Ok, this isn't really blahaj related and I think it has run its course.
Blahaj Lemmy Meta
Blåhaj Lemmy is a Lemmy instance attached to blahaj.zone. This is a group for questions or discussions relevant to either instance.
I know some of the lore but people have already answered that, so give you my experience, I joined it see what it's like, I reported something that broke there ToS, I was then thrown on a community called "dunk tank" or something like that.
I was new to lemmy and it said in what I thought messages was that I got a message and then I responded to it
Apparently it's against that community rules to respond to it
I was permanently banned
So, yeah hexbear is capitalist bootlickers who mask them selfs as communists.
Although tbh. Lemmy.world seems very capitalist loving but at least I don't get instant banned because I'm new. Never had any problems with Lemmy.ml in my experience, but also I have some problems with shit just works (or whatever its called)
thezeesystem
There is an account with that name on hexbear, it has a completely blank modlog, or are you talking about some other account?
Do you prefer North Korea and refer to South Korea as ‘Occupied Korea’? Those are the types of people on hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml
... no. I was banned from r/pyongyang on reddit lol
Hexbear is a instance run by communist that some people hate because we can be a bit loud and snarky about our politics. Super trans friendly though 👍
Edit: they are indeed heavily defederated which is why I choose to use a lemmy.ml account most of the time. I get to interact with them and most everyone else.
I can't see cm0002's post here from lemmy.ml, but I want to point out that nutomic was banned from hexbear because of those statements.
Edit: cm0002 has responded to me with bullshit, I don't care.
I do not know who either of those people are or what statements you refer to. I stay out of most of their drama

tldr: Nutomic (one of the main developers of lemmy, and therefore an admin on lemmy.ml) was transphobic.
Damn what a loser, does dessalines still associate with them?
I think so. Nutomic is still a dev
Thats really unfortunate, I thought they'd be better than that
There's plenty more evidence of y'all's behavior across the categories
!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works (but you can't see that one from .ml because .ml admins don't want you see it (talk about censorship))
^ Yea sure bud
Tankies = Authoritarian "Communists"
Nutomic has an instance ban on Hexbear. Otherwise it’s generally a bit of a sore point between them and ML/the devs that nutomic’s around at all.
Hexbear, Lemmygrad, .ml are all part of the Tankie Triad. The real rules are all unwritten and you'll never know them till your posts get removed and you're banned
Their support for trans is paper thin at best, this is what Nutomic, head dev, biggest Tankie and lead admin of .ml has to say about the trans community
It's a tankie space where people simp for authoritarian governments.
Lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear are the 3 most well known instances to house pro CCP and Putin loyalists
I'd recommend just blocking those 3 as you'll generally have a better time on the fediverse.
If you check !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com you'll find that the moderators themselves are the reasons why those instances are toxic
They are tankies. They like China and Russia because they're supposedly communist and ignore all the human rights violations.
It's hilarious, because no good communist would call Russia and the CCP communism.
I was thinking to myself isn't Russia today decidedly not communism
It’s not, and literally no one on those instances thinks that it is.
They defend it to their dying breath though
Show me one single example of it, then. You can’t, because they don’t.
They... dont. Pointing out why the war happened, and wanting the war to end: understanding that the only way for the war to end being through negotiations where Ukraine gives up things, and therefore saying that Ukraine should negotiate and end the war, can to some look like defending Russia, it is not.
It's amazing that when faced with sober geopolitical analysis, people mistake it for moral justification or dehumanization. You can't solve geopolitical issues without acknowledging geopolitics! Of course it was immoral for Russia to attack Ukraine, but shouting that into the void and expecting anything to change does not save Ukrainian or Russian lives.
Literally no one thinks post-1991 Russia is communist. Show me a single example.
True but I've also seen quite a few ml users defend russia invading ukraine and calling ukrainians vermin etc
Edit: That is to say, it's easy to think they think russia is communist when they celebrate them killing civilians as some sort of victory against imperialism
More "Insist the human rights violations are capitalist/western/CIA propaganda used to fuel a culture war". Which like yeah, the most effective propaganda is the truth and all that...
Hexbear was one of the earliest servers that is now part of the fediverse. It was started after chapo trap house was banned from Reddit.
Users there realized the danger of the rich being able to shut down online leftist spaces well before the first waves of reddit exodus.
They do not put up with the slightest whiff of transphobic bullshit and moderate & ban that crap swiftly.
You may hear some weird takes on the US's global adversaries, but you won't have to put up with weird takes on the US.
