Blahaj Lemmy Meta

I think the fact that they’re more active in this thread than the blahaj folks is fairly emblematic of the problem. They can't seem to help themselves with the brigading and they do seem to be drowning out local opinion with tankie rhetoric and spam.

EDIT: Just pointing out that if this were a blahaj exclusive thread you would get a very different sense of where popular opinion actually stands.

EDIT 2: I was initially pretty excited about federating with hexbear but I think after seeing the effect it has on the overall tone of discussion I'm pretty disappointed.

Not having downvotes does not, by any means, mean you need to post your disagreement. Our instance also does not have downvotes. You ARE drowning out exactly the sort of discussion this community is for. I can guarantee what you would like to say has already been posted and upvoting those posts and moving on IS the appropriate way to handle this issue in a meta community for an instance you are not a part of.

Have you been in the news communities of late? Any time Russia/Ukraine comes up they're flooding it with Russian apologia and silly emoticons.

to be on their best behaviour when engaging in communities outside of their instance

They weren't in Lemmy.ca, got defederated for shitposting, and being trolls over there.

This aged poorly lol

I stand with and support whatever you choose to do. I just thought I’d bring it up. Thanks for all you do!

My only complaint is the popularity might be crashing our instance lol, but they are cool.
