Fake, that’s way too coherent and competent to have come from a CEO.

This reeks of astroturf. That’s a lot of effort to put into saying absolutely nothing of substance. I cannot assume in good faith impartiality.

The closest I ever found to love was a result of me being unapologetically myself. I was a terrible person but it turns out that someone was into that. By the end I was involved with someone else’s life by no effort of my own; exemplified by the fact that my first memory of them is a few years after their first memory of me. Sadly as I grew as a person we fell off and this time i’m finding it a lot harder to find someone who likes me.

You can make all the vague guesses you want, I’ve lived the experience and can say flat out the instance uses respectability politics to shut out criticism. Like it’s clear as day to anyone on the receiving end of that what they’re about.

All i’m trying to say is them defederating from lemmygrad tells you everything about that instance that you need to know. Hexbear I get, but grad holds themselves up to a way higher standard of comment quality and there was zero reason to defederate outside political. They literally only blocked the instance because they were communists who aren’t afraid to calmly debunk fascist propaganda with sources, and that’s an experience corroborated by literally anyone who has had the displeasure of interacting with their polite-fascist administration.

EDIT: the example you provided is not only completely useless as it guts the original intent of the message but is STILL too offensive for them, as bringing up fascism is already “killing the mood” more than enough for them to remove. Not only that they would accuse you of calling the OP a Nazi which is another way they can shut you down. Believe me I’ve dealt with liberal fascists my whole life i’ve heard it all.

How do you respectfully say “this is nazi propaganda?” You can’t. That’s the point. That’s why they do it.

Because you’re seeing them as an idealized object of desire, not as a person.

How to break out of this: think of a bunch of flaws they could have that would be challenging but not deal-breakers.

Kind of shares the same problem I had with Mobilizon in that none of the current instances are in my region, or my language for that matter.

I quote it nearly every day

There is no problem that can’t be solved by getting off Twitter

Hmm wonder why people would quit a circlejerk platform that bans people who call out when someone posts literal fascist propaganda.

It’s because beehaw mandates its positivity. I once called out one of their posts as being fascist and they banned me for being rude about it.

I feel like any place that forces people to be positive in a world where there’s so much injustice is always going to passively side with evil.

Either you value people above property, which makes you a socialist, or you value property above people, which makes you a fascist.

The Americans never fought the Nazis. The Nazis fought them.

You can and should help people denazify but you at no point should ever feel like you’ve won or that your views are popular, because they’re not. Anything you can do to make things better you should do, yes this even means if you have to align yourself with shitty people for a time. There’s some truth in that things are moving in the right direction because if they weren’t we wouldn’t even be seeing the symptoms at all.

You need to know that there’s a problem before you can do anything about it, and we have way too many people charging head first into danger thinking a communist revolution is just around the corner, when half of their base thinks that indigenous liberation is white genocide.

So yes, it’s fatalist. Shit really is that bad… in the west. The third world on the other hand has way more potential to set things right. Good ending they take power and nuke the first world, just to put things in prospective.

Everyone thinks they’re smart but once you open your mouth that’s when the truth will be revealed.

Really not much to say other than that the western left is fucked. If there’s ever a time where it feels like it isn’t, it’s because you’re being lied to.

I enjoy when the trash takes itself out. DELETED: I didn’t expect this comment to actually go through.
