I saw that a post was made in [email protected] about defederation about a month ago, an admin commented to make a post here to discuss defederation, but the post was never made.

https://maga.place/ is very obviously a small community with no real substance to it, but I saw an antivax post to [email protected] and was surprised it still exists.

Anyways I don’t really have a lot to say but uh, I recently hit a full year on this great instance 😊 (old account @[email protected])

    Come on, isn’t maga.place a Russian information operation? It’s not founded by MAGA people, but by a foreign power whose goal is to pose as MAGAts in order to expand the gap within USA’s population.

      I’ve literally never gone on that instance and have blocked it for obvious reasons, but I’m curious where you got this information from. Like how do you know this, or is it speculation? Or is this a joke that went over my head?

        Well, its admin is Russian and joined Lemmy around when the Russia was cranking up its troll efforts in 2023. Or, here he at least claims that he is Russian: https://lemmy.world/post/76070 .

        Also, the letter “Z” is used in the Russia in the same meaning as the swastika was used in Nazi Germany. No Russian would call himself “ArtemZ” in year 2023 without meaning that he is proud of Putin. And if you are a big fan of MAGA-ism, why do you choose a nickname that promotes Putin instead of one that promotes Trump?

        You can also just read what he has been writing with his previous accounts. And how he first was talking good about the Russia and then bad. Depending on what he figured would work best for MAGAts.
