A specter is haunting lemmy.ml
A specter is haunting lemmy.ml
I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] So, I checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog [https://lemmy.ml/modlog], there’s a new moderator. [https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/9abdd163-6ddc-4433-81f8-3b28c250f37f.jpeg] All posts and comments talking about China, Jinping, Russia, and Pu...
Jesus, that thread
Their “anti-Orientalism” (read as pro-tankie) policy has been known for a good while.
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.
Pro-tankie is when I'm not allowed to imply that Westerners are good-hearted and rational, but everyone else is a bunch of animals who need us to teach them how to be human
Lmao one of the top comments
(it takes 2 braincells to realize the CCP is 1984 incarnate).
Fuck these tankies man. I’m as leftist as they come and I HATE what these people are doing to the cause.
They did it, they did the meme unironically!
Imagine telling on yourself like this
1949oh 1 brain cell is enough for that
This is where I learned the word tankies. It sounds like British slang honestly.
thats my favorite part too!
not wrong lol
"i'm as leftist as they come" means "i am very slightly to the left of the democrats/tories/cdu"
It generally means that they literally just want free shit without putting in any work. Actual Socialists want fair value for their labour.
Pro-market laissez faire capitalist anti-unionist (they just take your money) but I like weed and I don’t hate gay people
I’m far left.
Legal weed and free college, but none of that annoying woke stuff and nothing that threatens the treat flow for affluent tech workers.
i want free shit without putting in any work
"i'm as leftist as they come"
I saw a post say that unironically, then someone replied with:
OP of that thread got temp-banned, from a single community, for being a dork asshole, and is now on a tear. I hope dot ML turns it into a perma instance ban.
Shoutout to @dessalines@lemmy.ml for being based as always, even if he does allow filthy libs on his site.
Check out Dessalines' Marxism Study Plan
Edit: oh this post is about a different mod, but as an instance admin myself I was scrolling the modlog yesterday and saw Dessalines had removed some of those same articles themselves, putting "no sources" as the reason. I figured there'd be a post about it soon lmao.
Holy fuck, this person is evil. Implying the communists
CW
used Gas chambers to kill Jews.
Lmao they cited ziq from raddle.
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.
They always seem to end up succumbing to patriarchal cults, where Lenin-Hitler-Mao-Trump gets to do whatever he wants to your sons and your daughters, and you and your working class have no recourse.
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
- a spectre is living rent free in lemmy
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)
Dessalines is an evil tankie???
Wait so you didnt even ban them? Lol they just single you out because you had marxist in your name
Yeah I just banned a spam bot and another guy spamming random shit with alts. Dessalines told me to be chill with bans.
taking out the trashWe love our mods
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.

Just call them all libs for me because they don't let us scawy hexbeaws post there anymore
Lol dorks. Get fucked libs
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.

I want to argue with these Reddit dorks but I guess that user was banned from lemmy.ml cause I can't see the post.
Lemmy.world users daring to post FUD on this instance and talk about what Lemmy is "becoming" with their 4 month old accounts can eat shit.
If anything, Lemmy as a platform became more Reddit like with the introduction of .world
insight from lemmy.world as always
