Hello! I'm a new user from blahaj.zone, I switched after I saw all the death to NATO responses to the defederation mega-thread.
. This is my first time using a social media site like Lemmy (never used corpo social media at all). :3 
I’m from Lemmy.world. Same. You can’t be a leftist and pro-NATO, despite what Vaush says.
Wait did blahaj defed? I thought that post was just a joke that they would defed because we're not pro-nato?
I don’t get defederating unless you _want_an echo chamber. I like hearing from liberals, and conservatives, it makes me question my beliefs. I don’t want us all to think the same. That’s boring.
They call leftist spaces the "echo chambers," yet they are the ones rushing to shut up opinions they don't agree with by defederating. Kind of funny.
So when you guys say leftist, you mean communist right?
DemSoc (the people who think socialism can be voted in) is basically the least-radical tendency that it is site policy to treat at least somewhat respectfully. Other people can post, but the anti-sectarian rule doesn't apply to people who just want free healthcare and more bombs dropped on Somalia
Hexbear tries to be anti-sectarian, so I think the general definition of leftist here would be anti-capitalist.
The user base probably leans more ML/communist than anarchist, though.
We mean anyone who is fundamentally opposed to capitalism on the basis of its unequal and unjust distribution of wealth, and seeks a definitive break in favor of more democratic or representative control of the products and direction of society.
I want us all to think the same if the other options are libs/chuds
They haven't announced defederation yet but one of the admins mentioned that defederation was "inevitable" after the brigading. There's a second discussion thread that's explicitly only for Blahaj members and there it's pretty mixed. I put in my two cents though, and I'm hopeful that defederation isn't going to happen.
We haven't been brigading so much as there's just a lot of us and we all have a mental illness to post as much as possible, but I can see how that would make us seem like a sudden swarm of us. We're like flies to shit. We're little piggies who love slop.
We're also haven't had the chance for 3 years to post as a group so we were ready to blow
It's probably never going to stop completely, but it should be a lot less frequent after another week or two from now
