Join the lemmy.ml boycott today and help foster a better Lemmy-verse! No more posts, comments (except to counter their propaganda ofc!) or upvotes on any comms on the Lemmy.ml instance!
And consider donating to individual instances instead.
No money for tankie devs!
It's literally a subsidiary of Russia Today, fully owned and controlled by the Russian government that is known for being very hands on when it comes to its media. For example, all Russian TV channels received instructions to refer to the Ukrainian government as "the Kyiv regime" and they have followed them ever since. Here's an article on one of those instances.
Lol that's .ml for ya, they'll let the most vile trash fester on their instance as long as it's pro-Russia, pro-CCP, pro-NK or anti-west.
Doesn't matter if it's a substack blog, RT or straight conspiracy websites. And well, you see what happens when you call it out
Thanks for posting it here, after writing my post I noticed that its on .ml and probably blocked. :(
I would have contributed to Lemmy as a developer if the head developers weren't such horrible people.
If I knew rust or had the time to learn it, I would have forked it lol. If someone forked it, their version would probably die out in no time LMAO esp if they did things like actually have a decent block system that actually blocks and didn't spend all their time pushing a political narrative on their "testing" instance
But alas, rust isn't exactly awash with open source devs atm :(
get back to work dessalines
Sputnik is so bad, that even Armenia blocked their broadcasts. You know, the Russia's ally.
"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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
