I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I'm almost certain they'll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The previous thread definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but what do y'all think?

The current top comment is:

Every instance that has talked shit and got dogpiled should be thanking us for breathing some life into their dead and boring ass websites.

Honestly that just seems like people reading too much into things

That's what this whole thing has been, beginning to end. Sometimes deliberately so.

It's not ok to wish death on people. It is ok to wish for the downfall of oppressive organisations. Some people believe the latter is only achievable through the former, and use "motte and bailey" ambiguity to say the latter but mean the former.

That line is the point of disagreement, and because I do disagree, people used the often deliberate ambiguity to paint me as ignorant.

The truth is, it doesn't matter what I said, because that ambiguity (by design) makes it impossible to navigate without meaning getting lost. And because of the nature of hexbear, as soon as I was seen as even implicitly "defending NATO", it was open season

It’s not ok to wish death on people.

Would you like me to try to explain again why I disagree, or should I just tuck my arms and pout about it?

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I get why you and others disagree. What I don't understand is why so many people insist that I have to be ok with wishing death on really bad people too, or otherwise I deserve the shit that happened in that other thread.

It seems like a really strange point to turn on someone over...

I guess people are just growing more and more tense nowadays, "There's something in the air", I always say. I'm really sorry that all that happened.
