The biggest surprise for me was the https://hexbear.net count, an instance I hardly interact with.

What is hexbear? I never see it in my feed.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Think of it as the Tankie version of The Donald.

Horseshoe theory strikes again.

Political illiteracy strikes again

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I'm doing my best to learn the concepts but I have a ways to go.

Horseshoe theory is essentially Latte-Flavored horseshit

The horseshoe theory does not enjoy wide support within academic circles; peer-reviewed research by political scientists on the subject is scarce, and existing studies and comprehensive reviews have often contradicted its central premises, or found only limited support for the theory under certain conditions.[6][8]

Your instance is defederated from them

I only know it because it is often mentioned when talking about trolling

It's essentially where reddit's old Chapo Trap House community went after reddit banned them in 2020. It started federating with the rest of the fediverse some time last year, but there was a bit of a culture clash between it and some other larger instances and several of them defederated it

To be fair, that's because liberalism is closer to fascism than any sort of leftism, and many of these instances have a strongly liberal user base because many were with Reddit longer than most leftists were.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

It's an instance mostly based around authoritarian communism. They got banished from Reddit quite a bit before the black out.

It’s a leftist server. LW defederated from them months ago because they have some, well, interesting takes on things like the war in Ukraine. I can’t recall the exact cited reasons for defederation but I’m sure you could find the defederation post on lemmy world’s announcements page.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Most instance defederated from because they are tankies that talk a lot of bullshit. However, im not entirely sure if I would really call them leftists. More like communistic Authoritarians, yes, communism is something mound mostly in left communities, but not to sure if their takes on human rights for people with other opinions and stuff like that makes them really left.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I’d be comfortable calling many of them red fash but I was trying to be diplomatic.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

.world never federated with Hexbear from what I remember. I'm pretty sure they were on the block list before Hexbear got federation completed. There was no single incident as far as I know.
