Lemmy.blahaj.zone has a lot of posts with a similar vibe but have struggle sessions about tankies. I think they could benefit from seeing our left unity culture, but we'd have to have janitors rigorously cleaning their shit before it hits our end. If we could moderate out the sectarian posts I think it would be a great addition.
- this seems like a terrible fucking idea. it has 196 on it, which is known for its hyperfetishization of trans people. the fact that a trans space allowed them on is a serious mistake and it makes hexbear far more accepting to trans people as a result.
  
  I think it is important to emphasize the word mistake here. The people running !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone are anticommunist shitlibs of the highest order, but the operators of the instance itself seem a lot more reserved. I have seen pushback against the red scare shit in some other threads there when the subject of blocking lemmygrad (which they haven't done) comes up.
  I think these 196 dweebs just ran up in there, declared it their new home, and now they're stuck with them unless the admins decide to piss a lot of people off. I could be wrong, but this is the vibe I'm getting.
  Anyway, I'm only being a pedantic nerd about this because it is very easy to get the moderation actions of the admins and mods of specific communities mixed up. Ultimately the admins deserve blame for leaving these people in power, but the landscape has changed drastically over the past week and I'm willing to keep my judgement a little bit lenient in the short term.
- From what I've seen, they ban people for being ”tankies”, so I don't know about similar vibes.
- Isn't 196 full of
  ites? I know I don't have to subscribe but it seems like our users would a) bully them until we get defederated, damaging our reputation more than if we hadn't federated with them, and b) complain about them incessantly on here, and also complain about there being too many complaint posts and also complain about there being too many complaint posts about complaint posts.
  
  Ah but you are forgetting the parody posts about the complaint posts
- If their mod team was burning alive, I would not even piss on them. We need to try other instances first because BZ has cool people but also extremely dedicated anticommunists, some of whom are mods.
