!gpral@hilariouschaos.com is a goth, punk, alt etc community that covers all parts of alt life. It’s being revitalised by me and the lovely @Alice@hilariouschaos.com
Come say hi! You’ll be made welcome
The instance Hilarious Chaos has issues with bigotry:
Thanks we’ve just found out. @Alice@hilariouschaos.com looks like we need to move house
Hey you’re always welcome on !gothindustrial@lemmy.world, we’re more than just music posts now.
What app is that?
I’m using the Mlem app.
Thanks! It would be nice if lemmy had a user agent thing like mastodon.
I would love to subscribe, but somehow my instance replies with an error message trying to access the instance on which the community is hosted:
There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn’t work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room. If you would like to reach out to one of Star Trek Website admins for support, try the following Matrix addresses: @valuesubtracted:matrix.org The server returned this error: couldnt_find_community. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error
It is because your instance is defederated from hilariouschaos, as is mine.
Dang, but thanks for the explanation! Is there a specific reason why some instances chose to defederate from them? I know about the grad triangle, but that’s absolutely reasonable. ^^
It’s apparently explodingheads reincarnated

I thought the types of shit that was popping up the other day before I blocked it looked familiar. Looks like my gut was right to block the instance.
Oh. Dear. Lord.
Now I understand and appreciate my instance’s admins even more.
You can open hilariouschaos.com in a browser if you like and see what it’s like for yourself. I can say that it looks to me like the polar opposite of the tankies; I’m guessing HC is the “conservative” instance. Lots of activity there by a certain user named Donald Musk. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions, but let’s say I understand the decision to defederate.
Lol, I just blocked Donald J Musk yesterday! The Fediverse is still such a small world, I love it.
Blergh!
Thank you, Star Trek admins!
Not sure why people are downvoting this
Likely because of the instance.
I know that hilariouschaos has a bad reputation, I had a look at the communities, and indeed the News and Conservative communities seem to be mostly used by a user called DonaldMusk.
Nazi bar and all. It is what was exploding heads.
Yep… I’m a member but haven’t posted for just that reason.
Based on what other people are saying, it seems like it might not be the best instance choice for your new community 😕
It’s also fairly funny to me to have a punk/alt community on a conservative instance. But maybe voting Republican is rebellious now?
So republicans don’t listen to punk music?! No punks are republican?
It’s been set up a while, hilarious chaos is a cool name I nearly chose it when I picked an instance but lazy social won
Nope… it’s been set up a while though we’re just revitalising it.
Whats wrong with HC? I haven’t seen anything bad from it.
The news and politics communities on there are dominated by a user named Donald Musk. Looks a whole lot like UniversalMonk-posting, but could also be a tribute act. Doesn’t really matter, I can understand why we are defederated.
Elsewhere in this thread it is said that hilariouschaos is apparently what was once explodingheads, if you were familiar with that instance.
The news and politics communities on there are dominated by a user named Donald Musk.
So? People could just block the two communities post to. Not that difficult. lol
🍿
Won’t engage. You’re an admitted troll who wants to get people to “snap.”
Donald J. Musk is an absolute shithead, the only “conservative” who hasn’t abandoned the platform.
What you’re saying about exploding heads; I’ve heard of them before, but I don’t know what happened there, could you enlighten me?.
ExplodingHeads was the original extreme right wing instance on Lemmy. They packed up and moved to Nostr after pretty much the entire Fediverse defederated from them. Apparently they are back now and their instance this time is HilariousChaos.
This is per their own admission, seemingly: https://hilariouschaos.com/comment/9332
Seeing this annoyed me, because I kinda liked the “vibe” of that instance.
I found this: https://hilariouschaos.com/post/757356/302134
But this kinda contradicts it: https://hilariouschaos.com/post/1348
Seems to me like the EH guys did originally go over to HC, so that comment was probably true at the time of writing. No doubt around then is when HC got widely defederated. At this point it may well be that the worst of them have been banned and/or left. Unfortunately the damage already seems to be done in terms of defederation.
I still think a pronounced ambition to be a “free speech” instance with laissez-faire moderation easily can lend itself to problems again down the line, hence the whole nazi bar parable. Or, well, 4chan. So I still am wary. Letting Donald Musk and UniversalMonk run rampant doesn’t help.
Right. And what did EH do?
Donald J. Musk is an absolute shithead, the only “conservative” who hasn’t abandoned the platform.
I may be a shithead, but I’m not the only conservative on Lemmy. And more are coming.
Lemmy isn’t a liberals-only platform. It’s open to all.
And no worries, I won’t ever abandon Lemmy. So all good. :)
I know…downvoting on social media is weird.
