So I joined lemmy.world when reddit shot itself in the snoo and thought it was great. But the decision to defederate from hexbear because of political disagreements over NATO etc just seems over the top.

In the comments of the announcement that admins posted the overwhelming consensus seems to be people think it’s a bad move. Few comments in support of it. Other threads have popped up says can we vote on things like this?

Here’s how I’m voting: fuck Lemmy.world I’m deleting my account. I got no time for more ‘centrist’ authoritarians.

      best reason to have a lemmygrad account is that it will get you a lot more leeway in heated discussions, if you accidentally post some liberalism you will be dunked on much harder posting from an account that’s not lemmygrad, since we know that you know enough about marxism that at least the admins let you have an account

      Also I didnt want to have to put in an email lol

      You’re fine for now. I only have a lemmygrad account at the moment, but there’s no real harm in having multiple accounts either. Karma isn’t a thing here.

      I personally signed up here instead of world because I wanted the instance tag in light of the liberal backlash about having to share space with communists.
