Mine happened when i first made a reddit account, i got banned from a subreddit with a tankie moderator because i questioned the logic of having lenin as the subreddits profile, for a subreddit devoted to anti conservative memes.

Did you have the misfortune of joining lemmygrad or lemmy.ml?

Nope. Lemmy.world. but I meandered over to take a look out of curiosity. People are fascinating. I'm interested in how they think and how they have come to their conclusions, the nitty gritty stuff really peaks my interest, but I'd still like to think I'd call bullshit when I see it (:

So you willingly dove head first into the tankie hellhole? wow, must take some special curage.

[–] MiddleWeigh 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea I was sort of curious. I like to at least know what these people are thinking if I'm gonna talk shit. And talk shit I will. (:

Thats a good idea, if you find anything extra incriminating be sure to post a screenshot here, this community is for that, though i recommend you censor usernames to protect their privacy.
