    It’s also amusing they’re calling to boycott not just Cowbee himself but an entire instance

    What they really hate and find extremely confusing is that there are instances on fediverse where they can’t just silence communists. They got so used to doing this on every single other social media platform they can’t even imagine otherwise.
