Everything I hate is now tankie. We must stop this by getting them to censor what we think is tankie

    Those are all Rule 1 violations, which reads, “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.” (and includes a link up the code of conduct).

    These babies are repeating infantilizing orientalist memes and are surprised when the rules are applied to them, lol. Some of them probably don’t even realize it because they’re so used to playing pretend about the see see pee and the oppressed Chinese people in their imaginations that they actually think they are stating facts.

    Deeply unserious people.

    PS remember when lemmy.world preemptively defederated from hexbear (in the justification they say defend is “as a last resort” lol)?

    Lemmy.world must be full of the biggest piss babies of the Lemmyverse. All of the most annoying elements of liberalism mixed together to form the ultimate clown show. clown

    I’ve been banned from .ml for being a ‘racist’ for being anti-Xi, despite the fact that I am Chinese, and pointed out my ethnicity as such in the discussion. I guess antisemitic Jews aren’t the only weird accusation getting thrown about nowadays.

    Lol, oh no. The poster immediately under this is going on some long winded rant that Japan should have been nuked harder, it was the only way to save more people

    and also

    Lemmy.ml is a cancer on the Fediverse. If we want it to survive, we need to cut it off.

    Prime specimen of someone who needs to touch grass, the userbase at lemmy.ml is trash, but not for why they think

      So funny how braindead liberals truly are in the age of the internet and 60+ years of historical analysis and declassified info we have now that wasn’t available back then. What do you even call an ideology where you can determine that

      Nuking civilians with atom bombs multiple times: Good

      Banning me from a fringe forum because I’m ideologically opposed to you: Bad

      You’re right you’re right, liberals I’m so fucking sorry. I don’t know how in my warped little authoritarian mind I convinced myself that banning you specifically on the internet is morally superior to nuclear hellfire wiping out entire bloodlines. Please forgive me for the love of god

        I think that’s a bit reductionist. Their argument was more “I stumbled into an instance that had vastly different views, but I’m from reddit so I only looked at the comm” or something.

    I looked up the OP in the modlog and saw:

    Holy shit the lack of self awareness.

    LemmyWorld did this EXACT thing to absolutely everyone posting a view left of the US State Dept. It’s what got Hexbear defederated, it’s what got me banned despite the fact I broke NO rules besides supporting Lenin/USSR and posting about those things.

    They are ridiculous. They do this exact thing to everyone to their left and then they can’t fucking take it if anyone else does it to them. Even when in this case it’s just literally cracking down on the mindless misinformation and bullshit libs peddle about this event.

    When they unban lenins2ndcat so I can go back to the massive amount of effective posting I was doing on their instance then they can start whining about censorship elsewhere. They do it themselves if a communist is effective enough to get upvotes there. There were a dozen subreddits ready to migrate too and they killed that shit stonedead and put the brakes on the entire movement to swap from reddit to lemmy with their bullshit. Literally everyone saw what lemmyworld was doing and said nahhhh fuck that in the backrooms at the peak of everyone being motivated to move.

    You know, this makes me sad and I can’t really nail down why. I think it’s because their ignorance is so pointless. I want .ml to maintain its current position because it’s the closest thing we have to a place where we can talk with them. I feel like, for many of them, their current position on what “tankies” (Marxists) are and what they think is holding on by the skin of its teeth, reliant completely on enculturation because it’s wildly out of step with what the vast, vast majority of Marxists on any instance actually say.

    I hope some of them come to understand and accept how they’ve been lied to.

      ml should absolutely not cave to libs just because they are not used to having their worldview challenged.

    The supporting evidence is a cable from a British guy who heard all these terrible things from a random source. I wonder why that source’s account differs from all the other contemporary reports of that day

    A lot of the dead bodies in those pictures are specifically labeled PLA soldiers too

    Idiots

    People are naive if they think the .ml admins and devs don’t intend to keep their thumb on the Lemmy scale. More instances need to take this threat seriously and defederate from .ml, and possibly even fork the Lemmy repos for when the devs inevitably decide they want to start building quiet exploits into the code. There are serious cyber security implications here that people are sleeping on

    Honestly unhinged.

    That’s the most frustrating part. These “leftists” are the stupid kind who seem to care more about relitigating idiotic cold war drama than evolving or pushing forward leftist philosophy. It’s straight up brain rot, mixed with obvious right wing agitprop disguised as leftist ideology.

    What cold war drama? What right wing agitprop?

    A hexbear in that thread is literally claiming that “the soldiers did everything they could to avoid hurting him” when there’s a photo of him lying dead on the street after the tanks have gone through. They don’t think it’s fine, they’re saying it didn’t happen (curious) [47]

    Doesn’t post the proof, unfortunately. Fortunately, a bunch of other people are correcting them.

    The threat is bigger than that though. These people control the code base and can easily just start running modified code to fuck with various aspects of federation to generally keep their finger on the scale of any instance which federates with them. At best they have shown they have no shame and cannot be trusted. If there is any means of abusing their power, it must be assumed that they will embrace it.

    Again literally no evidence that .ml has abused the federation algorithm or whatever.

      Also it’s open source so if you want to see what’s in the code base just go fuckin look?

      And if you don’t know how to read the code then shut the fuck up?

      Libs are deeply unserious

      Love it when they start feeling themselves and just end up talking like a Netflix show character.

        we have no shame (true) and that means we’re untrustworthy for some reason

        also commies powerhungry and that’s why…checks notes…we constantly fight for the powerless instead of selling out to a capitalist?

        we really need to study these tadpoles brainworms
