It looks like the Flotilla that is allying itself hard with the Triad is also becoming problematic. e.g. it seems to either be initiating walling itself off from other instances or at least strongly okay to have that happen to it, playing up the “victim” angle heavily (despite every shot having been fired so far being initiated by them, afaict).

I wonder what term this will eventually be called - like maybe Triad+? :-P Regardless, it’s so sad to see hexbear leaking, that is always the problem with the Paradox of Intolerance. 😓🙃

The Threadiverse seems poised to split into two factions based on whether people are pro-murder enough for others’ tastes. e.g. if you think that luigi should be a noun rather than a verb then they don’t want you to continue to exist, either irl or here on the Threadiverse.

The Left, like Veganism, always eats its own, thereby often causing the Right (in this case Reddit, Xhitter, and Meta/Facebook) to win, since utopia is only a place that can exist in theory (it requires too much work to implement in practice, which people are typically not willing to put forth).

Edit: example call (scroll down to read the GIANT TEXT part - you literally cannot miss it) for the entire Flotilla to defederate from the Western/European/democratic Lemmy.World, and if you click the username, also a call to cease and desist from using any and all PieFed instances (regardless of stance of each particular instance owner, admins, or moderators). Here is also a second example, calling to boycott all use of Lemmy.World (read the non-conditional title statement, even if the post text walks that back a bit - and to be clear, not merely avoid using it because it is too large and centralized and it would be healthier for the Threadiverse to spread out more, a phenomena that most people agree with, but for the political reasons that it is “Zionist”). The repeated calls to defederate, from multiple people, makes me think that the Flotilla is eventually going to do it, becoming like an anti-Beehaw (where instead of enforcing the rules to be nice, people will be even more free than now to call for irl murders, without any pushback from mods or even admins), aka shifting more along the spectrum to become like 4chan. I am starting to call it a “free speech” network since you can make all the “free speech” you want… so long as they approve of it, unless you piss off a mod in which case they (self-admittedly) use AI (both detection tools, despite their high failure rate, and even so much as providing the exact text placed into the modlog, with seemingly little to no human effort placed into reviewing those reasons) to help ban you from communities you’ve literally never so much as heard of before. This is exactly the behavior of the Alt-Right, whatever name they want to call it by.
