Leaving the fediverse

Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it's tankies all the way down, and it's just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow, well, until the nazis and tankies are gone, that shit just ain't gonna happen.

Y'all have fun.

Except the nazis/tankies.

Y'all go play in traffic.

Theres still hundreds of options for you to try, including Kbin which is completely different from Lemmy.
Sounds like you want to either create an account on Lemmy.world where all the tankie and fash instances are already blocked or wait a few weeks/months for the user specific domain blocking update to go through.
- Guess which instance banned me, leading to my point. They are still tankie-sympathetic, as noted by the fact the JUST NOW defederated from lemmygrad. They hide it well, but they still have that lean.
  
  Well, that's one instance. Sh.itjust.works had them blocked from the get go
  
  Yeah I really don’t agree with that. I want to be on an instance that only defederates as a last resort. As stated in the defederation post, they only just now fully defederated as the volume of lemmygrad’s rule violating exceeded their ability to moderate.
  
  You're like wanting to ban all food because you ate a stale burger.
Man, I did not realize how much I missed this kind of dumb high school drama type of social media post until I saw this one.

Oh no Brian, please don't go... the Fediverse needs you! 😂

Thanks for the soap opera fix!
You know what's more effective than a post about leaving?

Just leaving.
I don't see many tankies, maybe its the communities you're subscribed to?
- I've seen very little. Theyre mostly congregated on hexbear and keep to themselves unless summoned.
- Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.
  
  Nice instance name!
- i browse nothing but all. I've seen maybe a handful of posts that maybe featured a single tankie in the comments.
  
  granted, I'm on kbin. maybe that's making the difference
  
  I'm on kbin too. I haven't seen any of the things that I see a lot of posts complaining about. (Beehaw, hexbear)
  
  I'm also pretty far left. I'm not a tankie though. I'm curious how much of the complaining is just right wingers removed about reasonable opinions
You know there is other instances that is more focused on other stuff than what you're referring to right?

Lemmy.world for instance just defederated from Leningrad.
- From Leningrad? Impressive :-D
Cringe lol
Good luck finding a safe space where everyone agrees only with you.
- Or make your own, like the tankie mod is doing.
- I ain't asking anyone to agree with me. They are the ones who banned someone for disagreeing with them.
  
  That is when you unsubscribe.
You're not a train, you don't have to announce your departure.
Do you see "tankies" in the room with you right now?
- Yes, they are behind you doing bunny ears behind your head.
  
  Oh, shit, I'M in the room with you right now?!? Am......am I a......"tankie"????
Waaa there aren't enough reactionaries, waa
- Interesting take.
I've never heard of "tankie" before...can I just google it?
- Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.

I love how people still think it’s the 1950’s.

Grow up loser dad who probably never got an actual education or has any experience traveling.
- What in tarnation!? 🤠
From seeing your responses in this thread, your opinion is not what got you banned, your attitude is. You for sure should be banned even if you were talking that way while agreeing with the people that would be banning you.

If you don't want bad things to happen to you on social media, don't post while angry.
kbin.social + aggressive blocking magazines is pretty cool
Tbf, most of the fediverse isn't lemmy.
Just ban them yourself, and you will end up with tankie free community.
Ok champ
I just block the instances, which one can do on kbin.social. Easy way to not have to bother with the dictatorship and genocide supporting tankie trash.
Kbin is a bit saner on average, in my experience.
Great idea, terrible execution.

That sounds kind of like communism. lol
- For real. Like, I get the concept of commune living, but the larger the commune, the more of a threat human nature becomes.
No matter what, “tankie” will always sound so goddamn stupid. I’ll never get over learning that was even a thing until getting on this platform.

If you really want to entertain us take a selfie and post it.
Well you kids have been a barrel of fun, but it's time for sundown. Try not to let the extreme fringes burn this place to the ground! Holler at y'all never! 🤠
- kbye
- Good riddance lol
