Glad we're done with the depraved libs everywhere thing

Like I saw a lib today in the comments and went off on them for being terrible, only to realize that it was one of us doing an excellent bit.

we're back baby

Wait, did I miss something? I'm from one of those "lib instances" and I'm not seeing anything about defederation.

I don't see why you put it in scare quotes when the owner of your site says a hammer and sickle is comparable to a swastika

You talking about this posts?

I did not want to take further actions in that thread in general (for archival purposes), but I did take one action, which in retrospect was a mistake: I removed a comment which contained the hammer and sickle symbol. I ignorantly associated this symbolism with Kremlin propaganda, and the atrocities my own people suffered at the hands of the soviet union during the previous century. Many users (including hexbear users) correctly (and politely) pointed out to me in DMs that the symbol has a much broader use than just as the symbol of the USSR, and people elsewhere in the world may not associate it with the USSR at all. I am grateful for users who pointed this out to me without resorting to personal attacks.

I get hes not a leftist. But I feel like he gets a "one of the good ones" stickers.
