Here’s the crux of the matter: a bunch of us got into an argument with Grace (head admin of genzedong) in the telegram group over pan-arabism (which she denounced as ‘reactionary’) and a lot of people disagreed so she decided to purge everyone who argued with her on the topic a few days later (including many other people who didn’t even participate in the convo but were associated with us nonetheless). So we decided to form our own community and do our own thing.
Unfortunately, it seems that grace and her friend zoe have been spreading lies about us to the lemmy admins and had us banned based purely on their own personal resentment towards us (the ‘patsoc’ accusation is a baseless smear, some members liked to meme about the wow_mao mongolian video and that’s literally it, accusing us of being ‘patsocs’ is simply the excuse they’re using to get us banned everywhere when the real reason is that they have personal grievances against us)
