Explanation: The Bolsheviks gained power through a coup in Russia to create the Soviet Union, whereas in the free elections that actually happened, they didn't even get a quarter of the vote

also the governance in Ukraine that Lenin desperately wanted to crush was anarcho-communist (called by most Ukrainians anarchism because communism as a term has been so heavily associated with the real bad times)

Their presence on .world comms is much reduced compared to what it used to be.

Yeah what happened? My blocklist is all lonely now…

Haven’t added someone in months.

.world defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad (as did blahaj.zone)

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was not sure this decision was the right one. But the experience on Lemmy is far better without them, so I guess it was.

You’re entitled to believe whatever you want, but when your political ideology includes supporting/encouraging/performing violence towards anyone who doesn’t agree with you, then yeah, you’re no longer invited to be a part of civil discussion.

The election ended and they shut down the bot farms

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I think they finally got it into their head that they simply aren't welcome amongst decent folk, other than a few stragglers.

I still havent been able to block an entire instance (hexbear) yet even though Summit shows the option (it doesn't seem to work)

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I just chose an instance that blocked grad and hexbear. You can’t manually block them.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ive blocked nearly every hexbear community individually.. every now and again a new one pops up and i block it. last one was "cats"

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 months ago

but blocking the community dont block the users.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

True, but I would have expected at least cowbee to show up
