Comment on The Karen of Lemmy
SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 11 months agoTankies are pretty annoying, but what’s much more annoying to me now is people whinging on about tankies that aren’t even there. The amount of comments to the effect of “just wait for the tankies to read this and do (X)” vastly out numbers the number of comments I see from actual tankies. More often than not, those tankies fail to ever materialize.
Well yeah often the true tankieposting OFF ml hex or grad gets removed by mods
And often they DM you a mountain of shit from like 5 accounts, or invoke you in their local “dunktank” threads.
If people don’t have them blocked out, it can be pretty annoying.
“that aren’t even the”
Because mods are doing their job or they’re not federated with the communities you instances in…
At least on Lemmy.world, it’s now visible when comments are removed. It’s not uncommon that I see multiple comments complaining about what the tankies are going to do and few to no removed comments. Given Lemmy.world is also the instance whose members I see gripe about tankies the most, I currently believe it’s just people using an out group to achieve some sort of personal goal, even if it’s just as simple as wanting to comment but not really having a lot to say.

Are you aware that lemmy.world has defederated from lemmygrad and hexbear which means you won’t see any comments from them even if they’re all over the thread?

Indeed, this isn’t my only account, nor if it even my primary.
