I love how they are they are hating piefed's growth.
sh.itjust.works needs to get a piefed instance.
It's honestly a lot more nicer than Lemmy, even if we ignore that Lemmy's developers are demagogues who support genocidal imperialism.
And it seems piefed.social is under a DDoS attack, I wonder who is responsible...
“The Free Open Source Software that has no for-profit funding or monetization mechanisms is clearly a pro-capitalist haven.”
Tankie talking about Piefed
Such projection.
If you're a tankie visiting this community, come and post! You won't be banned
Are you sure about that? I do hope you ban people equating the holocaust and the Uyghur genocide (or the holodomor, or the disenfranchisement of other non-Han chinese peoples and cultures, or ...) to a piece of bird shit.
Honestly, they get downvoted and mocked into oblivion, while simultaneously demonstrating the purpose of this community. Why ban them?
Why ban them?
Because lies spread by their repetition, not their quality. Same as advertisements.
If tankie fuckwits were out in every comment section here playing their greatest hits, it would create an environment of hostility towards NON-genocidal users as well as normalizing their rhetoric being expressed in decent places.
As I understand it, Goat only bans for explicit misinformation and the like.
I only ban if they're legitimately trolling, spamming silly images, and pinging random people, then pretending they never pinged them.
Tankies know they can come into this community and do as you described, but they don't, since they know they're wrong and will be proven wrong. They can't risk their usual talking points being countered without a tankie mod banning the person countering.
In other communities, I'd agree. In a community dedicated to exposing their lies? I think I see it as a "give them enough rope to hang themselves" situation.
Though I absolutely take your point.
Yeah I rarely ban users, you can check out modlog if you're unsure.
I don't ban tankies who rarely wander into here because if I do, their claims of this being an echo-chamber become true.
I didn't mean to say that you ban people excessively. Anyway, your reasoning seems fair :)
"The DPRK"
They really just can't help themselves.
It's so bizarre. They're so deep in the campist nonsense they can't admit there are bad examples of communism.
Lol. They're scared.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
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 it 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.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
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 last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
