    Quick question: what is a “graineater”? I would have guessed that it means vegan, but then I don’t understand the thread.

      It mocks the holodomor.

      The holodomor was a genocide by the soviet union, who deliberately withheld grain from annexed states.

      The instance doesn’t need to be blocked when it defederates itself with the rest of the fediverse. Regardless, it’s important to highlight the content that the Lemmy Developers are happy with

    So stay off that instance. I don’t care too much what their personal beliefs are until they try to impose them on others

      Both of these instances have already defederated themselves. You’re on a community that is dedicated to highlighting hate-speech and tankie behaviour.

      and yes, they have tried to impose them on other instances. Even the Developers themselves tried to force their beliefs until the developers of Kbin told them off.

        Could you give some more context on this? Possibly a link to where it happened? I want future ammo for when someone says it’s not a problem because “lemmygrad is open source the devs don’t matter”

              And there we have the typical strawman argument of the fragile tankie.

      Well it’s a good thing for you that autocrats are not known for imposing themselves on others.
