I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    They listed stances common to communists

    That’s probably true – quite a few things in those quotes

    as an example of what to defederate from

    This is the lie.

      Why did they bold the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc? It certainly wasn’t because it was telling users to wage ideological war, it was to highlight unacceptable ideology.

      Stop sealioning.

        They actually didn’t bold it lol. But let’s assume you meant “include”.

        Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

        Why would Lemmy World admins want to sign up for that? And why do you keep pretending that they just wanted to federate and be chill?

          They did bold it:

          It isn’t bolded in the original text:

          Either you’re lying, like you keep accusing everyone else, or you don’t care enough about the truth to check. In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning.

            the line about the left wanting to dismantle the IMF, NATO, etc

            Literally nothing in that line is bolded. Maybe get your eyes checked?

            Or I’m right, and you do lie about things you post for some reason.

            In both cases it’s clear you’re sealioning

            I thought you might not know what that meant, but now I know you don’t.

            Notice you have nothing to say about the actual meat of what I said though. And we all know why that is.

              I showed you images of them bolding the part about the left’s interests in their quotations. You can drop the act, I posted photo evidence of it.

                Let’s try this again:

                Why did hexbear include it in their announcement? Why highlight an ideology they want to target while specifically telling their userbase, who they acknowledge are trolls, to try and play nice during the propaganda war on this new (to them) instance? Could it be that they are manufacturing an archetype of the average Lemmy World user?

                Why would Lemmy World admins want to sign up for that? And why do you keep pretending that they just wanted to federate and be chill?
