Yea, I was banned for rule 2 for saying hexbear and lemmygrad ban you for disagreeing in reply to someone saying lemmy.world wants an ecochamber.

Also a comment got removed where I said that both hamas and Israel are bad for killing civilians. Apparently that violated rule 1 of no bigotry.

Some sussy stuff is going on in their mod team for sure.

They have a exceptionally weak worldview and can't handle open discussions, this isn't a surprise considering their entire instance is banned in China. They're emulating their favorite shithole.

[–] Astroturfed 9 points 10 months ago

That shit is what kills me. They dogpile on and repeat the same bullshit arguments when they venture outside. Quickly ban any level of discourse or debate about their ideas. Then call everyone else and eco chamber because they don't like it when your don't agree with them.

I just got a ban as well, they didn't like me saying I assume anyone bleating about communism online hasn't been through puberty yet.

Lemmy.ml deleted my comments that were correcting disinformation but left the intentional lie. No explanation or notice given. Happy to explain more if anyone is actually interested.

When I called them out the called me racist for saying "CCP" and deleted my comments. They also deleted other people's comments in the thread.

Lemmy.ml is hot fucking garbage.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So you made the same joke they make about libertarians and got banned? That's kind of amusing.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

They're a bit sensitive.

Honestly can we stop using their instance for memes? Why are we coalescing in a place where you can't criticize the place itself?

Not to be "that guy" but lemmygrad is not about national socialism. They are but jobs that will do Olympic level mental gymnastics routines to defend anything and everything Russia or China does, but that doesn't make then Nazis, "just" on the same moral level as Nazis.

[–] Astroturfed 48 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're tankies. Pure and simple. Sick of people calling them socialists, they aren't even communists. They're delusional anti-western China/Russia good, tankies.

Thank you for your service.

They're don't believe in socialism, they believe in authoritarianism. Therefore, they will defend any ancillary ethos.

The mods on lemmy.ml are a bunch of sensitive bitches. I once made a meme criticizing the lack of concrete rules... It got deleted

To be honest we don't have a real name for them. They say they support the tenets of national socialism, deride capitalism, engage in liberalism, and hate the working class.

Call them what you will. Nazi, neo-nazi, neo-neo-nazi, neo-bolshevik, I don't know. In any case it's all different flavours of fascism.

[–] Sheeple 46 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

"Tankies" that's the word for Nazis with a Russian coat of paint.

Edit: Lmao the downvotes. I just gave an objective description of the term OP is looking for. I'm a hardcore socialist myself and if you feel like the term "Tankie" is insulting you, then MAYBE you have an issue.

[–] LemmysMum 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I hesitate to call them tankies because they don't follow the same ideals. These people deride 'the libs' but engage in liberalism, calling themselves lgbtq friendly, then they call themselves communist but engage in materialism, they call themselves socialist but agree with authoritarianism.

I don't know what to call them besides fascist, but fascist is so non-specific when dealing with these groups that it doesn't help for identification. We actually need a new name for this group of fascists.

[–] Tedrow 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Tankies don't have ideals, they're just red fascists. It's all an aesthetic.

[–] LemmysMum 15 points 10 months ago

Fascists gonna fasc.

Tankie originally meant people who supported the Soviet Union's military action in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in the 50s and 60s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They're CCP or maybe Kremlin operatives organizing shills, LLMs, and useful idiots to spread propaganda.

That's why it's hard to say what they are. They aren't actually socialists, they're happy to support both extremes in order to increase division in their group opponents.

Sure they disallow nazis, but they do exactly what nazis tend to do; alienate, dehumanize and propagandize.

I filter that whole server. It's a ridiculous amount of propaganda.

Users need the power to block servers.

I have the time. I mean, it's gotta be a pretty short conversation because there are no benefits.
