There was only one thing I missed about the old CTH subreddit, and that was that we would occasionally get a lost lib that would stumble in and start calling us Putin lovers or some shit. It was always really funny watching them expect to bring the reddit debate shit in only to be completely not be taken seriously at all.
Well, they're back baby!
RUZZIA! 
the lamey.world "pre-emptive/last resort" defederation drama has been the funniest thing imo. i imagined federation with such a big-tent
instance would involve wreckers and some crafted-over-time pre-text for shutting us out.instead, they push the button before we even connect, call out our mod message of "be polite in other instances" and "NATO is shitty, actually", creating a struggle session amongst their own users, locking their own post, and banning complainers as hex-alts like some Q-brain trying to huff the Smell of Freedom while standing in the Cavortex.
their deranged leadership outed their instance as the vanity project of some reactionary autocratic westoid chauvinist. straight up own-goal from midfield.

Lemmy world is a bunch of libs sniffing their own farts. Admins aren't far off constantly battling to keep their fork up to date without breaking everything all the time.
I like how they believe that the only way a dissenting opinion can exist, is if the person was paid for it, because they're so used to a political system where opinions being bought is the norm.
To be serious; I think you're right Dirt_Owl, the missing ingredient from the old sub is the happenstance of libs. Up until now we've had like... haters show up, but we finally get the stray
wandering through we've been missing.RUzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz because I fell asleep.
I endorse "Because Ruzzia already looks bad you bran and turd stuffed puppet muffin" for a site header.
The "... hope you were paid well" got me too. Calling us Russian bots and everything lmao. These people actually exist
What's next, a Xi Winnie the Pooh and social credit joke? Calling Trump Drumf and Putin Putler? Why do these guys think getting names wrong is some kind of own?
They operate under the idea that Putin and Xi care about what Americans (and it's almost always Americans) think about them
Buddy, I got news for you, they don't give a shit if you make fun of them
It's futile, like an ant trying to bite the sun
at the end of the day is is a sick expresion of narcissm , the whole logic , stemps from the point that "they" can not be Wrong about something.
Thats also why they imagine all the "Badies" leading Bot armies against their Belives , because "they" is just that important !
The truth - that we are wasting our finite time on Earth arguing with clueless assholes of our own volition - is of course much sadder
I don't argue with people
I say weird shit or insult them and then ignore them
If they want to think I care about them, that's a personal choice
bran and turd stuffed puppet muffin
Honestly a good insult. Respect for that one
To me it gives off the sames vibes as the Mango Mussolini shit, but at the very least that's new, innovative, and has good mouth feel.
6/10
It has the
vibe that the orange man jokes lack.Usually the libs are far less creative, so I respect the innovation over "Putin shill" or w/e
OH my mistake for being unclear I was referring to Stuffed Puppet Muffin with my compliments. They managed to overcome the initial cheeto joke hurdle to surpass mediocrity
And this guy's writing was seen as so important it laid the groundwork for the case to kill the Internet Archive
This guy makes like $300k a year from writing. He's published in White Wolf books, a ttrpg publisher I actually respect. I tried to be a writer once but this is the kinda guy who succeeds.
I tried to be a writer once but this is the kinda guy who succeeds.
Successful writers don't have to be good writers. They have to pander cunningly and know the right people.
It's how Kurtzman still has a career in Hollywood.
hate to be that guy but I think it sounds exactly like when libs like Chuck Wending do that whole "WEDNESDAY. The day you flumpty-foo! And you think boopty-bop and zippity-zoom but the truth is, razza frazza wuzza wooza" and go "Trumpie couldn't even comprehend if I called him a fumcrustable turd gurgling herd burglar"
I have no idea what any of that means or what it refers to lol
Watching the stray libs being heckled has definitely been my favorite part.
I get to post again! When CTH went private on reddit I couldn't join for some reason. Even though I had several posts in the upper 2000s. Glad to be back!
I've read the !chat@hexbear.net post about the "Ukrainian Nazis" statement in source code, and I have to hand it to you guys. You are better at engaging stray libs than us, fucker was swarmed with genuine replies and the occasional ppb.
It's a rhetorical technique known as the PPB sandwich. Bait them with productive counterpoints, hit them with the ppb, then soften the exit with further civil discussion.
Soon enough we will be seeing it within single replies.
And then, if they pull some classic, 'Oh I just wanted to help you, but clearly you are too far gone' you really barbeque them, because it's funny.
i was worried about federation before but i've thoroughly enjoyed three separate instances of lost
s getting dunked on just today!
it's great fun, i'm totally with yaI didn't know hexbear was full of a bunch of lefties.
Hi friends :) -from lemmygrad
Who did you think we were? We're the lifeboat of r/chapotraphouse after it got banned from reddit
@RedDawn @ToastyWaffles have to admit having mostly avoided Reddit despite being a very longstanding Chapo head ( :awoo: ) I'm only discovering this community now and it's neat
@RedDawn @ToastyWaffles still posting from Mastodon has a bit of kludginess I guess you can't see my grey wolf emoji, which may or may not work far past my webzone...
sad!
Idk, I never visited ChapoTraoHouse. Just places like lateStageCapitalism. Then on lemmy all I heard was people complaining about Hexbear but I had no idea the context around it. Just glad to interact with other leftists!
I propose a flat system of unbanning liberals if they publicly post this:
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry.
There should be a megathread for bans appealed through this process.
I'm envisioning one of those timed work compliance training videos where they have to spend on hour being deprogrammed without clicking away from the training window.
There is a certain elegance to comments from 14 year olds that just learned how to combine words to make softball insults.
The failure of Russia is a failure of capitalism. The very thing they decry is the thing they uphold.
This furry monster thing tried to teach me French and I refuse
He taught me English, so I can sort of blame him for my burgerbrain and the fact that I was an insufferable lib from 15-22
looking forward to defederating with everyone.
Have a feeling federation is a fad, but really can’t be fucked to care enough one way or the other.
NOO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US. 😭😭😭
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RECREATE THE SINO-SOVIET SPLIT PLEASE. 😭😭😭
Edit: Wait a fucking moment. Account made 2 days ago? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I'm looking forward to when we've purged enough libs and fascists that the real infighting can begin. Until then,
lmao our devs worked too hard to unleash us on the unsuspecting lemmyverse
genie's not going back in the bottle now
except sincere and a fucking lib.
