And then they ask for money to develop lemmy
Sometimes I wonder if the Kremlin aren't financing the shit show that .ml & hexbear are.
It would be plausible if they had any cash to spare
Have you not seen way less craziness in the last say one year ๐ ?
I've seen russian oil refineries explode and burn, so that's what gives me doubts they actually can afford to pay for Lemmy trolls. Firstly, it's more cost efficient to spam AI slop on mainstream media, and secondly, most of the tankies on here don't even speak russian or ever been to the country itself.
Might be just shipping bricks of cocaine instead of fiat, we don't know
I meant less craziness here on lemmy. I russia there us more and more, and lots more to come, I think!
And only the leaders gets paid, the other tankies are just lead by the leaders. I mean if it is so.
Less crazyness? Them stirring shit in defederation threads is less craziness?
That's not all that much money in this context
Not if you convert to rubles
They get more fucked every single day. What a trainwreck.
"Dictatorship of labels" as some call isn't a good way to defend a given point. If anything, it's good to create resentment instead.
I've blocked Lemmy.ml a while ago because of their refusal to follow the logic of their own points accepting facts that support their point of view but none other, hell their open anti-semitism and refusal to see certain points of theirs as being wrong in some ways and blocking those who point that out has made me not want to associate with their content. Glad I'm not the only one.
"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. โ Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech โ You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia โ (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 โ 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 โ 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/Trolling โ If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
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.
