After the tragedy, hexbears swarmed posts on lemmy.ml with vicious antisemitism and calls for violence.
Now that evidence has debunked Hamas propaganda they've gone into hiding in their echo chamber to cope and seethe. It's crickets from them in the wider fediverse while their own megathread is popping off.
Some super hot takes in there, you've been warned.
Like Nazis, tankies also loathe Jews but they hate them for their creation of strong, self reliant communities. But not surprising they are too wrapped up to realize that Islam also similarly does this but they tend to protect their theology with suicide.
And these are the people developing Lemmy. Are we really okay with that?
That's the beauty of FOSS, we aren't generating revenue for them. If they implement something we don't like, we can change it. There is not anything inherintely wrong with using code written by someone we don't agree with.

Wise idea, think I may switch over at some point
Hey if they pay for the servers I don't care. Load up their comment chains with high quality images, maybe the bandwidth will cost them a bit.
Don't know that initially thinking that the incident was Israel is 'Hamas propaganda', but the absolute certainty of tankies that their chosen side is incapable of making shitty munitions is... astounding.
The key to covering drama is to blow everything completely out of proportion.
But on the other hand, if your immediate reaction to hearing "...according to Hamas" is "death to Israel" then you're huffing propaganda.
Were up to "nearly a thousand" now?
Tankies reject reality and substitute their own
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"

What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
