Hah whatever dude, you're doing more harm than good flying off the handle like that. It just gives them something to point to when they bring up their "we're just being bullied :'(" arguments

You can say fuck on the internet.

Yes, but you're not being judged just because you used it but how

You absolutely should call Tankie scum at every opportunity.

No, you shouldn't, "Tankie" by itself targets their ideology and their actions (Pushing misinfo, propaganda etc) by adding "scum" into it or other slurs you shift that target from ideologies and behavior to the actual person. Not cool. For the most part, they're just people being used as tools by the real evil people pulling the strings.

Tankies don't use logic, trying to reason with those intolerants is just turtles all the way down.

That's fine, remember, your arguments are public so aren't just about convincing a tankie, but any potential observers as well

Anybody who wants to foster healthy community on Lemmy should promote open hostility towards Tankies

No. Absolutely not. They can have their community, we should be promoting defederation, boycotting and general awareness.

You know I'm pretty anti-tankie around here, and even I'm saying, chill out open hostility does nothing but anger everyone.

YDI. The other comments probably just got swept up in it, it happens, but that first that triggered mod action is def over the line

There's no need to get angry like that, or at least type it out, fight the tankies with logic, reasoning and evidence not a bunch of expletives and slurs

It's all fun and games till the hot water heater runs out lolol
