Can we see somewhere what instances block us?

      Blocking instances for having open registration is some of the weirder shit I have heard recently.

      Edit: now that we have a bot problem I’m now against open registration and federating with instances with open registration lol

        Instances have different purposes and for beehaw, maintaining community standards is more important to them then wider federation, they also explicitly said it was a bandwidth issue for their mod team, that as things settle and tools get better for modding within Lemmy itself they’ll reassess. I don’t find that particulary unusual but I’m also a Mastadon user and that’s very common over there

      Hmm, I wonder what lemmygrad did to deserve the ban here? I see they are a pretty hardcore Marxist instance, but curious if it’s just an ideology thingy with the admins here or if they did something to piss them off? It doesn’t appear to be mutual lemmygrad shares this instance, and they have a TON of others banned lol

        it’s not that they’re hardcore marxists but that they are tankies, you can find a lot of discussions about this out there

          Ideologically consistent Marxists, even tankies, wouldn’t support the capitalist imperialism of modern Russia.

            are they Marxist-Leninists (MLs)? like flagging Stalin etc and Communist Party stuff?

            i’m a Marxist anarchist and i’m just wondering if fmhy is a good server for my social circle. banning Marxists is not a good look (upon first reaction)

              I mean, you can go look at lemmygrad. I did when deciding which server to make an account on and found a bunch of people posting in support of current day not communist at all Russia. That goes beyond Marxism-Leninism into just supporting a neoliberal imperialist regime because it’s not the American neoliberal imperialist regime.
