How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.

Just because we're not federated with another lemmy instance doesn't mean that they don't see our posts. Other lemmy instances have to defederate from us or once someone on that instance subscribes to a comm on our instance that comm propagates to their All. Other lemmy instances that we don't federate with regularly vote and comment on our posts, but we don't see them. An "ironic" anti-left hexbear comm is basically a propaganda comm for anyone out there in the fediverse that wants to take advantage of it and most people on this site will never know about it.

Yeah but like I don't understand why we should care about any of that. If federation means we have to censor ourselves or get defederated like who cares let them defederate

The point is not whether or not they should defederate from us, the point is we're now spewing anti-left propaganda on the fediverse.
