Welcome again, everyone! Make yourself at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have a Matrix homeserver, where I am your overlord friendly server admin :), at genzedong.xyz. See this thread for information about our Matrix space.

lmao
Look at all these brainworms
Im so glad you clarified your only the admin and not an overlord, I got worried for a second.
I’m definitely not your overlord. Nope, not at all, not sure why you’d ever think that. Definitely no sarcasm in this comment.
Somewhat related: I thought of the pun “cis admin” the other day and am having trouble thinking of a setup to the delivery that doesn’t suck.
any scifi/fantasy novel/series recommendations?
“Sten” cycle by Bunch and Cole, even if just for the based afterword, but it’s a good reading and its one of the most fun dunks on monarchists, it shows literally perfect immortal enlightened ruler straight from the wet dreams of r/monarchism and how horrible he fucked it up anyway. Also a lot of bashing of capitalism dystopias, american imperialism and it even have WW2 Pacific theatre in space for some reason.
Plus there is the two Scots joke being dragged over entire volume, that is significant achievement in itself.
What’s your poison? Hard sci-fi? Lighter stuff?
In light of Makan CPUSA finally getting banned, I’ve come to realize that his posts would on average gain the most traction out of anyone here.
Particularly the ones about videogames.
Are we all just secretly gamers? Terrifying prospect.
I don’t know about all of us being full on gamers, but it seems most of us at least play some video games.
why did he get banned?
Official ban reasoning says it was because of comments he made in the matrix server. His recent post appeared to spark a discussion about the CPUSA which didn’t go down very well, I assume it had something to do with that.
They where uncivil in a discussion about CPUSA, then through around insults and accusations without evidence in the Lemmygrad matrix channel
Is there a lemmygrad specific matrix server? I never saw him in the genzedong one.
His baseless assertions remind me of when he declared ResearchGate ‘alt‐right’, and when I asked for evidence all that he told me was ‘I was there a few times and saw their bad takes.’
Why the fuck would an alt‐right website of all things host a black researcher’s report on Fascist Italy’s mustard gas attacks on Ethiopians? That’s utterly mindless. It pissed me off because I wanted to tell people about a serious subject and the first comment that I got was an ‘I don’t like this source’ comment (and a poorly substantiated one at that). I thought, ‘Fuck, I guess that I can’t link to this one anymore.’
That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.
That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.
Judging by the modlog, the ban switched from temporary to permanent after he said some stuff in the lemmygrad matrix room. I have no idea what it was he said, though.
He was throwing a fit and saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”
- why would we even care that much? Like it will be nice to have more people to engage with our comms but we do just fine without hexbear federated
- he’s not an admin over there like he was implying, he’s only been on hexbear for a month and they let him mod a couple of comms, he has 0 sway on their admin team
It’s a shame, I think he was a decent poster
saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”
Looks like the Hexbear admins said no. Also, no idea where he got the idea that lemmygrad harbors patsuccs.
As well as attacking admins of lemmygrad using baseless assertions and not proving evidence
finally
I take it you were looking forward to it?
So reddit’s favorite billionaire just changed the name of Twitter to “X.” Kind of dumb, and I obviously don’t like the Muskrat, but so many libs seem weirdly butthurt about it.
What does that make twitter videos then
Varios talking heads from and around the Russian government have been carefully talking about another “partial mobilization”. I don’t like this.
Moscow got attacked with UAVs last night. Supposedly they got intercepted and jammed, but this resulted in them crashing into the business district. No casualties have been reported.
