  I meant Lemmygrad, but the admin came to the thread and said “fuck you, I want to boost my numbers up, the tankies are staying” so it doesn’t actually matter. 🤷

  Yeah, I am pretty sure the All feed is intended to show content from a variety of instances, not to be dominated by a few shitty ones.

  Probably best to not try to scrape the bottom of the barrel when defending authoritarians pushing lies and propaganda. Like, if you’re going to go for a red hereing, you could at least tone police me; that would at least be more plausible and less petty. Step your game up

  🤦 Wasted my time and effort on a garbage instance again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly what they’ve been doing. Their Tianamen Square propaganda showed up on my All feed which is how I know about it to begin with. We’re all being inundated with their garbage and we did not come to this instance to be flooded with propaganda and garbage.

  I’m arguing with their shitty alt accounts here because they tried to mass downvote the thread and astroturf and gang up on me, because they don’t want efforts to defederate them to gain traction, but guess what? It didn’t work. Because they’re little bitches who thought they could scare me away, and it did not work, because I am an asshole. 😉

  You’re here blatantly fucking lying to our faces thinking you can discredit me and protect those hopeless retards, proving my point. Tankies don’t belong here. If you love them so damn much, go sign up for Lemmygrad.

  I actually haven’t really debated them and this isn’t the first time I’ve seen them invade an instance. I want them gone because they are spreading blatant propaganda and that should not be allowed on any instance worth its salt

  Point in fact, I came here to lemm.ee specifically because it was defederated from them, but now I see the past few days that they’ve been let on again and are now invading and inundating the All feed with their propaganda and garbage like they always do. And that shouldn’t be allowed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you foresee tankies poisoning the whole fediverse? D

  Because I’ve been watching what has been going on. Instances, big ones, that were previously hard-nosed about being defederated from them have mysteriously let them on their instances again, including this one. I signed up for this instance specifically BECAUSE it banned them, and then all of a sudden, for the past few days, my All feed is inundated with their crap.

  That is shady, sus, and wrong. A lot of people came here specifically to get away from tankies and their garbage, and now we’re expected to put up with it because the admins refuse to act and even let them back on? Explain to me how money, blackmail, intimidation, manipulation or abject retardation isn’t involved in that?

  Or how it won’t happen to other instances once those cretins get a foothold in a big enough percentage of the fediverse?

  It doesn’t even seem like they are trying to make a case, they are just bluntly stating misinformation. If we are going to remove all misinformation then we are going to need paid admins because even at the current scale its a full time job.

  The admin already accepts donations so he has no excuse.

  I see blatant misinformation everywhere on the fediverse already and only a tiny percentage is tankie related.

  You can thank the alt-right dipshits at .world for that, and that’s why I speak out now: unless admins’ feet are held to the fire and they’re held accountable for not protecting their users, it’ll keep getting worse. The admins made an instance they want us to use abd accept donations to keep it running. Therefore they have a responsibility toward us they’re not meeting, and it results in dangerous shit like propaganda claiming the Tianamen Square massacre did not happen to run freely when it should not. That is crazy and you know it

  bad economic policies

  Who cares about China anyway?

  Yea the person claiming Biden has bad economic policies wants to ignore the second largest economy in the world… 😂

  Well lookie motherfucking loo here boys, the proof is in the pudding.

  You all are really butthurt that no one else wants you around that you gang up on anyone who complains, resorting to cheap personal attacks and tone policing, thinking you’re going to pretend to be an onlooker when in reality you’re just some dipshit tankie acting in bad faith hoping to astroturf.

  THIS is why you scumbags don’t belong here. THIS is why the admins need to take responsibility and defederate from your asses, so we can have meaningful conversations in good faith without them being inundated by your ilk so you can feel like you’re in control of something.

  Tankies DO NOT belong here and they need to be defederated from this instance before they do worse.

  I am asking the admins to defederate from them but good job not even reading the thread and showing your priorities are all out of whack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Tankies claiming the Tianamen Square massacre didn’t happen are pretty toxic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I shouldn’t have to as that costs money. It’s the admin’s job to fix his sub, not mine.

  If he’s a tankie or a supporter of them, he has a responsibility to us to be honest about that fact instead of allowing them to run roughshod and inundate the instance with propaganda. He KNOWS they don’t belong here but he’s ignoring the problem. That means he either is one of them, supports them or is being taken in by them. And that’s a serious problem that will affect the whole federation, not just this one instance.

  If tankies get away with doing that here, they’ll do it to other admins, and poison the whole federation. It’ll be impossible for new instances to flourish without kowtowing to them, and so it has to be stopped here and now with the bigger instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And here’s a .worlder all butthurt because he remembers the time I called out his shitty instance on doing the exact same thing, and as history repeats himself, he feels embarrassed

  Do you feel like you should have to go through the gargantuan effort of blocking every single tankie sub on every single server you go to? Or do you think you can garner the stones to get at least one admin somewhere to do his damn job?

  Is that asking too much? Or would you rather hide behind me to justify defending scumbags literally spreading propaganda claiming the Tianamen Square massacre didn’t happen because you don’t like me and want to play tone police to express it?

  Because if me being angry about this is more of a serious problem to you than that, then there’s a good reason why we label .worlders as alt-right dipshits and don’t listen to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Apparently yes, because you’re here defending them in a meta thread for my instance written specifically to address this issue, an instance you’re not even a part of, so what reasonable conclusion can we make except you’re here to defend them and keep them around when you know instance natives do not want them?

  See, this shit is why the tankies need to leave. They’re astroturfing and getting their buddies/alt accounts to stick up for them and this is like the third that has cropped up in the thread so far. How can meaningful engagement happen if they are going to be allowed to just gang up on anyone who complains or disagrees with them? That’s not a fun instance and the admins of lemm.ee have no business allowing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, sounds like you need to go sign up for a tankie instance and leave the rest of us decent people alone instead of invading every space and expecting others to be okay with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is how we know you’re here in bad faith. Go sign up for Lemmygrad if you love them so damn much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough, just stay away from them. They’re peddling blatant propaganda and such here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no, there is, because it’s their responsibility as admins and third party apps are not an excuse for then to shirk their responsibility toward their users.

  Needing a third party app for that kind of basic functionality defeats the point of Lemmy anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What about the Lemmygrad retards trying to claim Tianamen Square didn’t happen? How the hell is that reasonable or okay?

  Go meditate and ask yourself that question honestly, with no desire to defend your worldview, and you’ll have your answer.

  Because this isn’t rhetorically effecive, it’s just one dude whose tactics in a very big-picture way are actually very dangerous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Antifa’s objective isn’t to dismantle the KKK, it’s to fight fascists, so you’re very blatantly using fallacious reasoning and putting an irrelevant group of people on your sacrificial altar to make yourself feel better about something.

  Superman actually did more to stop the KKK than this clown and Superman is not even real. And Superman punches bad guys. So you fail again.

  Implying you are going to manipulate or guilt trip me by playing victim when you are told you are wrong. You are not. Literally everyone who is different than you is your victim, and you are the one who will have to live with blood on your hands. But knowing you, you love the taste of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, if you wanted to take over left spaces and deny them the ability to have a community of their own so you can more easily kill them off, you should have said so

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So in other words, it’s been taken over by right-wingers. 🤦 Wasted my time again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The upside to that is that humans could and probably would just sneak nukes onboard their ships and set them off on the inside if they did try to invade, a tactic for which they’d have no real defense.

  Any civilization that had those things, even rudimentary Trinity Test ones, are on a whole different playing field than any that came before by virtue of the nature of nukes, so it is reasonable that aliens would investigate nuclear powers first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reported UFO sightings. Aliens are very interested in the USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not judging you and when I was a kid, I too saw some shit. Many people have, it’s very common. What’s up for debate is whether it’s aliens or not, is all.
