Ah, I wasn't thinking "militia", but fair point. While government repression is something we do have to account for, overall I think it's important that the right sees that we're armed, for deterrence purposes, and that the rest of the left and liberals see that we're armed, for normalization purposes.

Instance admins should probably adopt a policy that communities with insufficient moderation get shut down and put up for adoption, like reddit does. If admins are doing the work to moderate these communities, people are unlikely to step up and volunteer. On the other hand, they tend to be more motivated if the continued existence of the thing that they like is dependent on them pitching in.
I did laugh at the "not stormfront but like the other stormfront" bit.
This doesn't block posts from hexbear, it blocks post that link to hexbear. At least in theory. In practice it's buggy, and will just block stuff at random, so you shouldn't use it. Also, hexbear hasn't federated kbin, so we don't see their posts anyway.
Hmm...
- This post was made by @gsa377, moderator of the Drama community on shitjustworks.
- @gsa32 is a moderator of the new Elon fan community being "complained" about here, as well as the lemmy.world and lemm.ee Drama communities.
Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Wake up sheeple etc.
Anyway, someone should probably report this post, since it's just a promotion attempt for the Elon community (or more likely for the various Drama communities).
What exactly is cringe about it? They're posing? They have rifles? So what? We need the armed left to be more visible, and this hardly seems like the worst way to go about it.
I think PMs between kbin and lemmy are currently broken. The comment reply thing should work though, I'll do that. :)
Cool, thank you. Yeah, I wasn't sure if it'd reach you or not, but I figured it was worth a shot.
Yeah, that's true. And if it does manage to get popular enough, the mainstream mostly doesn't care about open source vs closed. A lot of potential early adopters will shun it though, which puts a big hurdle in the way.
Huh, hadn't heard of this one before. Unfortunately it looks like it's not open source, which is a dealbreaker for a lot of people, and p2p networks live and die by the network effect.
They're really bent out of shape about Fediseer thing. "Unknown technology" meme material.
