Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it’s tankies all the way down, and it’s just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow, well, until the nazis and tankies are gone, that shit just ain’t gonna happen.
Y’all have fun.
Except the nazis/tankies.
Y’all go play in traffic.
You must log in or # to comment.
Theres still hundreds of options for you to try, including Kbin which is completely different from Lemmy.
Sounds like you want to either create an account on Lemmy.world where all the tankie and fash instances are already blocked or wait a few weeks/months for the user specific domain blocking update to go through.
Guess which instance banned me, leading to my point. They are still tankie-sympathetic, as noted by the fact the JUST NOW defederated from lemmygrad. They hide it well, but they still have that lean.
Well, that’s one instance. Sh.itjust.works had them blocked from the get go
Shhh, this conversation is about lemmy.world
I thought it was about the fediverse as whole?
This specific thread in the comments, you apricot. See, this lack of common sense and reading comprehension is infuriating too.
I think with your attitude everyone would be better off with your departure.
Thanks for your unrequested opinion! 🤠
Huh, yeah you seem cool and reasonable, such a mystery that you got banned somewhere else!

You’re like wanting to ban all food because you ate a stale burger.
Yeah I really don’t agree with that. I want to be on an instance that only defederates as a last resort. As stated in the defederation post, they only just now fully defederated as the volume of lemmygrad’s rule violating exceeded their ability to moderate.
I hear lemm.ee has a pretty open federation policy.
Ah, so you want a free speech instance. So if that is what lemmy.world is supposed to be, why do they ban folks that disagree with them? Why do they delete comments? What you are describing and what lemmy.world is are not matching up, my friend.
They don’t purport to be a free speech instance. Bans I’ve seen are for rule breaking, but I’ll admit I have found some of their interpretations of spamming or trolling to be heavy handed. I’ve said as much in meta threads and haven’t been banned so I’ve stuck around. There’s so many instances out there now I’m sure you can find something that aligns with your personal views.
They want a safe and welcoming community that abhors violence. Free speech isn’t part of the offer. You have to be nice and smile whether you like it or not.
Man, I did not realize how much I missed this kind of dumb high school drama type of social media post until I saw this one.
Oh no Brian, please don’t go… the Fediverse needs you! 😂
Thanks for the soap opera fix!
Cringe lol
You know what’s more effective than a post about leaving?
Just leaving.
I don’t see many tankies, maybe its the communities you’re subscribed to?
I’ve seen very little. Theyre mostly congregated on hexbear and keep to themselves unless summoned.
Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.
Nice instance name!
i browse nothing but all. I’ve seen maybe a handful of posts that maybe featured a single tankie in the comments.
granted, I’m on kbin. maybe that’s making the difference
I’m on kbin too. I haven’t seen any of the things that I see a lot of posts complaining about. (Beehaw, hexbear)
I’m also pretty far left. I’m not a tankie though. I’m curious how much of the complaining is just right wingers bitching about reasonable opinions
Good luck finding a safe space where everyone agrees only with you.
Or make your own, like the tankie mod is doing.
I ain’t asking anyone to agree with me. They are the ones who banned someone for disagreeing with them.
That is when you unsubscribe.
Cool, my account is gone, but whatever. I think my life will be better without this place in general. So I’ll pass.
You going to run into the exact same types anywhere you go. You have to learn to not feed the trolls.
What if I go nowhere? What if I just abandon this social media dopamine dispenser altogether? Then I won’t have to listen to asshats from half way around the world try to explain why genocide is okay sometimes.
For someone who says they are leaving, you’re really dragging it out.
I mean, why not have one last hurrah in the comments?
You get dopamine from this?
that’s obviously your call, but if what you were expecting here is something you desire, where else are you going to get that?
(im asking this question genuinely, I’d like to know if there are other alternatives out there.)
No worries! I think I need to focus on actual social interaction, rather than the facade social media portrays. I like talking to people and listening to their stories, ideas, and ideals. I have a habit of stress-testing those ideals, but generally out of a desire to strengthen them by acknowledging the pitfalls they contain. I’m a social chameleon that is as fascinated my human nature as I am annoyed by it. Thing is, online interaction strips so much nuance from conversation that it takes so much extra effort to say something. It’s like talking to a brick wall sometimes.

Do you see “tankies” in the room with you right now?
Yes, they are behind you doing bunny ears behind your head.
Oh, shit, I’M in the room with you right now?!? Am…am I a…“tankie”???
You know there is other instances that is more focused on other stuff than what you’re referring to right?
Lemmy.world for instance just defederated from Leningrad.
From Leningrad? Impressive :-D
I’ve never heard of “tankie” before…can I just google it?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.
You’re not a train, you don’t have to announce your departure.
Waaa there aren’t enough reactionaries, waa
Interesting take.
From seeing your responses in this thread, your opinion is not what got you banned, your attitude is. You for sure should be banned even if you were talking that way while agreeing with the people that would be banning you.
If you don’t want bad things to happen to you on social media, don’t post while angry.
I love how people still think it’s the 1950’s.
Grow up loser dad who probably never got an actual education or has any experience traveling.
What in tarnation!? 🤠
