I'm astonished at how sensitive the mods must be over there.

Apparently you're allowed to say whatever baseless slander you like about the eeeeevil tankies but the minute someone says "Hold up a sec, you claim to be anti-authoritarian and yet you support authoritarianism either explicitly or implicitly?" and they have to shut it down immediately.

Regardless, I think I made a pretty solid counterargument to the typical complaint about communism being authoritarian.

Mfers skim read the Wikipedia entry on Hannah Arendt and start thinking they're justified in slinging accusations about "muh authoritarianism" smh.

Okay. If discuss.tchncs.de has defederated from Lemmygrad, viewing the thread on their instance won't show any Lemmygrad responses. The fact that you get sent to the tchncs.de page is strange. The permalink (the rainbow web button) usually(?) takes you to the instance on which the post/comment was made. Here, that should be lemmy.ml. I could understand if the OP was using a tchncs.de account, but they're posting from kbin.social. I would have thought that the permalink would take you to the post on lemmy.ml but visible on kbin.social if it didn't take you directly to lemmy.ml.

Is Connect a browser or a lemmy app? If it's an app created by a tchncs.de user, maybe the default permalink is through that instance?

Either way, it doesn't look like it's been removed. It looks like you're being redirected to an instance that defederated from LG. If tchncs.de is federated with LG, that's even stranger and I'm all out of ideas.

Yeah I've noticed similar weird things too. Apparently federation is still in it's infancy and we're not very knowledgeable either I guess

I'm not knowledgeable at all!

[-] Fissionami@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oh no you are tho! You are more knowledgeable than average redditors to find out Lemmy and federation

[-] ReadFanon@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Connect is a Lemmy app for Android. I guess it must be developed by a tchncs.de user or something. Thanks for troubleshooting!

np. I may be very wrong; it's mostly guess work!

Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

1282 readers
1 users here now

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.
