OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about "tankie" censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn't adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we've debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It's really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who've been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.
Every time I see an asterisk now my mind fills in "Latest Fad".
Tankie*
*Latest Fad
I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I've seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I'm so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

they linked the wikipedia article for Tankie lmao what a closing argument
It's a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven't read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.
Deeply unserious people.
tell them to make a hexbear account and try to prove their point here
If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.
That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it's .world so I doubt it lol
If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.
I don't think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.
Wtf was their point anyway? "You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!" posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery
Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it's FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.
Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.
We love our lemmy.ml tankies
Lemmy.ml 🤝 hexbear.net 🤝 Lemmygrad.ml
United tankie front 🫂
I miss when the slur filter was hard coded so we’d get periodic posts about how the authoritarian tankies are ruining
When this site launched our slur filter even did substitutions. It would replace things like "Israel" with "Occupied Palestine" and "North Korea" with "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." We figured out that had to go as soon as somebody tried posting "Death to Israel."
We need to invent smart filters
I swear this gets posted on like a monthly basis by some brave patriot
"Guys did you know there are leftists online?!?!?"
They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.
With no hint of irony
It's always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful
Of course dot world whips up a red scare over the dev team the day before we release the next version of Lemmy.
lemmy . world users reporting me to the House Un-American Activities Committee? must be a day that ends in Y!
thanks for the warning, im going to avoid this lemmy thing and those hex bears
i only asssociate with septabears
A damn link to US Congress. Wow I posted a burgerland.gov link, my point has been proven; how will tankies ever recover from this?
Not to stir the pot but wasn't this known? Besides "socialists" write better software than fascist any day of the week.
The liberals of lemmy have the collective memory of a toddler.
So regular liberals?
Literally why I moved from .world to .ml last year, I didn't want to be on one of the redditeur instances.
atleast there’s one place we can all live rent free
if they're so concerned about free speech they should let lemmygrad and hexbear back into their lists
Cant wait for when sublinks drop and see lemmy.world die by trying to force their users and comms to switch to it and them just leaving for another instance
I hope they isolate themselves totally and completely
I hadn't put it together yet, but I'm realizing that "tankie" is just the liberal version of "woke". Much like conservatives call anyone left of them "woke", liberals call anyone left of them "tankie".
do it, cowards. defed from ml
Holy shit what the fuck do these people have nothing better to do
I don’t know why we are expected to spend any amount of time engaging with this infantile garbage. Who let them out of the kiddie pool? Now they are spewing their putrid shit all over the adults’ table. I’m not having a discussion with these entitled manchildren, they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.
Think of it this way, would you spend hours trying to argue with a toddler who thinks the moon is made of cheese?
it used to be a nice place, then Reddit went and fucked everything up
Have they decided on a definition yet? Trying to work out if they'd consider me one
the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
