There was only one thing I missed about the old CTH subreddit, and that was that we would occasionally get a lost lib that would stumble in and start calling us Putin lovers or some shit. It was always really funny watching them expect to bring the reddit debate shit in only to be completely not be taken seriously at all.

Well, they're back baby!

RUZZIA! data-laughing

the lamey.world "pre-emptive/last resort" defederation drama has been the funniest thing imo. i imagined federation with such a big-tent LIB instance would involve wreckers and some crafted-over-time pre-text for shutting us out.

instead, they push the button before we even connect, call out our mod message of "be polite in other instances" and "NATO is shitty, actually", creating a struggle session amongst their own users, locking their own post, and banning complainers as hex-alts like some Q-brain trying to huff the Smell of Freedom while standing in the Cavortex.

their deranged leadership outed their instance as the vanity project of some reactionary autocratic westoid chauvinist. straight up own-goal from midfield.

I like how they believe that the only way a dissenting opinion can exist, is if the person was paid for it, because they're so used to a political system where opinions being bought is the norm. think-about-it

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 70 points 11 months ago

To be serious; I think you're right Dirt_Owl, the missing ingredient from the old sub is the happenstance of libs. Up until now we've had like... haters show up, but we finally get the stray clueless wandering through we've been missing.

RUzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz because I fell asleep.

I endorse "Because Ruzzia already looks bad you bran and turd stuffed puppet muffin" for a site header.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 53 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The "... hope you were paid well" got me too. Calling us Russian bots and everything lmao. These people actually exist susie-laugh

What's next, a Xi Winnie the Pooh and social credit joke? Calling Trump Drumf and Putin Putler? Why do these guys think getting names wrong is some kind of own?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 51 points 11 months ago

They operate under the idea that Putin and Xi care about what Americans (and it's almost always Americans) think about them

Buddy, I got news for you, they don't give a shit if you make fun of them

It's futile, like an ant trying to bite the sun

The truth - that we are wasting our finite time on Earth arguing with clueless assholes of our own volition - is of course much sadder

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

I don't argue with people

I say weird shit or insult them and then ignore them

If they want to think I care about them, that's a personal choice

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

bran and turd stuffed puppet muffin

Honestly a good insult. Respect for that one

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

To me it gives off the sames vibes as the Mango Mussolini shit, but at the very least that's new, innovative, and has good mouth feel.

6/10

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago

It has the jesse-wtf vibe that the orange man jokes lack.

Usually the libs are far less creative, so I respect the innovation over "Putin shill" or w/e

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

OH my mistake for being unclear I was referring to Stuffed Puppet Muffin with my compliments. They managed to overcome the initial cheeto joke hurdle to surpass mediocrity

Watching the stray libs being heckled has definitely been my favorite part.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 59 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've read the !chat@hexbear.net post about the "Ukrainian Nazis" statement in source code, and I have to hand it to you guys. You are better at engaging stray libs than us, fucker was swarmed with genuine replies and the occasional ppb.

[-] comfy@lemmy.ml 45 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's a rhetorical technique known as the PPB sandwich. Bait them with productive counterpoints, hit them with the ppb, then soften the exit with further civil discussion.

Soon enough we will be seeing it within single replies.

[-] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

And then, if they pull some classic, 'Oh I just wanted to help you, but clearly you are too far gone' you really barbeque them, because it's funny.

I get to post again! When CTH went private on reddit I couldn't join for some reason. Even though I had several posts in the upper 2000s. Glad to be back!

[-] ElGosso@hexbear.net 32 points 11 months ago

Closing the sub as a joke was not okay

I propose a flat system of unbanning liberals if they publicly post this:

the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.

There should be a megathread for bans appealed through this process.

There is a certain elegance to comments from 14 year olds that just learned how to combine words to make softball insults.

The failure of Russia is a failure of capitalism. The very thing they decry is the thing they uphold.

looking forward to defederating with everyone.

Have a feeling federation is a fad, but really can’t be fucked to care enough one way or the other.

NOO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US. 😭😭😭

YOU DON'T HAVE TO RECREATE THE SINO-SOVIET SPLIT PLEASE. 😭😭😭

Edit: Wait a fucking moment. Account made 2 days ago? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 37 points 11 months ago

I'm looking forward to when we've purged enough libs and fascists that the real infighting can begin. Until then, left-unity-4

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago

lmao our devs worked too hard to unleash us on the unsuspecting lemmyverse

Agreed wholeheartedly. It's nice when The_Dunk_Tank has volunteers that walk in, sit down, and wait to be dunked. sicko-pig
