Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi and rational, leftist discussion. (shitposts are fine, but please keep it sat-sunday. You won't get banned or removed though)

For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Not even the ones who's figurative dick they figuratively sucking want them. I wonder why they're not defederated form anywhere yet. (Same with Lemmygrad and to some extend Kbin)

Kbin doesn't have a tankie problem, though?

The guy running Kbin has a reasonable head on his shoulders. I've never seen any problematic folks there. Heck, Kbin is one of the places Beehaw still federates with.

They're defederated from @lemmy.world and the all feed there is so, so much better for it.

Wait, Kbin? Kbin is pretty normie. I should know, I generally stick to Kbin mags.

Yeah, Kbin is superb. No one plans to build a wall around us and our comrades!

@Dirk

I do kbin mostly and I can't say I've ever seen a single hexbear post or mag (and only a handful of their users) unless it was someone else telling me what hexbear is or complaining about them.

They haven't whitelisted kbin, so you won't see their posts (edit: unless they're made to non-hexbear communities). Only their comments on other instances, and a fair number have blocked them at this point.

Wait, if they're not federated, then their comments are still visible?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If I understand correctly, their posts and comments to communities on other instances will still remain visible to you until your instance specifically blocks them. Hexbear won't talk directly talk to kbin, but will talk to lemm.ee, and lemm.ee will tell kbin about posts and comments that hexbear users have made on lemm.ee's communities.
