  • Impossible to answer as laws vary by country so what may be legal in the US may be illegal in Finland where LW is. Aside from the multi-national difficulties involved there’s also the fact that there’s been near zero court cases on it anywhere in the world (that I know of). Legal Lightening is going to strike some instance somewhere in the world eventually but no instance owner wants it to be them.




  • Which is the rule of lemmy.world that protects NATO as a bastion of Western European freedom?

    There isn’t one and there’s plenty of anti-NATO / anti-western / anti-capitalist sentiment here on lemmy.world.

    Are political discussions beyond centrism banned on lemmy.world?

    Obviously not, we’re still federated with lemmygrad and lemmy.ml.

    Feel free to do what you feel is best for yourself but I think this situation with hexbear is being blown way out of proportion, mostly by people who seem to have a vested interest in that instance being able to participate here but not the other way around.



  • why should people be prevented from questioning it?

    They aren’t and they aren’t even being prevented from doing it on this very instance. There’s pleny of anti-western and anti-capitalist sentiment in here, particularly from lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml. My take away on this is that the Admins are defederating from hexbear due to their stated plan to propagandize the shit out of every instance in the fediverse. Who wants to deal with a coordinated army of tankies coming from another instance?




  • Absolutely mindblowing that this instance ever pretended it was going to play nicely with socialists.

    There’s folks from lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml all over in here which is empirical proof that lemmy.world will “play nice” with Socialists. They’ll even play nice with Communists. What they’re objecting too is the Tankie Army assembling over at hexbear and their stated intention of propagandizing every instance in the fediverse.

    If you don’t like it that’s cool. Spin up an account on another instance and go on with your day. This isn’t your instance and no one here owes you anything.



  • That’s more spin than a washing machine! I’d say they’re defederating as they don’t want to battle an Army of Tankies all day every day because it’s exhausting. It’s like trying to handle the zealot Trumpers / MAGAts. They show up literally everywhere, argue using nonsense and bullshit, and won’t stop until they are banned or get bored.

    If it was truly because of “opinions you disagree with” then it would have already happened to lemmy.ml.


  • lmao you can absolutely be against NATO and not be hollering and hooting for Russia.

    Sure, I don’t think anyone is really arguing against that. However when you’re against NATO right now when most, if not all, of its members are currently helping Ukraine against Russia and you are coming from an over-the-top Communist instance like hexbear it looks like nothing more than Tankies being Tankies.

    The McRib is objectively gross…which doesn’t stop me from stuffing my American face-hole with the damn things every time they’re available because despite being gross they are tasty.

    They used to be a full time menu item but I guess the pork got too expensive so McDonald’s will buy pork when it’s cheap and stockpile it until they have enough to do another limited time promo with them. Been that way since somewhere in the early / mid 2000s if I remember right.
