Basically, there was a discussion about how instances have rules and Feddit also needs to abide by local (Austrian) law to not get in legal trouble.

And I get called a Zionazi for saying that you cant just up and call for the massacre of civilians, regardless of which side you are on.

It's also ironic for Dessalines to mock me for sticking to rules and laws to protect our instance.

This is hilarious when you look at all the people this clown banned for breaking their laws- I mean… “Rule 1”.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 23 points 6 days ago

This is the most deranged thread I've ever chosen to scroll through on here.

You can be against two genocides. Being against one genocide doesn't make you for another. This is not a challenging moral conundrum. Anyone trying to paint this as "you either want to kill all Israeli's, or you want to kill all of Palestine" needs some kind of social-emotional-moral help and development, at the least.

People on Lemmy, and tankies in general, are extremely absorbed in campist rhetoric. It's very frustrating having to explain that not everything is so binary.

What are your thoughts?

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 6 points 6 days ago

I absolutely agree.

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.world 34 points 6 days ago

.ml admins are massive cowards. They don’t like their propaganda called out, or even remotely disagreed with. They want obedience from their users, and anyone that doesn’t fall in line gets banned regardless of having ever set foot in their little instance of mentally challenged clowns.

And seriously… there’s no good reason to support their little shit-hole of a walled garden by providing them with content that is better posted elsewhere.

They wrapped that gift for you. Be sure to thank them.

'WHY ARE PEOPLE LEAVING FOR PIEFED?!'

I found this recently. lol the irony

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 18 points 6 days ago

oh it's diva! Diva's funny

'I'm not a tankie, I'm an anarchist!'

'Here's an image where you call yourself a tankie.'

'MODS. BAN THEM PLS'

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.world 16 points 6 days ago

Oh they’re obnoxious.

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 16 points 6 days ago

It feels like a lot of .ml members are some millennials sitting in a trollfarm in St. Petersburg.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago

Nah, I doubt there's any agents here. Maybe some chatbots here, I've encountered some, but not state trolls.

They just have a lot of free-time on their hands and they're too deep in their extremist bubble to explore the real world a bit.

Holy shit, antiyanks. Can you stop making accounts trying to dump fuel in the fire?

[-] pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 days ago

did you also get banned from yepowertrippingbastard by a ye power tripping bastard?

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

They did, yeah. So did I and many others. Rather ironic

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 21 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I was banned for a month from memes@lemmy.ml even though I haven't written anything on .ml for months.

Edit: It's an instance ban on lemmy.ml which I don't interact with anyways.

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

At least Im not the only one with a fucked up sleep schedule xD

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah when you cant go to work because you broke a bone, then you got no rhythm anymore. Then it is less frustrating to argue with random people on the internet.

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Whoever is impersonating DraconicNEO, please stop. We shouldn't drop to that level. We are better than that. Also it is really scummy to let out transphobic comments.

[-] goat@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Sounds like antiyanks

Unjust laws should never be obeyed.

[-] Emopunker@feddit.org 23 points 6 days ago

It's not that simple though. Run an instance that is dedicated to German speakers and not a specific political standpoint. The laws we have to obey are hatespeech laws. The laws don't ban antizionism, they however ban glorification of murdering innocents of a certain ethnicity. Doesn't matter which ethnicity. Some people are just sore they can't voice antizionist critiques without losing themselves in a violent and hateful dream.

Should runs into the problem of what happens if you don't.

If you can get away with disobeying senseless laws, you should. But when you're a very easy target, like an established web server hosted in the country in question, you do have to play some risk-reward calculations in your head to decide if this is the hill you want to die on.

A particularly iconoclastic anarchist might legitimately argue that underage individuals should not be subjected to additional privacy laws when online, as a form of ageism, but they might want to sit down and take a long and hard look at whether that's really what they want their website to have a showdown with the state on, simply within the context of their own ideology.

Don't throw good resources away on losing battles. Be strategic.

[-] Draconic_NEO@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

Just want to clarify that the last thread the OP posted before being banned was them arguing with a lemmy.ml user that they aren't perpetrating censorship of anti-zionist content, while describing how they censor anti-zionist expression on Feddit.

Why does DraconicNEO ban people from their dead ass communities anyways? Why would I even want to go in a Kodi or Agender community that has been dead for over a year anyways? If you'd spend even half the time taking care of your own communities as you spend arguing with people, your communities wouldn't be the dead hollow husks they are now.

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?

Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.

(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/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously 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. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.

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.
