Our instance is only defederated from one other instance and it's lemmygrad. My question is why? It doesn't seem like a hate group or anything as far as I can tell. Can someone fill me in?

I hope I posted this to the right place; still getting used to how lemmy works. If I should post elsewhere, let me know.

It is a hate group in a way, it’s just what they hate is the US, capitalism, “the west”, etc. And their solution is “bring back the ussr at any cost”, so you see a lot of “Ukraine was totally asking for it” and similar.

I get your point, but the US, capitalism and The West aren't protected characteristics.

I'm on the far left, I think Stalin Simps are silly and deluded. The tankie love over there is too much. Whilst I am critical of NATO and their role in flaming the ongoing conflict in Ukraine I'd in no way try absolving Russia of their actions either.

That doesn't sound like socialism at all, rather fascism with a hammer and sickle painted on its face

Ew. That sounds like a gross bunch of people.

@ieatpillowtags the difference is that none of the things you listed are individuals, hate groups are named because they hate people for who they are innately
