OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about "tankie" censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn't adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we've debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It's really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who've been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.
I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I've seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I'm so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.
Yeah, it's like they left reddit because it wasn't reddit enough for them. No idea how anyone can tolerate putting up with them, though those that do, do great work, I've seen a lot more lemmy accounts actually learning stuff thanks to them.

copy/pasted from above:
i was a reddit refugee and now they’ve made me a lemmy.ml refugee; why can’t they just go back to digg or myspace or something?!

Thanks comrade. It’s honestly more depressing than rage inducing to me nowadays, to see so many people that deep in propaganda.
they linked the wikipedia article for Tankie lmao what a closing argument
It's a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven't read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.
Deeply unserious people.
tell them to make a hexbear account and try to prove their point here
If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.
That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it's .world so I doubt it lol
If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.
I don't think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.
Wtf was their point anyway? "You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!" posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery
Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it's FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.
Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.
I miss when the slur filter was hard coded so we’d get periodic
posts about how the authoritarian tankies are ruining 
When this site launched our slur filter even did substitutions. It would replace things like "Israel" with "Occupied Palestine" and "North Korea" with "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." We figured out that had to go as soon as somebody tried posting "Death to Israel."
I swear this gets posted on like a monthly basis by some brave patriot

They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.
With no hint of irony
It's always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful
They can't imagine a sexual relationship without a power imbalance, and they project this idea onto everything.
Of course dot world whips up a red scare over the dev team the day before we release the next version of Lemmy.
lemmy . world users reporting me to the House Un-American Activities Committee? must be a day that ends in Y!
thanks for the warning, im going to avoid this lemmy thing and those hex bears
Italian Grandma Bear probably makes excellent pasta. I would definitely associate with Nonabear.

A damn link to US Congress. Wow I posted a burgerland.gov link, my point has been proven; how will tankies ever recover from this?
But also, state media from the bad country is categorically deceptive.
well that just goes without saying! how could anyone possibly believe propaganda!?
The old boogymen of Hexbear and Grad are invisible, so .world will saber rattle from time to time. .ml believes in an interconnected fediverse, so they don't plan on defeding, and .world wants to maintain their image of being impartial.
I imagine eventually the contradiction will be resolved and some inciting incident will leave us with .world defeding and a multipolar Lemmy arising.
Honestly if the Lemmy creators are ML I don't understand why they don't just tell .world to fuck off. They're not constructive to have in the fediverse and all they do is lower the quality of the place while spreading red scare style disinfo.
I largely agree, if Hexbear and Lemmygrad can't serve that role or don't want to, it's good to have at least one major instance to expose libs to Marxism. Even if my experience would be better on Grad or Hexbear, I still like being able to try to lead libs to theory.
You're a hero. I've dealt with Reddit chuds for ages but once I found this place I completely abandoned the rest of the internet, I have enough brainworms to disinfect from people around me IRL. It takes some real dedication to keep patiently talking with those nerds.
Imma be real, I'm just a recovering debate pervert lol. Appreciate the kind words, comrade!
they sound like a better person than i.
i left reddit because i couldn't stomach the absurdity and now my stomach hurts from seeing yet another rally cry for defederation on lemmy.world and i find myself wishing that they would.
Pretty sure one of the lemmy devs did tell them to fuck off but it was the beehaw admins who were acting like they were customers and the devs own them updates
Thats why there was a push to get people to support sublinks because they think that building a fediverse forum from zero in java is easier than leaning rust and supporting the evil tankie devs
The old .world is dying, and the new .world struggles to be born: now is the time of ... huh there don't seem to be any monsterfucker lemmies, so I guess pawb.social.
pawb.social also full of anti-tankie
type people

There are far too many hyper-online radlib NATO-leftists in the furry community tbh :(
MORE
TANKIE 
FURRIES 
Fucking funny how they call us insufferable, when they're the smug debate perverts.
Unironically people online who's whole shtick is that they're a white guy furry in tech are 98% of the time the most insufferable people alive
it pains me to say this: but they're the largest lemmy instance in terms on active users.
Must be a quantity over quality thing then, because what little I have seen of them doesn't impress me
quantity is the right word; i suspect that post is on the top ten most popular in terms of votes and comments.
Not to stir the pot but wasn't this known? Besides "socialists" write better software than fascist any day of the week.
The liberals of lemmy have the collective memory of a toddler.
Literally why I moved from .world to .ml last year, I didn't want to be on one of the redditeur instances.
I've been here a while so I'm not even sure if there were other instances when I started.
A bunch of the redditors who came over because of the API change did so without prior knowledge
if they're so concerned about free speech they should let lemmygrad and hexbear back into their lists
