It's not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.

I'm not sure that comment serves you the most, but sure
Maybe not, depending on if people already made up their mind to side with that person or against me, then yeah it won't serve me much.
They were very clearly being needlessly antagonistic and accusatory towards someone who was trying to defend others being harassed and help get rid of a horribly toxic user.
The start of it makes no sense, either. Why would I have known at all about some other alts being banned from dbzer0 when I had blocked the instance a long time ago? No one brought that up at all nor does it matter in the context of the issue at hand.
Honestly, if that's not obvious and someone thinks that comment is fine, then that is a perfect example of why I'm starting to hate Lemmy.
