Does the head tankie roach have any activity on the Lemmy code repo? Or is it only that other one who does PR?
Or perhaps he has a script to run fake check-ins (renaming something and then renaming it back).
Genuinely curious!

There's actual activity, nothing compared to Nutomics commits though. Not that Nutomic is much better, but he isn't always in the modlog censoring and pushing narratives all the time like dessalines is also
I do wonder if it's a more "pretending to work"; technically doing something, but nothing too difficult or productive.
As I've said before, if Dessalines spent half as much time developing Lemmy as he did censoring dissent, Lemmy might actually get somewhere. As it stands now, Piefed's looking like a much better platform and only improving, with none of the problematic devs.

I know it's an unpopular opinion here but shill-calling is trolling and deleting such comments is the correct thing to do in any online community.
Randomly shill calling is trash.
Bringing receipts is fine.
Honestly I don’t think accusing people of being shills without firm evidence should be tolerated. 90% of the time these are just witch hunts against people with different views.
Ah yes, like the droves of completely legitimate accounts that are hours old and post exclusively in meanwhileongrad and tankiejerk
That's all one dude, a nutjob named Antiyanks. Just report them whenever you see them, they get sniped pretty quickly since they are only here to hurl abuse.
A lot of people on Lemmy rotate through accounts. I don’t find that alone suspicious.

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.
