Ah yeah. Good old fashioned social media toxicity.
Mixed with some old good internal left fighting.
The taste of success. Surely.
That’s a bit harsh if you ask me. Back in 2021 there wasn’t many Lemmy servers for register.
You can scroll through my 1.400 comments and don’t find a tankie-like comment.
Btw. Lemmy.ml is the dev server, every new update and feature starts here.
love me a classic .ml worthless posting, it’s my favorite.
Instance Filters! Couple of clicks and it’s like they never existed.
Honestly, that’s just sticking your head in the sand. Newcomers aren’t going to have those filters. Their Tankie BS should be called out every time.
I don’t care about all the politics and shit regarding instances, i just want to use lemmy :(
You are on the wrong instance for that
I like how this comment would work regardless of the instance they’re on
woah.
woah?
It’s short for “woke tuah [girl]”
yeah I was echoing the meme. silly joke
woah
Lemmings realizing the devs of lemmy use lemmy.ml
Lemmings realizing one of the devs is literally a teenager having fun by doing whatever he wants instead of complaining about instances
Tankie Toxicity should be called out regardless of background or age. In fact, a teenager should be exposed to the true authoritarianism roots more so so there’s a chance they don’t become permanently part of the tankie cult
I love these posts because they let me find out which .world users desperately need to be added to my block list.
Lol, ig “egocentric” should be part of the official tankie toolkit, and yes you were tagged a tankie a long time ago.
These posts aren’t for you, they’re for swaying sane .ml users to leave, showing the true colors of .ml to newbies as quickly as possible and to hopefully encourage non-.ml users to avoid posting and commenting on .ml communities
For me posts like this just make me embarrassed to be on Lemmy in general. It’s like making a post about how you get upset when you get an email from a Gmail account.
👋 Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
anything you say officer 🫡
Reposting my comment from the last .world feud post
Couldn’t care less about lemmy.world. This post has the same energy as people in comment sections publicly announcing they are blocking someone.
Do what you want. No one cares.
You obviously care lmao
Funny enough, that’s the message of the original scene too. “I don’t think about you at all” is a blatant lie, lmao.
If it’s an hour that ends in o’clock, there’s someone on .world screaming about the dang leftists ruining the website.
The only leftists I will recognize are liberals
You and your fellow tankies are “authoritarian leftists” and are JUST as bad as the right wing
So yea, leftists are ruining the site, the tankie authoritarian leftists
Posted from Elgin Air Force base
*Eglin
And this is a reference to?
Most addicted city (over 100k visits total) Eglin Air Force Base, when I see someone going out of their way to be a cop about communists on the Internet it just makes me think you must get paid to be one IRL and just can’t shut it off.
Ah, yea no. I have no problems with the idea of communism and like socialism.
However, the “communism” you and your fellow tankies love to spread, is authoritarianism/dictatorship with a communism mask like the CCP or Russia. Along with racism, bigotry and transphobia sprinkled in.
Along with racism, bigotry and transphobia sprinkled in.
Bold words, but I run into way more bigotry and racism while/after posting on .world vs posting in .ml spaces.
Nutomic is a shithead for failing to address his transphobia, if he ever posts in /c/transgender I’ll ban him myself.
authoritarianism/dictatorship with a communism mask like the CCP or Russia.
Russia is not pretending to be communist, wtf are you on? do you mean USSR? if anything I’ve run into way more cutting critiques of existing/historical socialist states among actual communists in these spaces as opposed to carnival barkers with a tenuous grasp on history.
The racism allegations also kind of sound like projection in this context considering on of the main controversies I’ve seen about bans here are for banning people being weirdly racist and choosing to die on the hill of depicting the president of China as a yellow cartoon animal.
… do you really think that the US Air Force is worried about communists on the internet? lmao
I guess it wouldn’t be tankieism without a good persecution fetish, lol. Just like the fundies.
leftists
Tankies
FIFY
Developer: makes platform
End User: “Fuck you.”
Tale as old as time.
But unlike Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Larry Page, the good folks at .ml did nothing wrong.
Stop with the sensationalism
Genocide apologia is ‘nothing wrong’ to you, I see. Unsurprising.
I have never seen .ml people engage in genocide apologia. They’re fond of authoritarian governments which I find distasteful, but they aren’t pro-genocide.
Drag has seen many .mls say “Democrats are Republicans are exactly the same.”
The difference between Harris 2024 vs Trump 2024 is one genocide vs three. That’s millions of lives.
Drag has seen many .mls deny the loss of millions of Palestinian, Ukrainian, and transgender lives to push their agenda.
Genocide denial is wrong.
Go ask about the Uyghurs in China over there and get back to me
It’s UnderpantsWeevil, our very own local .world tankie
I wonder why Lemmy is losing active users 🤔
Well, if literally everyone I’ve tried to get to sign up but it didn’t take are to be believed, it’s the tankies. I try to explain they can use keywords to at least limit it but by then they’re mad about me “hanging out at a nazi bar” and explaining “no they’re really more Nazbols” somehow just isn’t helping my case. Even when they give it a second shot (rare) they quit when they figure out “rule 2 be nice” means “you can’t say anything we don’t like even if you’re nice and we’re going to be insufferable cunts with impunity because our admins are hypocrites that back us.”
Instant judging based on first impression.
I can’t tell you how many conversations start with:
“LET ME GUESS…”
That and the constant holier-than-thou one-upping(which has admittedly gotten a teensy bit better, but only a little).
At this point Lemmy instances is just astrology for Linux users
You aren’t that wrong honestly
So true bestie
never speak
Its insane how much shit .ml and .world users fling at eachother. Ml is filled with smug historical revisionist authoritarians and Russia bootlicking other empire supporting “anti-imperalists”, meanwhile .world is filled with genocide apologizing western imperialists and neoliberal bootlickers for the capitalist class. Genuenly im not sure which is worse but they’re both obnoxious and unbearable, imperialism is imperialism regardless of the empire.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Why tho? I’m having trouble figuring out the differences in instances
The lemmy.ml instance is known to have admins, mods and users that spread the promotion, praise and propaganda of dictatorships and other authoritarian governments, bigotry, racism and transphobia. Even when there are hard facts against them.
Ooh hard facts? I love hard facts! Which hard facts are you talking about?
Allowing a fascist to become dictator of the USA will get millions more people genocided than voting for a liberal.
Telling the truth about a liberal, when that truth contains a call to action not to vote against fascism, will get millions more people genocided than shutting up about a liberal.
How about China is, in fact, a dictatorship for starters. The Communist in “Chinese Communist Party” is just there for show.
Non-tankies on .ML getting upset at this:
You might not be an idiot, but you’re wearing a T-shirt that says “I AM AN IDIOT” in bold letters across your chest. Maybe change your shirt. 🤷🏻♂️
to better analogize this, you’re hanging around a nazi rally trying to find friends, and people keep calling you a nazi for some reason.
Weird.
i’ve created this alt in the interim of finding a more permanent instance residence. Just got exhausted by the massive amount of shit they pedalled over there.
Come to .nz! Our admin has the best track record on trans rights out of any instance drag is aware of.
Lemmy.sdf.org is a good one with a “very light touch” attitude towards defederating instances of what you’re interested in
Sh.itjust.works is also a good one with great admins I’ve heard (and also funny name)
TODO: pedal vs peddle.
I bet there’s not a gratuitous amount of bicycling going on over in .ml land, but I could be mistaken.
fixed from ‘pedalled’ to ‘peddled’. I’ve met a decent number of Marxist cyclists, so i could believe it.
Could be, I’m no expert on cycling.
