Our instance (Blahaj) was defederated for awhile but for some reason we’re federated again

And the admin has been silent on the matter since it was pointed out

It’s really annoying seeing their bullshit all over the place again

It’s classic whataboutism

It’s a diversion tactic

Basically the person you replied to was attempting to divert attention away from the topic at hand because they have no defense for the actions described

In short: “Bad thing happened over there what about that huh? How can you criticize X over here if Y happened over there?”

Different spaces of the fediverse are for sure

Especially Hexbear

That place is a toxic cesspool of genocide apologia as long as the genocide was done by a fascist that pays lip service to communism.

The amount of people I knew who were like, “There’s no way Hillary could lose so I don’t need to vote,” or, “Bernie got fucked so I’m not voting out of spite,” were too damn high

The “best” part was seeing how low the voter turnout was in our district that typically leans blue, well in 2016 the turnout was hella low and it went hella red for the first time in a long time

Looking at raw numbers the red was pretty consistent from election to election but that year so many people who would vote blue didn’t vote that it swung the election

Felt bad but now those people I know haven’t missed a single election
