"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
Excuse me while I go donate even more money to PieFed
And lemmyml
less so but yeah they’re pretty toxic
Idk, just got done reading yet another monologue from Cowbee about how the PRC really is better than the U.S. in every single way — I'd personally weigh .ml as being much more toxic.
yeah, they’re fucking trash…
and such propaganda garbage, i’m honestly just going to leave lemmy entirely if this is allowed to continue.
users get banned for abusive behavior, why not the entire instance?
the instances both encourage and just about require abuse…. and incredibly evil shit, like there’s a new trend of trying to manipulate the palestinian genocide to attack leftists.
like reuters, aoc, radiohead….
hexagon started out on reddit as el chapo trap house, and was banned for repeatedly abusing the site, including brigading other subs….
so why allow instances who’s main purpose is to deceive or otherwise attack other instances?
the fediverse will not work if we allow instances dedicated to abusing other instances.
if they were alt-right chuds, they would’ve been defederated a long time ago… but instead we have government propaganda pretending to be alt-left and that’s allowed?
and there’s no fucking way real flesh and blood people are really arguing that the PRC is better than the US in every way…
Then... Get on an instance that defederates the tankie trio? That's the beauty of the fediverse, you get to curate your experience.
This isn't reddit, there's no one central authority picking who gets defederated and who doesn't. Chose an instance that aligns with your values
no shit, no shit, also no shit….
?
I assumed you were a new user so I was trying to offer helpful advice. Not sure why you're being passive aggressive and downvoting me, but ok. For somebody complaining about the state of the fediverse you're not doing a great deal to be the change you want to see.
that’s not passive aggressive, that pretty direct.
because you’re repeating the same shit and offering extremely bland and broad platitudes, not actually responding to what i’m saying.
i’m not a new user.
it doesn’t help to join an instance defederated from the triad because they’re still commenting on and manipulating every post they can.
it like saying “my neighborhood is on fire” and you respond “just stay inside your own house and don’t look out the window”….
bruh, i can smell the smoke and my house is flammable….
i know “this isn’t reddit” and i think you’re a condescending prick for saying that and then pretending like you’re “just trying to be helpful”
i don’t need everyone to be nice.
i need people to not be liars and sock puppets for north korea and shit…. and other instances to recognize that and defederate from extremely abusive instances, otherwise they will always be manipulating what you can see.
Please go ahead and leave lemmy, then. You're no better a user than the ones you complain about.
you’re so full of shit
Ugh… they’re the worst.
Nah lemmyml is quite valuable. Mayhaps you thinkest of grad.
Eh...like, don't get me wrong, I'm a rabid progressive...but those guys? The ML Leftists? They scare the shit out of me. Like, they'd go full Red August and be totally fine with it.
I wouldn't go that far. If everyone moved off of lemmyml people would be forced to find different communities or create new ones.
Go big or go home
