they can smell russia/china criticism and they come like rabid dogs.

Nah legit, the anti-tankie brigade puts out their delusion before the tankies even show… every time

Muting those instances made Lemmy a lot more pleasant. Highly recommended

And thus, debate is dead, and your cozy bubble is formed. I get banning troll users, but banning a whole instance is a step towards killing what the federation is supposed to stand for.

There’s a difference between debating and toxic fascism

These people want no debates or opinions they dont agree with… They cant stand it.

Can’t debate a bot.

That’s no debate with insincerity, only a platform for lies.

Those extremists are not here to debate. They are here to push propaganda. Why would you want to engage with someone who isn’t arguing in good faith?
bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 2 months ago
Those “extremists”, including me, only push back when a fascist comes out and brings up how evil China is in a thread about the US bombing Iran. The only people pushing propaganda are these fascists trying to excuse the criminal actions of the US and Israel.

I get what you’re saying, but there is no objective defence for what is Russia doing in Europe. Anyone who sides with Russia or defends Russia either has personal interests in it, or the person is so easily brainwashed they’re more dangerous than LLMs

Nope, it’s the best decision I made. I don’t want to debate extremists that start insulting me as soon as a I don’t agree with all of their takes.
And btw at least with my client/instance, banning an instance doesn’t ban the users, so you can still interact with them on other instances.

the only other .ml that isnt politicals just engage in tech content like they are supposed to. somehow tankies co-opted .ml as a political haven, might have something to do with a tankie developer though.
