they were banning anyone who didn't support Ukraine
I will never apologize for antifascism.
Is this dork serious? This is the point where I seriously wondered if this was an impersonator. If a self‐proclaimed anarchist can just gloss over a military dictatorship’s blatant neofascism, then holding a more tolerant and reasonable stance towards the people’s republics should most definitely not be incompatible with anarchism.
Raddle is the distillation of the anarchist into the most concentrated form of brain-wormed online anarkiddie that spews the most toxic, vile, and backwards bullshit seen in any realm of "leftism".
Thank fuck they're contained in their echo chamber.
I was actually a moderator on that website many years ago. After seeing the repeated fanfare for ‘postciv’ (basically a defeatist philosophy that’s watered‐down primitivism), I explicitly ragequit, telling the others to ‘enjoy waiting for the apocalypse you ableist pukestains.’ Admittedly the way that I handled the situation, and particularly how I angrily communicated with the administrator, were both pretty immature, and I regret that, but I would have left anyway.
The tank drivers in their heads are nothing like us. They built a strawman to hate. Labor aristocrats have to do this to shoo away that nagging feeling that they live off of oppression.
There. See? I'm federating with lemmy via the wonders of the hyperlink protocol. And I didn't even need to share my data with tankies who want me dead.
Between this and the whole "CCP bots" discourse I am starting to get imposter syndrome for feeling like I don't have the ludicrous hacking powers that these people think MLs have.
There's no built-in data gathering on Lemmy. Like nothing beyond what's required for instances to function, which is exactly what raddler collects too (username, encrypted passwords, comments, etc). I don't think we even run analytics software on Lemmygrad -- more general reddit-like instances would be more likely to do it than us lol
Yep! I was there when they were exposed for that, it was even other admins who were revealed to be sockpuppets lol, and when exposed they admitted which accounts were sockpuppets, including a large number of accounts not even suspected to be such
Can't forget that they used those alts to vote in the site's "democratic" polls for admin decisions too, since the site originally had the policy of user-driven direct democracy for major admin decisions (which they quietly dropped after the sockpuppets were exposed lmao)
During my time on that site, I was harassed by a decent number of accounts for being an ML (including them successfully voting to remove me as mod from the damn ML sub for making an ML post lol) and it was surprisingly refreshing to find out that literally all of them were just that one admin's sockpuppets lmaoooo
Only thing I miss from that site was its custom CSS feature, that was implemented pretty well, and a theme I made for it was good enough that the admin kept using it for a while even after they drove me away lol
I'd make an account on there to post a comment a few times and the one weirdo doing this sent me literally 76 messages in like a minute doing some kind of adrenaline fueled email tantrum.
I often told them I thought the site was faker than a haunted house and I knew what was up
I don't think their software supports federation. In any case that place seemed far too right/lib when I looked at it as an altwrnative to Reddit.
They may not have been directly associated with the kbin promoter(s) that was posting red scare nonsense about lemmy everywhere, but probably got a good amount of second hand help from that.
I actually just happened to come across Raddle while looking for forum style websites today. Decided I was in the wrong space when a post about lemmygrad (them acting as if all of lemmy is as based as lemmygrad) was met with an upvoted comment left up for hours of some anarkiddie saying "I want to physically hurt them." Oh no but WE'RE somehow the deranged ones, nah ok sure yep y'all go uplift your most aesthetically violent and then complain about TANKIE BACKSTABBERS.
