the lamey.world "pre-emptive/last resort" defederation drama has been the funniest thing imo. i imagined federation with such a big-tent 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.

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 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.

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

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.

We get to have fun again

i was worried about federation before but i've thoroughly enjoyed three separate instances of lost s getting dunked on just today! it's great fun, i'm totally with ya

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.

Tag yourself I'm a puppet muffin!

You turdmuffin. You crapwaffle.

What is this, 2007?

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

Ruzzia

First thing I thought of

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.

So good

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