Looks like a decision was made for you. You’re missing out on some prime Ukraine memes but that’s about it.

fair enough lol.

Credible Defense was a page where people could talk about the militaries of different countries, noncredible was the circle jerk/shitpost/meme page offshoot they made for it, which ended up becoming a bigger deal than the original page.
But yeah, you’re missing out on some great Ukrainian memes, but also a lot of unironic stanning for weapons manufacturers and intelligence agencies, so it’s a real mixed bag. Like, they’re super pro-queer but I kinda think that’s only because Putin is a homophobic transphobic piece of shit and if the situation were reversed I’m not sure how they’d be.

Also missing out on some hot anime plane girls, I mean if you into that sort of thing…
Zehzin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s just a community that likes to crank it to tanjs and jets, they’re good people.
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
fucking awesome
GardenVarietyAnxiety@lemmy.world 8 months ago
NCD is Starship Troopers as a lemmy community. It’s pretty overt, imo, lol
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
that’s such an excellent description, i wish i had known that a day ago 🙃
Landless2029@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Would you like to know more?
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve always felt a little out of the loop about that community too. My best guess is maybe it’s just for people who want to make memes about tanks and stuff, while staying detached from the actual politics of whatever situation they’re meme’ing about.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It’s difficult to explain really, you either get it or you don’t, but it’s about defense themed shitposting and nutty ideas for weapons and defense strategies.
The community, and the subreddit it branched off from, is very pro Ukraine, pro NATO though.
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
i think you are right ! i just wish the sidebar had said that more directly so i didn’t have to get banned to find out 😭
dumbass@lemy.lol 8 months ago
It’s kind of a shitposting community for people who are interested in history and war, they’re a alright group of people tho (there are way worse communities on here) and most they’re stuff makes me laugh.
They’re just history needs having fun.
vox@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
it’s not really detached from politics, but it’s definitely a less serious. think of it as war shitposting community

Fades@lemmy.world 8 months ago
you say its not for you, so who cares? go live your life, you don’t need write access to every community ever, especially ones you have no interest in.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 months ago
OP asks weird leading questions all over the place then gets confused when people don’t want to hang out with them
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
that was my fuckup is i kind of do/did care 😭 i just wanted to kind of stick my toe in the water? to make sure they weren’t actually doing genuine hate content
and then by me asking and getting that clarification i did it in such a poor fashion that i got booted. 100% on me, though a shame.
jeffw@lemmy.world 8 months ago
95% of people who bitch about mods on Lemmy did something stupid or transphobic. Idk if you’re the 5% or not
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
i’m stupid all the time but trying to get better hence this post lol
please don’t accuse me of transphobia 👎 gross and mean. check the modlogs and my post history and make an informed accusation please
jeffw@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I didn’t accuse you of anything? I made a blanket statement about people who bitch about mods on here
quindraco@lemm.ee 8 months ago
This is Lemmy, we don’t do “informed”. Count yourself lucky if anyone in the comments even read the thread’s post.
tomi000@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is this comment a joke? I cant keep up. There was zero accusation in the comment. It was an objective observation without implications. You like to play the victim role dont you?
A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 8 months ago
According to the modlog he got banned for saying it seems like the sub is a safe space for thinly veiled bigoted takes.
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Nah, I got banned from that sub for the spicy take of “nuclear war is bad”, and I got banned from Political Memes for the misinformation of “MLK did not support exclusively working within the system, and asking nicely did not win civil rights”, with citations and everything.
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think some communities are just based around circlejerking, but ironically, in a way that is self perpetuating and self consuming. Like an ouroboros made of shit.

AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
It’s one of those jokes that’s only a joke if it starts trouble, however in other circumstances they are stone cold sober Blood and Soil off brand knockoff Nazis
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Using the Russian definition of Nazi, which is anyone who dares to resist Russian occupation, I presume?
AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Brother the shit they say over there is fucking vile
PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 months ago
From the “memes” I’ve seen there, it’s just a bunch of bootlicking gun nuts and military fanbois. They’re the actual, literal tankies.
Lojcs@lemm.ee 8 months ago
They’re very much not tankies
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
fuck me i figured it out lmao. it took me a second but your comment in combo with what the mod said made it click.
- lemmy is very anti tankie (rightfully so)
- NCD has aesthetics that make it look similar to tankie stuff despite not being such.
- they probably have a history of getting backlash; for this reason they are sensitive to criticisms of being tankies or other hate groups (hence all the seemingly weird rules about no genuine posting/dont try to get us banned)
- and them i come in like a dumbass comparing them to a well-known group of real bigots. trying to be edgy and matching their tone, i unknowingly did the only thing that could make them angry.
- boom, banned.
sigh, my bad yall. thanks for coming into this shitpost to help me understand. feel free to let me know if i’m missing any pieces but this is making a lot of sense. if i had this context earlier i would have acted differently, hoping maybe this context can help others out 😭
kbin_space_program@kbin.run 8 months ago
If they had a patron saint it would be the youtuber Lazerpig, and maybe Perun.
PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 months ago
From my experience, “tanky” just means socialist/communist, which is an obviously idiotic, reductivist generalization. Based on actual reality, I don’t know a group of people it makes more sense to call tankies than the NCD crowd.
flamingos@ukfli.uk 8 months ago
NCD leans neocon if anything.
HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 8 months ago
Tankies are “The Soviet Union did nothing wrong in Czechoslovakia in 1968” kinds of people, who are the opposite of NCD.
PapaStevesy@midwest.social 8 months ago
Every time I open an NCD meme, it has a gun or a tank or a military drone or some other implement of murder and destruction. I’ve never seen one of these supposed genocide-defending “communists” in 20+ plus years on the Internet, so I repurposed the term to make more sense.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 8 months ago

db2@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If you didn’t want to stay why do you care? It’s like getting preemptively banned from a furry group, they’re doing you a favor. 🤣
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
i guess i would say i was more in the “discovering” phase. sort of seeing if i was interested but wanting to see what others thought to inform me. i got a total of one response tho and that was it :/
also i would feel bad if i got preemptively banned from a furry group? :( like what did i do to hurt them they are probably cool people !
db2@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think you missed my point a little. If they want to ban me like that it’s probably best.
alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Why are you coming at furries?
In my experience, hatred of furries is just a proxy for queerphobia.
db2@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re really grasping at a reason to feel persecuted here. It’s just not an interest if mine.
I’m going to go ahead and block you now though. Have a nice day.
idiomaddict@feddit.de 8 months ago
I’m not a furry, though I accept peoples right to be furries and think it’s a generally harmless interest that gets way more hate than it deserves.
I think furries just got nickelbacked. Is nickelback worse than, say, incubus or sum 41? Not objectively, but if I make a joke about a sum 41 community blocking someone, it’s confusing. Furries (and nickelback) are used as foils by people for “unpleasant media.”
That’s not fair to people who enjoy the medium nor is it fair to the talented and hardworking artists who create it, but it’s a cultural meme that’s going to be hard to stop.
umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
it appears to be a bunch of coping chuds
Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I think for a lot of us we got too close to the Military Industrial Complex and it’s become a laugh not to cry situation. Real life examples of absurdity like the infamous PT Belt don’t help either. But don’t let the sub fool you, a bunch of NCD posters are capable of long winded academic posts on CD. Not me though. I don’t do long winded… No sir. I’m all about the brevity.

Glad you posted this, OP was not being completely truthful about his message content.
spujb@lemmy.cafe 8 months ago
that’s me! :)
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I don’t have a horse in this race, but I bet the “I’m curious about this community” question would have been received better without the insinuation that they’re bigots and publicly letting them know that you’re going to block them.
That’s my read on the modlog, at least.
