Tankies and fascists have more in common with each other, and feudalists, than they do with workers/socialists. I’m convinced the horseshoe theory is just narcissism presenting across the political spectrum.
Only a fucking narcissist could believe authoritarianism, control, and subjugation are desirable. That’s why its delusions of grandeur and megalomania all the way down.
Authoritarians gonna auth. Why particular holy book they wave around, the Bible, das Kapital, mein Kampf or whatever they have in North Korea is merely incidental.
Just got majorly downvoted on works for asking why free speech is a bad thing and the only response was a snarky comment saying I’m from 300 years ago.
I’m about to delete my account after being on here for a year and a half because most popular Lemmy instances are just turning into the worst parts of twitter exiles.
Don’t be childish, you must know that going against the circlejerk/hivemind is a guaranteed downvote brigade on any social media site. But depending on the thread/community/server/phase of the moon, the hivemind can believe completely contradictory things.
You just have to read the room, and if you’re going against the general mood in the thread, you have to put in extra effort to get your point across. And sometimes you just wear the downvotes like a badge of honor, because it means you’re not a sheep.
That was my experience in topical sections of reddit. Often the first few comments determined how the entire post would go, and you could get completely different results saying the same thing on different days. Same with replies I guess.
I guess because Lemmy is getting so many more active users after twitter and Reddit fallouts that some of the qualities that it used to have regarding are being drown out.
No, but why do you reply that to my message? Seems wholly irrelevant
Why is online discourse so cancerous. Idiot above me puts words in my mouth and gets upvoted and I got downvoted. I never called them leftists, learn to fucking read.
My first account was on .ml, and it took me about half an hour to get completely jumped by a bunch of Stalinists. Ended up deleting my account, and was hesitant to create a new one.
Thankfully, it seems to be two instances, and I’ve blocked them both. My experience after that has been great.
Tankies are just fashists who are exploiting the glitch that makes the ideology behind the largest mass murders in history more socially acceptable in the west.
I finally just blocked the entire instance. A lot of those folks aren’t exactly… right.
The hardcore tankies as just as bad as holocaust deniers.

I’d say the equivalent in Nork is probably On the Juche Idea

Different time of day and week in smaller communities can contribute as well to pretty big shifts in response.

It’s not though. Lemmy active userbase hasn’t grown at all in over a year. We need all the users we can get.

Immediately defederating any right-wingers will tend to do that
You mean sh.itjust.works when you say works?
It was on [email protected], you can see the comment on their profile
Pretty sure most of them are holocaust deniers, just not the Holocaust you’re thinking of.
Same. I really wanted to be around other leftists but holy fuck the vast majority of them need serious help.
Wait, is ml supposed to be left leaning? 😂
They leaned so far to the left they ended up doing a headstand
That’s kinda the definition of tankies no? Being so pro Soviet/china that you become what you were supposed to hate, an imperialist
Being in favour of authoritarian regimes does not make one a leftist

Three instances. ML, Lemmygrad, and Hexbear
I haven’t seen the actual Lemmygrad in my feed in a year, even on this sub.
Lemmygrab gets defederated a lot, your instance admin probably decided they aren’t worth it and blocked them entirely.
Sorted in the increasing amount of awfulness I assume

How do you do that? I’ve reached my limit.
I think it depends on your instance and/or app you’re using.
I’m using Arctic for iOS, and it has an option to block an instance.
(Sorry, I’m late responding 🤦🏻♂️)
