Tried to talk with them. They banned and canceled many of my comments. So I blocked their instances.
They give anticapitalism a bad name.
They're not really anti-capitalists even, given their love for China and russia
They give anticapitalism a bad name
That's the point
Tried that too. They will waste your time and 'win' by tiring you out. Literally not one braincell to be found in lemmy.ml
They're basically an authoritarian bootlickers
That's what I tried to say.
Moving on from being slave of the corpos, to being slave of the party isn't such a progress.
If it goes really wrong it can end like China. Slaves to both corpos and party. Like Europeans in the middle age with their heads between the lord and the priest.
Can you block a whole instance from your client?
Edit: oh I just noticed voyager supports this too. Never had to use it.
Yep, I'm using Boost App.
I think tankies built this thing for you in the first place.
Doesn't excuse them being tankies
If you blocked the triad (lemmygrad, hexbear and lemmy.ml) you could avoid them. They started to create accounts on other instances, so this recommendation doesn't work anymore.
The user labeling feature of voyager is very useful, mark the ones you don't want to debate. I found it's very few users who actually spread their bullshit outside political communities, so ignore political comms on lemmy, they only debate about amerikan stuff there anyway.
Blocking them isn't enough. It's the racist joke problem.
You might think your racist joke is just a joke and really you don't mean it and you're not actually that racist. Unfortunately, your joke is also helping to provide a space and acceptance for actual racists and teaching others that culture is acceptable.
Just by being here we're providing the content that gives them a platform. Defederation helps somewhat. Blocking really doesn't.
Tankies make racist jokes? Why is this the first I'm reading about this? I thought it was mostly campist revisionist discussion they engaged in.
It's an analogy about the same problem. By providing content in a space where they're posting, we're helping to spread tankie bullshit.
It's the same reason the middle east is trying to buy up all the sports and esports, to help sanewash their bullshit.
Oof okay that must have went right over my head. Thanks for the explanation.
But how could you possibly know anything about things you and your family personally suffered through? Silly little barbarian…
You're welcome to come join MULTIVERSE! We're a PieFed instance running software developed by non-tankies, and we're defederated from the tankie triad (.ml, lemmygrad, hexbear)
Don’t feel bad. It feels the same way for everyone else here too.
How do you define tankie? Here it normally means left of OP
How do you feel about the Russia-Ukraine war?
Generally it's someone who glorifies authoritarian regimes like China and Russia despite their obvious issues with human rights
feels like it as a western european too :p they are just lolcows tho like r/conservative is on reddit
I really should move over to PieFed at some point, but I can't be arsed to move accounts again. And my instance is defederated from the tankie triad, so... small blessings?
Edit: typo
We'd be happy to have you over here on PieFed. We have communities grouped by topic to make them easy to find, and you can tag users from your end to give them a custom label of your choosing. (Like "That girl who posts gay memes")
Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
We allow posts about tankie behavior, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. Please redirect any Fediverse tankie-posts to !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works to avoid bringing drama to Piefed.social
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it
