Several instances are currently spamming this community with garbage. We’re trying to ban them all but new ones keep popping up. Our apologies but do know we are working on it.

Believe it or not but Lemmygrad admin is not my daily job and I have to do that as well, so it might be flooded in the meantime 😤

    Keep up the tough work comrade. I mainly lurk around but I do notice the reactionaries especially in the comments.

    This is clearly a pro-marxist and anti-imperialist forums so the people who are posting reactionary comments are obviously doing so to disrupt the website.

      We need people to dunk on though! I’m okay with a trickle from time to time, give the Hexbear users someone to dunk on since everyone defederated them!

    We at lemmy.ml had to deal with them as well. We blocked several instances. The first three listed below are obviously run by the same people and claim to be “low-moderation” and accepting of lolicon. I see that these have already been blocked here as well 💯

      We now just add the instances to the block list and purge the content, but we can’t know which instance they will use next (I think). I currently don’t know what else we could do. Maybe some more tech savvy admins can help with that.

          They have a really low age of consent and act like a nation with a really low age of consent.

          A lot of the hate also comes from the fact the center and right lionizes them so much, presumably because of the really low age of consent.

              Yes, it’s that and not the fact that it’s been under control of fascism for a better part of its existence. Call me when they elect the communists.

                japan is thousands of years old while the period its reductively called fascist was only 19 years long and was 78 years ago. in those 78 years the country has gone through massive changes from america tearing down many institutions to america starting the reverse course in 1947 to cement conservatism to the rise of the 1955 system to the 1959 anpo protests. and thats all the history I’m pointing out lasted 19 years, an equal amount of time japan was fascist, yet you don’t seem to care. japan has the world’s largest non-ruling communist party yet you don’t seem to care. I think the problem is your prejudice than with the japanese people being so bad

          Japanese people? Hit or miss like many others.

          Japanese government? Fascist puppet stooges of the US. Unrepentant war criminals who are revisionist and deny their government’s crimes in WW2 to this day and to this day honor their WW2 war criminals with visits to the shrine where they are housed. They are at this moment re-arming and becoming increasingly aggressive towards China who they victimized in the last world war and who they deny the simple solace of acknowledgement of their crimes (Japanese nationalists harassed the Japanese author of a book on the Nanking atrocities until she killed herself and the official schoolbooks don’t tend to mention it or downplay it and other atrocities like comfort-women).

          Fuck the Japanese government. Fuck Japan as it exists, has existed for over 80 years now. It’s culture is also largely reactionary. Yes there are good Japanese people, good Japanese media, even left-leaning types there. Many anti-militarists but they don’t hold sway.

          Just like when I, an American say fuck America, worst nation, I am not saying every single person there is without redemption. I am pointing out the reality.

            the nationalist faction of the conservative party in japan only holds about 20% of the seats in the diet and does not represent the overwhelming views of japanese people or the government, although it holds a lot of institutional power and sway, and the ultranationalist lobbyists are even smaller still. its an extreme stretch to claim that any current japanese politician is a war criminal since japan has not sent combat troops anywhere. japan has also apologized on different occasions for different things they did in ww2 and you could easily verify this by putting in google “japan apology for ww2” or something similar. and saying japanese culture is also largely reactionary is insane and shows your ignorance. everything your saying to demonize the country is an extreme stretch and not “pointing out the reality”

    They’re back. Also they must be self aware as they’re posting images of literal spam the meat product overlaid with the discord link they’re spamming.

      it’s a coordinated attack by some japanese kids in a discord server, it’s bizarre. Not a particular attack on us but the fediverse.
