      I never really got the appeal. I get joking about disturbing situations you have to deal with, but not what other people suffer through.

      Joking about the impending World War that would affect English speaking countries = based

      Joking about what is currently a proxy conflict for English speaking countries = cringe

      Honestly I’m not even sure if I ever posted there before this, I only saw it scrolling /c/all when it caught my eye for obvious reasons. If this is how the mods react to some polite but doubtful questions it doesn’t sound like I’m missing much!

        I don’t browse all much but when I do I see “jokes” about how killing people is cool and good if the government that claims dominion over you says that the government that claims dominion over them is the enemy.

    I would repost the comments here to show I didn’t say anything objectionable (I wrote a decently long comment about how I was checking mod logs and didn’t see removed posts and agreeing with the request for more details) but it looks like they got totally nuked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, it looks like this meltdown is over some prolific shitposter getting banned from blahaj 6 months ago and I guess OP just now noticed. And also doesn’t understand that not federating posts from banned users is not “removing posts.”

      Man, they are BIG fuckin mad about it too, they came back over 20 minutes after deleting my comments to reply to the deleted comment (is that something only mods can do?) to call me a troll and tell me to fuck off.

          Yeah idk what the fuss is about. It seems like half the people in that thread fundamentally misunderstand how this protocol works. Really not something worth a “PSA”

          Honestly I don’t understand enough of the backend to tell what’s going on, but from what I understand some instances can have trouble with backlog from especially large instances (like lemmy.world) that can make federation slower, it might be related to that? I don’t think Blahaj is particularly large comparatively, but having to spend more time federating with huge instances might still affect how quickly things federate.

            I don’t either. My main is on lemm.ee and blahaj.zone has just been gone for a week. But this is why I have accounts on any instance I actually care about, there’s so much that can and does go wrong.

            Sorry to distract from your post.
