Now that I (I think) understand federation I was going to unblock the beehaw communities since I should still be able to vote and comment on them but I can’t find them now.

    When some liberals find themselves on the right wing of an argument, a really common rhetorical strategy they use is to pivot to accuse their opponents of being socially backwards. Most of the anti-LGBT critiques coming from the Beehaw camp are just materially uninformed attempts to claim moral high ground and deflect away from an actual heavy hitting discussion

    • Possible, but if that were the case, I think they would have defeded a long time ago. The fact that they didn’t hit the button until the Reddit crisis makes me suspect that they’re probably be honest about it.

      If they were really that concerned about anti-communist ideological purity, why would they have allowed federation when, as a raw percentage, even more of the community was hardcore communist prior to the flood of new users?
