Any voting encouragement on LSC is now consistently removed by an MLer on the mod team.
The days .world is safe from tankie censorship are over. Voting in the midterms is straightup the same as zionism.
And for some inexplicable reason the Fediverse seems to be bleeding MAU…
Yeah. The trouble is that many are coming in via .world, just unsure about the federation model and picking an instance with momentum or critical mass to avoid losing an account and having to re-register with a different instance.
Recently there was a ‘celebration’ on .world for reaching 200k users, and it went over most people’s head that with declining monthly actives, this essentially means average people are joining, and seeing the extremism, getting a few random perma bans without reason and long, fairly sensible comments removed with obscure reasons. And just leaving soon after and joining the dormant club.
You’re right, it is a spread, and within the next few months/years, we will have the 2 biggest instances overrun by a very dangerous form of leftism (which in my humble opinion is akin to far right extremism) and that will be the biggest test for the fediverse yet.
Yup. Was just talking to someone else about how these tankie mods are going to drive users away from this platform. People come here to escape Reddit’s censorship. Many of them are arriving and being instantly banned or having their comments deleted by these scumbag losers and giving them the wrong impression of the platform. It’s becoming a real issue.
Tankies were here first, the liberal Reddit crowd that all jumped ship a few years back willingly joined a platform created and maintained by communists then constantly complain about there being too many communists. Less charitable tankies might have exorcised liberalism from Lemmy entirely.
Tankies aren’t Communists.
Who was here first and what they are called - or more accurately - called themselves is irrelevant. They are calling for violence, they are censoring, and they are actively attempting to subvert young people who don’t yet have a clear understanding of the puppetmasters.
They could have been fairies and been here first. It is about what they are doing and how it will affect all of us into the future.
Edit: your post history doesn’t look very compatible with this community.
That edit, Yikes. Wouldn’t wanna be them
Good. There’s no place for propaganda in a free world.
Native Americans were here first too. Times change. More non-tankies here now.
If tankies want to “excorcise” liberals from this platform, they are more than welcome to try. Judging by all the complaints it looks like they’re already drowning them out of their subs/instances with their tankie tears.
But if you guys keep booting us you’ll just end up like /r/conservative or /r/The_Donald. Pathetic little islands in a sea of liberal leaning, vote loving, democracy defending users.
