movies.

        Blocked for being antisocial? Yes. If it was about being trans then Blahaj would have been blocked a long time ago.

        If anything, I’m complaining about bad communist tropes dominating the media representation, and by that I mean leninists.

          It isn’t a trope if the vast majority of Marxists also agree with Lenin worldwide, lmao.

          It’s blatantly anticommunism, not just because people are “antisocial.” You’re like a republican with a token gay friend that complains about the LGBTQ community dominating everything these days, lol. It’s sad, just own up to being anticommunist.

            When I say antisocial behavior I’m not talking about ideology but historical actions like banning people posting literal facts about tiananmen or any other historical event. When responses fail to acknowledge actual history that is brought up, then it is likely working from a reactionary framework.

              Then ban the users, don’t defed. As it stands, .world is anticommunist and censors all communists it can.

                Many other servers asked them to clean house but they refused, hence the defed. Wild how the ones deleting and banning users are the victims of censorship here 🙄

                    And? I was over at Blahaj when this stuff went down so admittedly things played differently in different parts of the fediverse. Even so, the details of how things escalated should not distract from the behavior that is central to the conflict: ML engaging in censorship motivated by personal ideology instead of making an attempt to be objective.
