PRIME Minister Pedro Sanchez today vowed to add abortion rights and gay marriage to Spain's constitution so they 'can never be undone'. The left-wing PSOE
not at all complaining; merely pointing out that this is an astro-turfed instance with astro-turfed communities compared to it’s truly grass-roots oriented instances & communities analogs that won’t experience an inactive lemmy once your bosses lose interest.
there will be more similar such instances in the future and i will likewise point them out; so prepare your block lists. lol
Do you have anything you can reference to back up these assertions that the instance is astro turfed? Honest question. You’re making some pretty big accusations and I’m curious if there’s any merit to them versus just writing it off as trolling and/or social media melodrama.
it’s something that hexbear users do for some reason, everytime I see someone (always from .ml) talking badly about blahaj they turn out to be from hexbear, and they also sometimes mention hexbear as the “true queer instance”
The reason is that they basically think Ada’s the devil for not making the c/196 mod remove the “(also fuck tankies)” line from the cover image. They defederated with us, ostensibly for that reason, tho I’m fairly sure that it’s because they saw the writing on the wall (that blahaj was going to vote to defederate) and tried to save face.
I was pretty sure it was just melodrama, but wanted to give them an opportunity to explain themselves versus continuing to sling crap like an enraged monkey. They didn’t take it.
This instance is an accident. Kaity created it for me to play with, when lemmy was barely a thing before hexbear was federating and before the reddit exodus happened.
And then when the reddit exodus happened, we had something like five active users, but still, as the only queer instance that was federating with the rest of lemmy we got a huge influx of people. And suddenly, instead of being a single person instance, we had become a community almost overnight.
At least a part of that huge influx was caused by a post in r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns telling people of the instance’s existence. That’s how I found it anyway.

Anyway there’s a bit of lemmy history for you.

Our history is far more boring than your version.

what are you on about?
