Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it's tankies all the way down, and it's just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow, well, until the nazis and tankies are gone, that shit just ain't gonna happen.

Y'all have fun.

Except the nazis/tankies.

Y'all go play in traffic.

Sounds like you want to either create an account on Lemmy.world where all the tankie and fash instances are already blocked or wait a few weeks/months for the user specific domain blocking update to go through.

I don't see many tankies, maybe its the communities you're subscribed to?

[–] SmashingSquid@notyour.rodeo 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same here, I have 3 instances blocked and don’t really see tankie crap. Just tons of spam.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Nice instance name!

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Theres still hundreds of options for you to try, including Kbin which is completely different from Lemmy.

You know there is other instances that is more focused on other stuff than what you're referring to right?

Lemmy.world for instance just defederated from Leningrad.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 5 points 2 years ago

From Leningrad? Impressive :-D

You're not a train, you don't have to announce your departure.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Waaa there aren't enough reactionaries, waa

Interesting take.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Good luck finding a safe space where everyone agrees only with you.

[–] spauldo@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Or make your own, like the tankie mod is doing.

I've never heard of "tankie" before...can I just google it?

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well.

From seeing your responses in this thread, your opinion is not what got you banned, your attitude is. You for sure should be banned even if you were talking that way while agreeing with the people that would be banning you.

If you don't want bad things to happen to you on social media, don't post while angry.

[–] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 3 points 2 years ago

Tbf, most of the fediverse isn't lemmy.

Man, I did not realize how much I missed this kind of dumb high school drama type of social media post until I saw this one.

Oh no Brian, please don't go... the Fediverse needs you! 😂

Thanks for the soap opera fix!

Do you see "tankies" in the room with you right now?

Yes, they are behind you doing bunny ears behind your head.

No matter what, “tankie” will always sound so goddamn stupid. I’ll never get over learning that was even a thing until getting on this platform.

If you really want to entertain us take a selfie and post it.

Great idea, terrible execution.

That sounds kind of like communism. lol
