how I look while typing replies:
-
I can't tell whether a meme featuring a character from a Chinese game company is part of the joke or coincidental.
Either way, I upvote for Silver Wife.
-
Hell yeah, spread it out for everyone to see.
Noice
-
Oh gawd that is rich, do authoritarians pay you for these sick memes!?
-
Lemmy.ml is the devil tempting good leftists to sin. They pretend to be leftists, but the admins are transphobic. It's a trap designed to trick leftists into supporting transphobia. That way they won't get to go to heaven.
-
I was made a moderator here after calling out cis shitters being transphobic in our trans comm; the only admin we have beef with is Nutomic, the rest have been fine.
-
Lol yeah you sound like a jesus fan, physically incapable of understanding anything outside the context of sin and damnation
-
You were on the right track but then fell off

-
Every time I see an anti-.ml meme I wonder, why are people so worried about people seeing .ml content? If they're jerks, wouldn't you want people to stumble into .ml and find out?
-
Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism. Since .ml is tangentially leftist aligned...
-
Authoritarians are not leftists LMAO
-
Anti-leftism is an all consuming, load-bearing pillar of fascism.
litewally im in the anti-bad guy good guys cwub, if you'we not in the anti-bad guy good guy cwub ur litewally a bad guy
Edit: in before the guy who originally made this joke is litewally a bad guy. Ok, I don't know him, it is just a relevant joke
-
-
Certain people just like echo chambers and can't see the value of opposing beliefs or arguments, no matter the level of sense that those may or not make.
-
Libs vs tankies is just an extension of imperial conflict.
-
My conspiracy is that people are trying to ramp up enough of a campaign to defederate from .ml, not knowing it's history on Lemmy and how most .ml users are actually quite chill and actually genuine people once you get to know them. I mean Jesus Christ guys, .ml users arent all bots.
-
It does seem that way. I think you're right
-
-
.ml is just the latest designated "tankie" instance. So far it's the third one. Once .world defederates from .ml, the same people who currently hate .ml will designate another "tankie" instance to hate.
-
So .world is extremely anti free speech? Is there an easy way I can block all of .world from my feed then?
-
People designated .ml as a tankie instance for very good reason: the admins of .ml have repeatedly shown to be pro-authoritarian.
For years now I've seen incessant gaslighting from tankies pretending that "tankie" is some catch-all term baselessly thrown around like "woke". However, I've pretty much exclusively seen the term "tankie" used to describe people who support authoritarian regimes/dictatorships.
-
-
During the Reddit exodus, there were lots of complaints about left wing extremism. Most of them were landing on ml, grad or hexbear. This isn't a good thing in the long run, so the bad press is necessary; otherwise this place risks being branded as "tankie HQ" before we can get some real traffic here.
-
No one "worries" about seeing it. It's that if you engage with anyone from, or anything posted in, a .ml, about any topic at all, you'll eventually be hit with "capitalism causes all problems in the universe" or the rest of their standard "I'm 19 and this is deep" tankie talking points like some mandatory checklist of things they have to cram into every post or they get kicked out of the instance. It's exhausting and pointless. No one runs around elsewhere in Lemmy making it a point to defend capitalism, so it's just of a constant eye-roll when "I'm an independent thinker! Here's the same thing we all say!" happens.
Edit: OOOh, seems like I struck a nerve, eh?
-
When people post comments like yours or memes like the above it really comes off as defending capitalism and the status quo...
-
You clearly haven't engaged with anything, and lol @ "independent thinker" from someone defending the dominant economic and political system, which fyi is exactly what you're doing
-
capitalism causes all problems in the universe
-
No one “worries” about seeing it.
Then block them and quit whining that people don't like exploitation as much as you.
-
-
Im an anarcho communist and i can not fucking stand tankies. Especially the vangaurd dipshits
-
Anarcho communism...anarchosyndicalism...Christ I wanna take all these obfuscations, crumple them into a ball of just plain anarchy, and burn it. No offense of course!
-
Wait until you meet the other people who hate tankies.
-
Tell me one (1) successful socialist revolution you support
Or, better, do you support the Spanish Civil War anarchists (who lost to fascism) more than the Bolsheviks (who won)?
-
-
I just joined because it didn't require an email to sign up. Not sure what else happens in this instance tbh.
-
A ton of tankie stuff
-
It’s not as bad as it’s made out to be, but there are mods there that are the “whitest of knights” for authoritarians, despots, and fascists while pretending that it’s not the polar opposite of leftism.
-
it's where all the tankies (supposed leftists who don't understand that there's no existing state that works for the good of its people) hang out. tbh I have no issues with the non political .ml users
-
supposed leftists who don’t understand that there’s no existing state that works for the good of its people
Back in my day, yall were kind enough to wear a mask and not say the quiet part through a bullhorn.
The worst allies anyone could hope for...

I chortled

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!

Huzzah, that was my hope!

-
So I should avoid Libertarians, OpenBSD, and the IWW?
-
I don't know about the rest but yeah libertarians generally suck. But they can be really funny, just not when they're trying to tell jokes.
For my favorite of all time, go to r/libertarian and search "age of consent", then sort by controversial
-
Also libertarians support... checks notes...
selling children as consumer goods in accord with market forces
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard#Children's_rights_and_parental_obligations
-
-
Yes you should definitely avoid libertarians. They’re not living in reality. The other two are probably fine.
-
Fair enough (OpenBSD is an operating system and the IWW is a major union)
-

I thought this was a weird submission to unix_surrealism at first thanks to my brain immediately going to the puffer
… grendel is a psyop
-
Why do so many tankies hang out on a Mali top level domain?
-
Must be exhausting to continously maintain your campaign against .ml
Why not just block and move on with your life?
-
Well they don't have a job so to them, starting weird fights about instances is their job.
-
Teen drama behavior on display for the tiniest possible audience.
-
Many do, however, we still see the excrement seeping into other instances.
-
Why comment at all, wouldn't it be easier to block and move on with your life?
You see, that's the fun of all this!
Let's up those numbers people!
 named themself after a genocidal warlord
Edit: only on Lemmy will you find people who read shit like this and say "that's not a genocide, those women and children deserved to be executed for the crime of being French"
-
They ban everything that disagrees with pro-Russian/Chinese propaganda.
-
It's full of whackjobs that love far-left authoritarian regimes. They're doing the left a huge disservice because they're bat shit crazy.
-
With claims like this, you make it very easy to dismiss what you're saying, but given that I kinda can guess what you mean if I give you the biggest benefit of the doubt humanly imaginable, are you referring to the type of people who say shit like "we should form a party" completely oblivious to the way their own politcal system works and the fact that it would only ensure that the only path to escaping the regime was sealed shut?
-
-
-
I love you Lemmy never change.
-
OpenBSD
-
whats wrong with ml?
-
Take a look and find out for yourself.
-
Lib vs tankie world viewpoint:
-
There’s a large Marxist-Leninist smear campaign happening on Lemmy right now, with most people centering their hate on users of lemmy.ml
-
tankies, the triads of tankies on lemmy. because the left version of MAGA, although they have many parallels of right wings, so basically a mirror version.
-
People see what they want to see? I've seen content I don't agree with on several instances but the main reason I've got my main on lemmy.ml over Beehaw is because it annoys me greatly that there's so often posts I don't see that are relevant to me or just communities that seem accessible but inactive but are actually blocked without the interface saying so. This spuriously makes it seems as if a community is dead.
To avoid ambiguity: Trump is a sentient lump of metastatic cancer and many right leaning people are limp-dick insecure ignorant assholes.

Me too, and my timeline have improved by a lot.

Thanks for the laugh.

Openbsd?

Up row: python (?) openBSD
Low row: (?) lemmy
Okey
-
Did you read the subtitle? xD
-
-
Do you people have any idea just how much signage costs? It way cheaper to have everything figure out it's own danger sign.
-
Their defense mechanism is just to simply ban what they don’t like. Sooner or later, their little walled garden is going to start smelling like shit from the smug arrogance of all the fart-smellers that pretend to have a clue.
-
Pure projection
-
You're back today, this is gonna be so good.
-
Fucking hilarious.
Why don’t you go and read the modlogs yourself. Then head over to any one of the several communities dedicated to calling their shit out.
Closing your eyes and plugging your ears doesn’t make things not happen. You should take this newfound knowledge back to the hive and spread it around. Bets that you get banned for it
-
-
I mean, all moderated spaces on the internet suffer from this problem. Lemmy.blahaj.zone has a blanket ban on all Marxist-Leninists because they think we are all authoritarian. Which, btw, is hilariously ironic. An anarchist space on an anti-censorship platform has a rule that says “No Authoritarians,” but they resort to Authoritarianism to enforce it. You can’t make this shit up.
-
You should read more. Authoritarian doesn't mean "When there's rules".
-
Same energy as "how can you claim to be tolerant if you don't tolerate fascism"
-
Blahaj is genius, best place to maintain an account. In fact there was such a big fight one of the big mods in .ML was banned for gatekeeping and they've been incredibly butthurt ever since.
thankfully the mod team over there is excellent and not made up of chronically online authoritarian-obsessed weirdos. I think the lack of access to them, the truth thar blahaj called to their bigotry, really affects them.

As if lemmy.world isn't a total pile of shit
-
I’ve never been banned from lemmy.world for describing my own experience when I was in Cuba 🙃
-
I was banned from !world@lemmy.world simply for asking for evidence for claims made about China.
-
Me neither, but I have never been to Cuba.
/j
-
I got banned there for linking readsettlers.org and posting a video critical of Ukraine. Then for calling out the mod who banned me because he said "he vets everything before a ban" even though he clearly hadn't in my case.
I got banned from feddit.org for calling out Genocidesmany's role in the palestinian genocides
Just yesterday I caught a ban on lefty memes for calling the azov brigade nazis.
-
Lemmy.world communities will ban for pushing back against the western narrative, and pointing out their struggles are due to illegal sanctions, and not any failures of communism. Lemmy.ml communities won’t tolerate the willful ignorance.
Not the flex you think it is.
-
Lol doubt it
-
If that's your gold standard for a pile of shit, have you considered that you've been fooled to be content with a polished turd?
-
-
The meme isn't about lemmy.world. World has a shit ton of issues, including shitty admin and moderator behaviour, sure, but that's not relevant to this meme.
-
-
-
W meme
-
This comment section is solid gold. You'll be able to come back and harvest new posts any time you want until they lock it, if they don't it's gonna go for days and just pick up steam.
Great job my man!

Dank

You are welcome back on Reddit I am sure. Good luck with that.
-
Why are we fighting culture wars when the real enemy is Reddit and non-free social media?
This infighting seems unproductive and frankly a waste of time.
EDIT: damn
-
Tell this the powertripping bastards at lemmy.ml, trying to censor everything that is not 100% aligned with their extremist views.
-
We're fighting the same people — fascists. These ones are just cosplaying as leftists
-
This infighting seems unproductive and frankly a waste of time.
as opposed to what pressing matters the community has on our plate?
-
Reddit and other non-free social media is the result of capitalism, have you considered similar negative effects would occur if the opposite world view was in power?
Reddit is part of the culture war. Lemmy.ml is part of the culture war. Lemmy.world is part of the culture war. Everything is part of the culture war.
-
dude it's internet slap fighting, everything that happens here is on such a small scale that it's barely a culture skirmish
-
I think the strength of a federated social media is that it's easy to change instance and infighting is a way to have this discussion and come to conclusions. You wouldn't convince people to leave reddit by posting on lemmy and you wouldn't turn a tankie into an anarchosyndicalist but you might reach people unaware about what instance they landed on or raise awareness about how to interact with communities and users on .ml. Why have a federated network anyway when you refuse to engage with the concept of federation?
-
Tankies are authoritarians, they aren't allies. Historically they're the ones killing leftists as soon as they gain power.
-
By defeating Tsarism, Nazism and doubling life expectancy, Bolsheviks actually saved tens of millions of leftist lives. In the same sense that you probably (hopefully) support Palestine even if right now they're not very socially progressive regarding leftism, LGBT and women's rights, you may understand why a state under the threat of Nazism invading went through serious disturbances.

-
If lemmy.ml is like a startled cat to you maybe it's time to treat them differently?
-
-
Yeah, def not an ML symbol
-
-
Spay & neuter them?
-
A snake, a cat, a living toxic ball full of venom ...and a puffer fish.
the rattlesnake is also venomous,
I am American and say .ml is the perfect representation of the American population.
Is it sarcasm?
Not at all. The only group I have ever seen that is as toxic as .ML was The Donald on Reddit. The Mods and users are literal propaganda machines and they all have alts and abuse the shit out of everyone who doesn't boot lick authoritarians.
I honestly believe they are no different than the Alt-right. Maybe it is one of those horse shoe things, but more likely they are just disingenuous conservatives.
nope, it would be center-right wing with a dash of "further right, but not maga right as a whole. is representative of america, ultra-left wing is a very small minority often with a younger population that isnt cognizant of history of "left leaning governments', decades of anti-communist propaganda see to that a left leaning party never has power.
