I apply it where it’s justified, Yogthos is infamous for it, along with davel and head honcho themself dessalines

.ml is labeled a tankie instance because dessalines and davel are admins who censor any non-tankie dissent/speech

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

Yea, “authoritarianism praiser” is too unwieldy, maybe I could balance it out with “authoritarianist”?

Haha no, I’m certainly not a tankie lmaooo

If you use an app it may or may not handle it properly or at all, but from the website you should be able to go-to feddit.nl/settings and the block tab and then you’ll have the ability to block users, comms or whole instances from there

I say it’s more of a mute because those users can still interact with your posts/comments (up/down vote, comment on) you just won’t see it. It’s been a highly discussed problem

Iirc, Broadcom (big surprise I’m sure lmao) is also shit with Linux support

Hah take that wall street, we can make line go up too!

You mean an instance block? You can do that, but it’s more of an instance “mute”

But I hear Piefed has real proper blocking of instances

That’s pretty rude TBH, judging a user just because of what site they came from is not cool, judge them for their actions and words when they get here. Not their former site

That’s when hexbear.net (part of the tankie triad) went offline because their domain expired and the domain admin was MIA. Unfortunately, they were able to reclaim it, so the graph should correct back when they start federating again

Nah voting is the minimum threshold for activity

I do apologize for the inconvenience, but for now I will have to leave you on a cliffhanger. After spending another 10 minutes looking I gave up, it’s out there though, I saw it with my own eyeballs.

Maybe I’ll write something that can do a better lemmy search or send my screenshots through OCR, but my project list atm is rather…long and has other more important things on it, ¯\_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ so who knows lmao

The article is about Signal providing info on what the Russians are doing on the app and not Ukraine using it themselves

It’s better than it was a year ago so hopefully with more ex-Redditors it’ll diversify even more

For 2 months I was instance-banned and it was wonderful, but then your wonderful davel just couldn’t let that stand and then un-instance-banned me and re-banned me from individual comms instead for the sole purpose of allowing .ml users to brigade me

Anyways, there’s plenty of documentation of .ml’s Tankie behavior on lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works I don’t warn people about that Tankie problem for no reason

Religion, humanity’s longest running practical joke gone too far

Whoever started this shit thousands of years ago is probably still laughing LMAO

Piefed is a Lemmy “competitor” that actually does some sort of “multi comm” combined view type of functionality

Piefed.social

It’s not mature yet, but last I heard interoperability was mostly ok, though had oddities

I am quite far from being a conservative and I am well aware of what happened to r/TheDonald and I am trying to walk that fine line, I plan to lock the comm entirely if I feel like it’s shifting away from true satire.

Despite what Tankies think about me, I’m actually pretty far left, I would even love to see the fall of capitalism in my lifetime. Where we differ is the fact that I don’t consider swapping out capitalism with just another form of authoritarianism is the path forward whatsoever

That being said, I’ve seen your type of opinion before, and I simply don’t agree, a lot of people need a varying range of humor to deal with harsh realities, like with the fact that MaGA and other global alt-right movements appears to be “winning”

Take a look through my comment history and it’ll be abundantly clear, to be ever more clear, Fuck Trump, Fuck Putin, Fuck Muskrat, Fuck AfD, and fuck any other Right-wing leader/political party around the world

Check the side bar, it’s a satire conservative community lol

I actually became a mod of it and turned it into a satire of the conservatives comm because the actual few conservatives here abandoned it, that’s the only reason why you guys on Blahaj can even see it because Ada had it blocked on your instance for awhile lmao

Being a Tankie doesn’t mean just being a communist, being a tankie is defined as "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof. "

You guys censor anybody who speaks against Russia/NK/or the CCP and it’s well documented. People catch 14 day bans for merely saying that Drump and NK dictators are “dumb” or saying “Fuck Russia” on a meme about Russia being pushed away from getting help from Trump by the French (iirc) PM (which also got removed) and it’s also hilarious your bring up the SJW admin when one of your own did the exact same thing.

SJW isn’t right-wing, that’s just what you say about everyone whose explicitly not a tankie

I could post ever more links about the .ml censorship problem but I think made my point

!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works if you want to see more evidence everyone

lemmy.world/c/meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for those on .ml since .ml doesn’t want you to see it!
