Okay, so what is representative then? What metric are you going by?

    I don't understand this argument, it's like you're trying to get me to justify this community when I already gave my reasons for disliking it.

    I don't need to have a metric for enjoying myself.

    it's just strange that you don't think this is representative of tankies. i mean we have hundreds of posts of all different examples of all sorts of different users, even prominent tankies and their admins too.

    And I'm saying you could find examples of people being nuts and having shitty opinions in every comment section, regardless of the instance. I see every instance from .today. I mean, if we're going by upvotes my comments in the same section had 52, 49, and 35 upvotes. This one had 111. By your metric, that would be more representative of the community, right?

    We could go and find all the most upvoted comments of every section screenshotted on .ml and post those instead, see what we find.

    I've been directed to this community many time when asking what, exactly, is so bad about .ml, .grad and hexbear. I can only conclude that you agree it's okay to attack users by calling them fascist bootlickers without evidence, deliberately misconstrue context, and encourage brigading through posts like these.

    I don't see anything relevant to my comment in the sidebar, so I implore you to read it again.

    You don't take issue with hate speech, conspiracy theories and apologia/revisionism?

    Absolutely. This isn't it. Can you not answer a question?

    This thread isn't that, no. But there are examples across this community of such content

    Which brings me back to my questions:

    Is it okay to call other users fascist bootlickers without evidence that they're engaging in fascist or bootlicking behavior?

    And

    If upvotes represent the vibe of a community, why not have a rule to post the most upvoted comments to represent them more accurately?

    And

    Do these instances engage in bad behavior moreso than other instances on the fediverse?

    No, I don't think so.

    Too ugly to add to the rules and annoying to go through. There's also an important distinction: Tankie instances don't allow downvotes, which is why I note the vote count. If it were on world or any other instance that allows downvotes, I wouldn't make that argument.

    Yes

    So maybe mod posts that attack other users?

    You're a mod, making and enforcing rules to protect a broader community should be the bare minimum. Which instances don't allow downvotes? I have downvoted .ml content on my .ml account and this one, and you can definitely see those downvotes. Sounds like you made that up.

    Either use the upvotes as a metric or admit the screenshots don't represent the broader community. You're waffling back and forth on this one.

    Hard disagree. You made an echo chamber for all your bad faith arguments.

    Why should I stop users from attacking others? Tankies do it all the time in their spaces, but you're not advocating for them to stop, you're in no position to call me bad faith until you do.

    Hexbear. If you don't know what instance is what, you shouldn't be arguing any of this.

    This isn't an echo chamber either, Tankies are even given special privileges that other users don't get. You can even check modlog to verify this.

    Tell you what: if you're honest and in good faith, go make an account, post in Hexbear's /c/slop, and tell them to stop making fun of people and using blanket statements.

    I didn't tell you to stop users from attacking each other, I said you should moderate your community to prevent unfounded insults and brigading. The people in the screenshot didn't do anything wrong.

    I do tell users to stop attacking others, often, especially in the communities I made.

    Hexbear is just one instance. And... weird? I've downvoted and seen downvotes on hexbear communities I engage in. As far as I know, you should be able to see them, too, if your instance allows downvotes. So, yes, I do know what I'm talking about. Do you?

    But, come on. This is circular logic and you know it. You first argued that seventeen upvotes was indicative of a community's values, didn't agree that the most upvoted comments in a thread would better represent a community, and continue to say your community represents "tankie behavior."

    Now you're telling me to check the modlog for some ambiguous priviledge? How exactly do I... check their priviledge?

    Your comprehension is low, and I can't be bothered explaining things to you.

    Tell you what: if you’re honest and in good faith, go make an account, post in Hexbear’s /c/slop, and tell them to stop making fun of people and using blanket statements.

    I don't need to do any of those things to argue in good faith. That wouldn't prove or disprove anything I've said, and if so, I'd like to know how.

    Furthermore, we're talking about this post and this thread. Why do you keep changing the subject and putting the onus on me?

    If he doesn't change the topic to something else, he doesn't have an answer for you. This is his echo chamber, this is his space to make up rules of how you can't question his actions without his possee grouping up like Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

    I wouldn't expect anyone who runs a community like this to be a healthy, balanced individual in the first place. I've said my piece and now I plan to move on.

    You mean I spent about a minute, total, responding to this fine user — because I'm polite. Now you're jumping in after I said I was moving on.

    Sounds like you're a little miffed.

    Yes, I know. Why don't you point out where I circle-jerked? I think you're not linking to my comments directly because two users engaged me on a comment unrelated to you, and I was dismissive.
