No you don't understand, it wasn't 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.

Not really. Defederating prevents me from caching material I do not want to and reduces the load on moderation and on the servers. All those people are free to make accounts on this instance or another we are federated with and it wouldn't be ban evasion. Federating Lemmy.world greatly increases the cost of running a server due to their old version and large amount of centralized activities that pegs out postgresql and I disagree with the admins and scope of lemmy.ca and believe them to be irresponsibly squandering their grant and do not want to provide them content. Nearly all of the trolling and problem users are on those two instances and if vegans want to see this content I'm glad to push them to make an account elsewhere.

I am blocking you, I remember you from discord and I'm not sure what you intent was here but it seems hostile and I don't want to absorb that from you. I think it was your intent in which case enjoy the block and feel free to not post here, if that wasn't maybe you need to take some time off line to evaluate how to more effectively communicate. This isn't the first time that your communication style has made myself and others annoyed and upset.

Edited.

OK that's fine, I don't really care and updated the post. I know they're the same person, I know this person pretended to be my friend in matrix then instead of discussing something they didn't like with me went nuclear with harassment on me, I know they posted about me in a thread designed to draw harassment to us, I know they consistently talk about this instance being "tankie." Today they posted a meme about this community "loving Putin"

Alliegaytor is right, after the cats thing they were appointed a mod of the vegan comm then banned hundreds of people with a bot or something. All that said, who the fuck cares. I should have never let anyone use the c/vegan comm here for any other reason and deleted it which was my intent a long time ago. I don't care about vegan "news" or articles and I think all the lemmy c/vegan communities are boring as fuck. This instance predates them and that and exists mostly for veganhomecooks.

For what its worth the grip of the US propaganda machine has has over the minds of liberals about Putin is intense. He is undoubtedly a bad person who I would never support, all oligarchs and billionaires are evil people who get rich by exploitation. He is a tool of the American establishment that put him power after they overthrew the SU and installed Yeltsin. The US is part of a globalized capitalist empire that he wants to be part of and is another corrupt billionaire among many. It is the weirdest cope by people living in the imperial core for their own lack of democracy and power in their own communities across the US, Canada and Europe to blame him and Russia for everything. The blame lies on the fascist consolidation of power over the past 80 years that destroyed all the leftist movements across the Global North not propaganda since 2016. Putin didn't brainwash everyone to play into his masterful hands by manipulating Lemmy with barely 40k MAU; the US, Canada and Europe (Which includes Russia) are evil places built by exploiting indigenous people, African slaves and the global south to extract all their wealth to build their vast empires then slowly and meticulously dismantled all localized power structures that could pose any threat during the cold war. We are now witnessing their collapse from the innate cannibalization of oligarchical authority and capitalism. Putin is one of their club mates in oligarchy and US has been headed towards this collapse since the 1970s when Putin was barely 20. It is the people who attack leftists and are whipped up in a frenzy about ghost tankies that are the victims of state propaganda. What bothers me about being called a tankie is that I can recognize that, the tankies are smeared in this way because they are a threat to state power. They are the cause of the revolution in my country and the Islamic Republic came in at the end and seized power during the vacuum. The fact that revolutionary energy is directed towards being mad at tankies is state control.

Honestly I don't know too much about the mod drama, Just about the vegan cats and the deleting the account because they couldn't take the heat. I was asked to life boat these people on a community on my server and they went nuclear on me when I polled my own community about the defed of sh.itjust.works. I saw how they manipulated threads with their alts, they immediately posted about me on lemmy.world/c/tankiejerk with one of them, with the manipulated votes. It was always the same few voting on their threads with accounts that have similar posting patterns, this is how I have a list of them. There are others too, probably on most instances. For a while me and another user had them all tagged and watched it in real time. It is really unhinged behavior. I assumed they were a mod then because they became one here when the users came over. I know for a fact they did something similar now and then appointed their Aqua account after more heat came their way. That's in the modlogs lol.

I just have this account and I used to have an account on lemmy.zip but I deleted it. I find less and less enjoyment on lemmy every day and the internet in general. I have grass to touch. I've been trying to hike the length of this arroyo

They manipulated the votes on the threads (I can see them as an admin) then deleted the account when they thought they lost. They never relinquished control though and appointed their second account. They did the same thing again then used their aqua alt to stay on the lemmy.world/c/vegan modlist. This is just immature behavior and if you can't handle the heat don't cause the drama. Don't draw a target on vegan's heads if you are completely unable to counter the trolling and bad faith arguments that come your way. This instance is primarily focused on us and ourselves, what we are reading, what we are cooking, what we are working on and all this stuff is out of scope for this instance. Sometimes I like to post memes to other instances but to think that me not liking America, a country I was raised in, makes me a tankie and that... I support the Soviet Union using tanks to suppress Hungarian fascists(?) makes no sense to me. I don't support the Soviet Union, or modern Russia, or the US, or Ukraine, or even the country I stay in. I hate countries and borders.

On my end I don't want to own a server that caches material I find repugnant, I get smeared as a tankie but anarchists don't support governments. The word tankie on Lemmy has become meaningless and just means "leftist I don't like" and it is frankly annoying. We don't federate with lemmy.world because before we disabled downvotes we were getting punished by downvotes even on pictures of food. The instance is too large for the good of the architecture of lemmy, the mods and admins do not share values with me, and their users and posts I find to be spam. Frankly I'd turn off federation at this point except the new version is going to remove votes completely (optionally) and we're going to try that first. Lemmy.ca was used on multiple occasions to post about us in their drama community, I think it is irresponsible to host communities like this. This unhinged user got mad at me because I wanted to defed sh.itjust.works when I saw "joke" posts about using chemical weapons and supporting military defense contractors, I find this repulsive and do not want this cached on my server, I have since learned I can block single communities and do so now.

Personally I don't think it is vegan to have any sort of entrapped animals in your home but also don't focus on this as part of my activism or discussions. There are other targets and priorities at this point in history.

Sit down for this everyone. Someone from the Ukrainian Lemmy server didn't like my meme and removed their endorsement of this server. I know, I know it is extremely hard to take this news and I'm sorry that we lost this thing I never knew we had.

Nah, they have the texture of fruit leather and completely dissolve in water. A few brands make them like Seventh Generation, Earth Breeze and Ecos

It is a mastodon server with the soapbox front end and federation disabled.

With all the hand wringing about Threads, Truth Social has to be the worst mastodon server by far. Good thing federation is turned off lol.

I personally would feel weird collecting rent money from my girlfriend that provides me equity. Did you ask her what she thinks?

I really like these too, I bought like a multi years supply of them and they fit in a pocket I hang on my laundry door and haven't fucked with liquid detergent or bottles since 2022

Achieved nothing? Who said I was trying to achieve anything but posting a stupid meme? It is a joke that I put together while I was taking a dump
