I know it’s .ml where such things happen but ffs! This guy needs to fucking chill 🤦
You must log in or register to comment.
Oh, I got banished from a whole instance on Mastadon for saying that the Apple Safari team looks at every bug request (and they do):
Little fucking Napoleons will ruin social media, not matter what platform.
You sure it wasn’t because the admins harbor deep resentment toward both Dutch people and guys named James and you just had the bad fortune to exemplify everything they hate?
All of the .ml instances are absolutely Russian psyops and you can’t change my mind
(I jest… mostly…)
Doubt. More than likely just useful idiots.
But they’re not useful at all. Even to the cause. They just make the whole agenda seem mindless and smug.
I’m convinced they’re US psyops to make communists look like idiots. I don’t agree with most of communism, but I can respect people with different views. But the tankies on Lemmy are doing such a hard double dutch rudder on China and Russia they can’t be real. Nobody is that stupid, right? And then I remember how many people are going to vote for trump. Yes, the world really is this stupid all around. Idiots are taking over. The stupid people are breeding. Nationalists that feel it’s their duty to populate the homeland.
Yeah, its the stark advocating of minority rights/protection on one hand and the intense jerking off of dictators with the other that breaks my brain with Tankies
I dont know anybody on .ml, lemmygrad or hexbear who supports russia, i really dont know where the lib world people got that strawman from.
Tankies on lemmy are absolutely that stupid. I argue with them all the time. And like OP, I get posts removed and banned often. Across several accounts.
Across several accounts
I choose to believe those tankies are doing the same, and it’s just one tankie you’re arguing with. In fact all tankies arguments on Lemmy are just at argument between you and other said tankie dude on new accounts.
Damn, that dude types FAST! Reads super fast too, although his reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired 😄
ChatGPTankie
You’re right that they aren’t real communists, that’s a mask they wear to spread Kremlin and CCP propaganda.
The idea that they’re run by the US government is ridiculous, they’re full of hateful anti-Western content.
Usually I hop in these threads ready to tell people why they deserve to be banned, but dang. There is nothing wrong, ethically or factually, in what you said.
Not saying he should have been banned, but factually it was wrong, the FRG was mostly staffed by “former” Nazis. A lot of Germans saw it that way, see Baader-Meinhof.
Also it’s disingenuous to call one of the biggest arms manufacturers who supplied arms to some of the worst regimes, Israel, Sudan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Russia “pacifist”.
Sure would be nice if your instance would allow you to rebut op with your view of the situation rather than scrub their comment and ban them. Lemmy needs more content to grow and over active jannies don’t help on that front.
One of their mods banned me for pointing out that Chiang Kai-Shek genocided the communists in China before the Long March. Sometimes they hurt themselves in their confusion.
It’s just a job for them, at the end of the day.
Babe, wake up; a new .ml wrongthink euphemism dropped
This is the comment and of course toothy banned me for 3 days too.
Just like they did for “sinophobia” when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦
Yeah that’s some petty bullshit.
Side note but I really appreciate the mod log feature.
I got banned for “orientalism”, whatever that is
Treating Asian culture or people as a particular stereotype.
Criticizing China in any way.
Ahhh now that adds up
That’s like that meme post from a few years ago where it’s like (paraphrased):
Person 1: “I can’t stand homophobes”
Person 2: How dare you insult Christians like that.
Person 1: I never said “Christians”. You jumped on that grenade all by yourself.
Just like they did for “sinophobia” when I expressed misgivings about Chinese and Hungarian cops joining forces 🤦
Just love the thing where they twist any criticism of the Chinese state into perceived hate for Chinese people, but are so apprehensive when Israel tries to do the same. It’s reprehensible.
Being a moderator is the only amount of power these people will ever have, and they like it, and will absolutely abuse it.
It’s not just pettiness. They’re pushing manipulation.
I’m still undecided as to who is more irritating to deal with… the tankies over in .ml or the liberals over here.
This is why I’ll personally never donate to the Lemmy devs. I could never bring myself to fund a tankie.
It’s not the only one but one of the bigger reasons why I don’t use Lemmy.
I didn’t let that prevent me from using Lemmy, however, I found that I liked Mbin a lot better. Fedia.io has become my favorite forum type website.
I’m glad we don’t use Lemmy, oh wait
I literally don’t.
Well you use it passively at least.
Although that also means you technically use Mastodon.
Maybe its communities but that’s a bit weird too because in the end it’s more the ActivityPub protocol that we all share the use of. Ultimately I’m neither on Lemmy nor Mastodon, but their content gets federated with the platform I’m using.
How am I reading this comment then?
Because our servers & software that we’re using are federated.
Lemmy isn’t the only Threadiverse server implementation, though it’s the most-widely used. There’s kbin, of which kbin.social is the largest instance, mbin, of which fedia.io is the largest example – and the user you’re talking to is on fedia.io – and some others.
https://mbin.fediverse.observer/list
https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
Mbin is IIRC a fork of kbin aimed at getting features in more-quickly.
https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin
Those guys are written in PHP.
There’s PieFed, which is in Python:

Sublinks, which is in Java:
Oh, interesting! Thanks for enlightening me!
If you post a comment to a Lemmy instance, are you using Lemmy?
Federation
They seem fairly chill as far as I can tell. Its some of the long time users that are the problem
Until you realize some of these long time users are likely sockpuppet accounts of said devs.
But I find it rather funny and in the end their political believes while themselves sitting right in the “imperial core” are harmless. Armchair tankies.
Well, I don’t know. I just know that the devs seemed nice and friendly in the QA
Ironically enough, there’s some actual McCarthyism going on in here.
It is pretty exhausting fighting their subtle tankie arguments over and over, lest someone more impressionable only see their bullshit and believe it.
I am really tired to hear “Global South” over and over again.
Rofl. I was wondering why I couldn’t see the other reply to you, and realized it might because I already blocked that user. Went to incognito, and yep, blocked that rabid user a while ago.
I recommend doing the same. I forgot “Global South” was even a term used here.
I am really tired to hear “Global South” over and over again.
We are perfectly aware that beneficiaries of colonisation (like you) would like us here in the Global South to just shut up and give you our resources and labour for absolutely nothing - so there’s no need to say the quiet part out loud, okay?
We are perfectly aware that beneficiaries of colonisation (like you)
Pretty sure that the guy you’re talking to is from a small country somewhere in Eastern Europe.
Lol, I grew up on a Russian colony. Was not fun.
That said, my thing with “Global South” is that it pretends the country with the highest GDP in the world is an “underdog”, and it tries to sell that through its supposed tight alliance with its less fortunate members. By what measure is China or Russia “the South”? Maybe it’s just them trying to sell that they are so oppressed.
And their alliance is so tight that Putin wasn’t allowed on the latest BRICS summit because ZA thought their ties with the ICC are more important than Putin.
It’s just an “actually, we are the victims” circlejerk, based on some fragile semi-alliances and pretending that China is not absolutely dominating the whole thing.
By what measure is China or Russia “the South”?
Russia certainly was after the fall of the USSR - whether it still is is open to debate. China is an active exploiter of the “Global South” - which kind of means the concept is overdue for an update.
ZA thought their ties with the ICC are more important
Nahh, they didn’t want another repeat of the al-Bashir debacle. South Africa’s ANC regime will bend over backwards for the west and especially western corporations - but the US forgot that they will only do so behind closed doors.
I want to remind everyone in here that Lemmy is self-hosted and federated. If you want to make your post visible on their server or community, you have to abide by the rules they set even if they or their enforcement may seem arbitrary or stupid. It’s their server/community you want to put your stuff on and they do not have a duty to accept it. Lemmy allows you to block those communities or instances or even to create or host your own.
Ah yes the freeze peach argument
No, I’m not appealing to that. Fuck nazis. (I don’t actually see how my comment could be interpreted as that since my comment was in response to users complaining about having their content removed from other instances or communities, which if anything would make them the free speechers (I’m not saying that they are))
Lemmy, in contrast to centralized platforms doesn’t force you to be restricted to the rulings of a single group of people under threat of being barred from using the entire platform.
My point is, when you are talking on another instance, you are a guest there and it is completely expected for them to kick you out if you don’t abide by their house rules or if they don’t want you there anymore for whatever reason. While it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be criticized for it, the impression I got from the comments on this post is that they think it is some kind attack to a basic human right to remove their comments from a foreign instance and that admins should allow all content your instance allows.
The same can be said about the reactions people from other instances display towards news of some instance defederating from the instance they are on.
Enjoy your “naunced” freeze peach argument
What is lemmy.ml and lemmygrad? I’m just a casual using Voyager
Instances operated by pro-Russian or pro-BRIC individuals/groups that have no interest in dissenting opinion and often spill out into the rest of the fediverse posting anti-western propaganda.
Basically, it’s flat Earth theory but for geopolitics. They believe the exact opposite of what everyone else does so they can have a tight-knit community devoted to being smugly superior to the sheeple.
That’s a good way of putting it
Instances operated by pro-Russian or pro-BRIC individuals/groups
“Everyone I Don’t Like is
HitlerAn Evil Foreigner”I don’t believe lemmy.ml’s are pro russian, at least not in that way.
It’s not as bad as Lemmygrad but most news threads about Russia/China/Ukraine are a total shitshow over there.
Hexbear falls under this umbrella, right?
even BRICS are bad now?
I mean, what was your comment, mate?
This one: https://lemmy.world/comment/9266324
Nothing your said was wrong and wtf is McCarthyism even?
It’s what tankies use to rile fear of political opposition in their groups.
The ironic part is that is exactly how McCarthyism was used back in the cold war.
Their ideals are as outdated as their ability to reason.
McCarthyism was the Second Red Scare philosophy of “everything to the left of hunting the homeless for sport is communism and communism is the most dangerous thing in the history of the world” taught by senator Joe McCarthy and other closet fascists.
It was used as an excuse to hunt down and blacklist anyone they didn’t like, whether they were left wing, Jewish, worked in Hollywood or, sweet merciful Anglo Saxon God more than one of the above.
The irony of him invoking that while unfairly punishing me for not following the local groupthink isn’t lost on me, though I’m sure it is on him 😄
How is that McCarthyism?
It isn’t. His reaction of banning me for saying something factual that he doesn’t like might qualify as an extremely mild version, though 😄
I just had one removed from news as well. I don’t even remember what I said though so I somehow doubt it was something that crazy
Found it in the modlog, not posting it here, but you suggested someone killing themselves was a good thing… Yeah, that’s going to get removed.

Rule 1 - Be civil
More like “Rule 1 - Selective Enforcement”
They give tankie talking points a lot more leeway.
Just block the community/instance and move on
checks lemmyverse.net
There also appears to be a world news community on lemmy.world, if that’s more people’s speed.
No, even though they don’t like the instance, they are required to post in it for whatever reason and then cry when they predictably get modded.
Makes sense!
It’s funny to me that they don’t admit what they said but want sympathy apparently.
yeah,yeah nuke .world i agree (finnaly someone speaking out of being tortured by shit moderators being able to be anonymous as automod)
