I figured since their admin has asked them to stop participating over here it may be worthwhile to get a new discussion going that is primarily blahaj. I'm almost certain they'll still be upvoting so keep that in mind as that may skew things. Worthwhile to check in from instances that have already defederated them. The previous thread definitely left a bad taste in my mouth but what do y'all think?

The current top comment is:

Every instance that has talked shit and got dogpiled should be thanking us for breathing some life into their dead and boring ass websites.

I think they need to be defederated. Many users over there seem to be very edgy and tankie. I also saw too many very upvoted posts from this instance with bad faith arguments, idiotic takes and strawmen, with lots of users supporting this crap

Where in the blahaj rules does it state that you must be squishy and also be a supporter of the deadliest, most antisocial and most destructive economic system humanity has ever seen

Are you trying to argue in bad faith on purpose? StarMage's post mentioned nothing about being pro-capitalist or anti-communist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well they seem clearly anticommunist

Tankies are authoritarians. You know what they meant.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tankies are whatever the user or the word wants it to mean. Plenty of liberals use it to mean anyone left of Bernie (although I've even seen it used about Bernie for his comments on Cuba and because he visited the USSR). So no I don't.

I also find the word authoritarian to be unhelpful and nonspecific in many of the instances it's used when referring to communists

Tankie has a definition and we've been using the term in line with that. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie#:~:text=Tankie%20is%20a%20pejorative%20label,Leninism%2C%20whether%20contemporary%20or%20historical.
