    Jesus, that thread

    Their “anti-Orientalism” (read as pro-tankie) policy has been known for a good while.

    kombucha-disgust

    Lemmy.ml was always garbage and I blocked almost every community there because most of their posts are about capitalism or landlords

    100% this person is a landlord

    this really upsetting since they have c/technology and c/privacy communities. Someone might post something like high-tech surveillance of actvtists or Uyghurs

    lmao this is from the thread’s OP

    Lemmy dot ml is like, one step away from becoming another Lemmygrad.

          “Leftist as they come” always means “i’m a complete reactionary, but not as openly fascist as the people i hang out with.” It’s basically admitting you’re the Tim Pool for your local chuds.

      As pointed out in the linked comment chain, the person might just be old enough to be referring to the Nazis. Another indication of this is that the person is posting from a German domain, so probably born there, so probably referring to being born there but earlier.

        Why do you think they mention Nazis and Gas chambers when the comment about it was about online communists? Cause they try to imply communists would act like Nazis.

        They mention the Nazis in relation to communists tankies and hexbear though.

        spoiler

        It was always a tankie den. The Lemmy developers are very openly tankies.

        Reading this really troubles me. I don’t like the implication that using lemmy is pushing authoritarian ideology.

        If I was born 50 yrs earlier I would literally have been put in the gas chamber. I tick several qualifiers for it.

        I have openly wondered if now, thanks to the wider adoption outside of the tankosphere, would be a good time for a cornerstone fork to put these concerns to bed. It would be nothing more than a signaling that the proverbial hands have changed, but it would certainly soothe these kinds of concerns.

        I really enjoyed reading your explanation. Thank you very much.
        This calms me down quite a bit. :) have a good day.

        So what the person calms down is that lemmy might get a tankie free fork. So I stay with my reading of it.

          In addition MinekPo1 [She/Her] who said not all SS troops out to be sentenced to death is using sources from the Black Book of communism (which she likely learned of after hexbear users did challenge her views).

          • user is from Germany apparently

          To me it looks pretty clear cut that they are referring to the Nazis and are implying that both Tankies and Nazis are authoritarians, which is why they used that word instead of Tankie. You do you though.

          Off topic: If you put the appropriate number of > (the space following the > is semantic) on the empty lines between the quotes they will connect. Had me a bit confused for a second there because I divided by paragraphs intuitively.

          Back to topic: I don’t see anything supporting your hypothesis in those quotes.

              Because they are creating an equivalence between Tankies and Nazis in their mind, viewing both of them as authoritarian, so from their perspective it is related.

              Just as a disclaimer, I’m not here to say their statement makes sense, just that I think you misinterpreted their intended meaning.

                I think you two were talking past eachother. You both seem aware that the user being quoted was equivocating nazis and communists because muh authoritarianism, but it seems JuneFall interpreted your comments as agreeing that the equivocation is correct. I interpreted your comments in the thread similarly until I got to this one.

      gets to do whatever he wants to your sons and your daughters, and you and your working class have no recourse.

      But all of that is just the cost of business and acceptable if it’s billionaires doing whatever they please with their hoards epsteingelion

    I’ve been very lenient with libs. I generally let them say whatever they want as long as they say it in a respectable manner and don’t break general rules. Don’t really remove any pro Ukraine threads either rn.

    Edit: It’s just Dessalines removing stuff a lot. He is become authoritarian.

    Here are my mod actions(I’ve been too much of a liberal here sadly)

      Hot take: lemmy.ml is robust enough that it often tackles Nazi apologia on its own without intervention, so it might be better to let some of those posts through just so they can get dogpiled.

      I think you can hammer harder, they are currently pissing and shitting themselves just because you removed some really indefensible shit, they will do so anyway about everything.

    That entire linked thread:

    Holy shit that’s a whole lot of tears, butthurt and scratching.

    There is nothing like the scratched lib who discovers they can’t spew fascist lies.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
