Hahaha... I'm really glad that so many instances are blocking LemmyGrad.ml because those guys are major-league assholes. :)

*edit: For those of you who don't know what LemmyGrad is - it's tankies (they hate being called that, but that's the term for them)... hard-line communists who belittle anyone who isn't cool with mass-murder.

drop the dirt lol whats going on over there?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it's blocked we can't go over and see what's up lol

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Blocked is not quite the right word here. Nobody has blocked them. Nothing is stopping you from going over there to see the content they have. You can visit that instance directly and sign up on that instance if you like.

What is better to say is that they may not be federated with the Lemmy instance you connect to. This just means that your instance does not aggregate things from there and will not show the posts from that server in your feeds.

Right now the site is 404'ing, but this is not because of federation or blocking. Their site is just down for some reason.

[–] B4tid0 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hohoho wouldn't that be grand a /c/sublemmydrama With The tea.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

There's already a "Community Drama" community on at least one of the instances. Go to Communities and click "All" and then do a search for drama and see what comes up.

I don't know, but I tried to access it and got an error 404. We can't find out why it was blocked because it was blocked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

looks like we're in a pickle then. i'm sure something will come out eventually.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just hope someone will tell us what's up. The page didn't load, but the tab image has some soviet iconography, that coupled with the name is giving me an idea as to what's up.

Very Pro-China and Russia, and anti-Ukraine, from the one post I saw.

https://join-lemmy.org/instances -- not for joining, just for the logo to see. I mean ... what has Marxism the philosophy to do with tanks? How dishonest can one be with their beliefs?

It used to be called communism.lemmy.ml and it was ran by the lemmy devs. It exploded in popularity after r/genzedong was banned.

[–] MiddleWeigh 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hard communist rhetoric and shitty people apologists I think.

[–] jumperalex 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is LemmyGrad supposed to be some reference to Leningrad?

[–] MiddleWeigh 5 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure ya

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What's lemmygrad?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

tankies (they hate being called that

They literally have a tank in their logo! I always love some irony.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is - they pretend to "own" it... but they don't. They're VERY sensitive about being called tankies.
