As far as hobbies go, punching left on the internet, is not exactly healthy behavior. I enjoy the creativity of the technical implementation, we are not the same. :P
It's rich to claim "participate in the exploitation of the working class" through a euphemism, is not political. To continue your bbq analogy, it's like seeing your rich aunt discuss strategies about union busting in her factory during the party, and when you say "hey, maybe unions are actually good" you get called an "asshole" by her spoiled shitlib kid who want to think themselves a lefty.
The fact of the matter is that the post was inherently political and particularly that statement. Me calling it out doesn't make me an asshole, (and fuck you too btw), nor do we "advance the cause of economic and social reform" by hiding in niche political comms to talk about exploitation, because we might otherwise trigger the libs who moderate us away. We agitate wherever there's injustice, especially when it makes people uncomfortable and if you don't get that, well, "then welcome to knowledge".
PS: Writing this wall of text is just hobbyless behaviour.
I think it's generally useful to make sure to get upset about the right things and not make assumptions
AFAIK piefed.social was set to follow l.w defederation automatically and this was synchronized this way. Rimu reversed it immediately when he noticed
And honestly it's a stretch to call the stock market "passive income". Most people don't think of that at all when they say it. It's 99% a euphemism for rent seeking

Apparently the mod likes using euphemisms for their extracting wealth from other productive members of society and really dislikes being reminded.
Important note that this is just a community ban, not an instance ban. Mm is not an admin.
That said, MM has always been a bit trigger happy. This wouldn't be even noticed if they didn't moderate so many comms, or if the modlog would automatically conflate all comm bans by one mod into a single entry.
Anyway, I do find that jumping to call people zionists or nazis at the drop of a hat is not healthy
That's an incredible ratio for a mediocre comic

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."
Just patently ridiculous moderation...

Hello again peeps, I come back to you with more exciting news. After last months vote passed to accept quokk.au as a member of the FAF, the vote on their end only just marginally failed for a 1-vote tiebreaker. The primary reservation people expressed back then was not wanting to follow the FAF defederations/bans as many people chose quokk.au explicitly due to their defederation list, particularly of Marxist-Leninist-friendly instances like hexbear.
Given however that there was willingness from admins on both sides to collaborate and provide mutual aid to each other due to our shared values, we went back to the drawing board to find a compromise. The main issue was that we wanted a way where we didn't want to sacrifice the tight integration of the FAF proper, but there is also an option "softer" version of the flotilla integration, which is less technical and more political.
So we came down to having two different tiers of membership in the flotilla
Consorts: These are the fully integrated members of the FAF. For all accounts and purposes, they count as a single instance, as they follow the same rules, bans and federations and their members get voting rights on all proposals. I.e. the original vision I proposed.
Companions: These are the more politically-only aligned instances.
Naturally a Companion instance can at any time become a Consort by simply on-boarding existing FAF defeds & bans and therefore immediately get future voting rights for those as well.
After we reached internal consensus on these two tiers, we then re-approached @Quokka@quokk.au to see if that would cover their reservations and we're today happy to announce that they've officially joined the FAF.
On a personal note: It's been always my passion to grow a system that is not only technically robust, but also politically as well, and the only way we can achieve this is by reinforcing the mutual aid ties between aligned actors, while providing enough independence for self-expression. This is yet another step in that direction and I hope it can lead to more versatile fediverse structures like feeler networks and whatnot.

Throwing ICE bottles, that's brilliant! Hey, fascist! Catch!
That's also rent-seeking in the form of copyrights btw, but as far as rent-seeking goes, I agree it's the least problematic
