Block these instances: lemmy.ml lemmygrad.ml hexbear.net
There is no point arguing with tankies. They are dumb and they won't change. I just hope there will be a way to completely block those users including their comments. They are polluting the fediverse.
I just hope there will be a way to completely block [...] users including their comments.
Remember who the developers are.
Yeah. I hope kbin will grow and have a decent mobile app, then I can finally move over.
The instance I posted in was Lemmy.ml
LOL! There ya go.
Yep.
Fastest way to get banned there is to give valid criticism of China or Russia.
One of the Tankiest of tankie instances
Why do tankies stan for Russia? Nostalgia?
Because no likey da Americans
These morons think Iran is a bastion of anti-colonial resistance
Iran
The theocracy
The successor state to one of the longest running imperial projects in human history
The state currently organizing proxies to destabilize it's neighbors with the intention of letting a puppet state take all of it for integration within it's sphere of influence
That Iran.
Tankies have no values and even fewer brain cells.
Tankies love fascist dictatorships. That's their whole shtick.
Yep, this.
They are convinced they are gonna be part of the ruling class, So they fucking love fascist authoritarian dictatorship.
The overwhelming irony is that they would most likely be the ones purged, not the ones ruling.
Lemmy.ml is a tankie instance that loves China and hates western countries. Unfortunately, it's also one of the biggest Lemmy instances because it's run by the main devs of Lemmy (who created Lemmy because they were frequently banned on other sites for bootlicking for China). Thankfully, Lemmy is open source and the nature of how it runs allows everyone to ignore the weird ideologies of the devs.
It's one of the only 3 instances I block. All tankies bullshit.
what are the other two?
I thought I was only blocking two but it seems I am blocking four
hexbear.net lemmy.ml alien.top lemmygrad.ml
Hey fellow non-China Chinese. Just block lemmy.ml, lemmy grad.ml and hexbear for a much better lemmy experience.
West Taiwan big angry
Apparently I make the great yellow peril.
It was [email protected] ... so yeah, almost anyone that say anything against China. It's a tankie instance.
Use [email protected] instead.
For those of you asking/ curious, the reason given was 'yellow peril'. Really? I guess my being asian and directly affected by the Chinese activities in the scs makes me somehow a threat to yellow people?
Same. I literally have family in China and therefore a real stake in Chinese society. Meanwhile a bunch of western tankies who have never been to China and don't speak the language hand down bans merely for me relaying conversations I've actually had with real Chinese people in their native language about Chinese history and politics.
It's simple racism to infantilise all Chinese people like this, believing they need a bunch of white saviors on the Internet to speak for them and guard their cultural chastity.
thanks for the heads up. I just unjoined all lemmy.ml communities, and blocked the instance. That sort of censorship is not a good thing.
Some of them came here from Reddit when chapo trap house got banned. Others are straight up BRICS propaganda accounts.
The .ml stands for Marxist /Leninist.
Funny, communists always insist China isn't communist at all, so why would they care about it being criticized?
Tankies aren't that type of communist, that is, sane. Tankies are auth rights disguised as leftists.
just block the lemmy.ml instance and if you start to feel annoyed by the hexbear, block that one too. You will not notice any loss
That's because the instance was ml. I regularly criticize them in world for their absurd actions.
I ran into something similar a couple days ago:
I wrote a comment critical of Chinas actions in Africa, which was silently deleted after it got traction. When I looked at the mod log, my comment was not listed. Checked back on my comment, checked the mod log from another machine. Nothing.
Just silently and covertly removed without any trace of who and why. Has me really suspicious
That tracks. China's (imperialist) abuse of Africa isn't the message they want out there. They frame it as win-win collaboration
Got banned after calling out russian propaganda for being just that. Literally happened on my first or second day on lemmy.
