Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works is recommended.

Just browse the All feed and subscribe to the stuff you like. At this point many instances block .ml and hexbear, so you'll be fine.
It's grad and hex that most instances defed from, .ml is more subtle and hosts a number of official Lemmy software support forums, so not many do defed from them. Unfortunately.
Its so unfortunate how most linux distro instances are hosted on .ml
May I ask what those instances are? I’m assuming .ml is Marxist Leninism (mask off) but idk what hexbear is. Are there any instances which are specific to my interests such as anime and music?
Update: it seems that hexbear.net is back to hosting hexbear.net.
The problem is definition of NSFW is different for all Lemmy user. One time I posted a Official Art of !nokotan@ani.social and it got reported for not labelling NSFW. That pic doesn't even have any thing like Fanservice or Showing Clothes. Just normal School Uniform.
"If the 65 year old HR worker would take a second glance, it's Not Safe For Work."
So a gay couple kissing is NSFW and a straight one is fine? That’s what a 65 yo HR worker would say in my experience.
But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.
NSFW stands for "not safe for work" - the label literally exists so that users know what to avoid to make the service usable at work without risk of getting fired over it.
And why wouldn't you want to use it at work? Breaks are a thing, many people try to spend them trying to recharge by doing something that takes them out of the work mindset for a bit, and Lemmy is perfect for that.
Yes. It's not really exclusively about work, though. It applies to families, public transit, anywhere someone might see your screen. It's not a nudity or gore tag, but a sort of inoffensively presentable content tag. The office screen mentality is just a good way to get the right idea across.
Also, "better safe than sorry" is a good mentality. It's better to over tag than under.
The core of it is avoiding drama at work, but yea it can be useful in other situations too. Suggestions to add a not-safe-for-life tag have been around since basically the day after NSFW become a thing cuz people do want some nuance.
Like, I can fire up a video of russian invaders getting blown to bits in Ukraine while sitting in the breakroom and while it might not be the most tasteful content, it's not going to get me fired; but most of those are tagged NSFW anyway just as a general content warning.
Gotta make due with the tools we've got. I'd definitely be in favor of adding a NSFL option to cover the gore - I don't want surprise titties on my screen in the middle of the breakroom, but if Karen finds something on my screen distasteful that isn't forbidden by actual policy, then she can go ahead and look away.
You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That's technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.
I am on lemm.ee which allow user over 16. So, I am safe I guess? It doesn't even matter I am gonna Turn 18 this July.
This particular thread is hosted on lemmy.world and you must be 18+ to access it.
So, What .world gonna ban me? They don't have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can't make me stop using Lemmy. It's already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.
Hexbear was worse, very pro China/Russia/North Korea, but I think they didn't renew their domain license, so the server went down. Lemmygrad is the same way, I think it's still active. .ml I didn't think is too bad, just block yogthos or whether their name is.
hexbear.net is still the domain, it's actually really chill unless you're freelancing for USAID
Not when I tried to talk when them a year ago. So much shilling for authoritarianism.
any support I've seen has been critical, lib instances often straight up uncritically support US empire and call that anti-authoritarianism
We're not taking about the US, we're talking about China Russia and North Korea. When I asked why Russia was justified in invading Ukraine, I got dozens of people arguing with me that it was good actually. If you agree with them, then I don't really have much more to talk with you about, you're just wrong.
From checking the modlog you got banned like two years ago because you couldn't stop saying slurs and insulting people. Additionally you clearly support the israeli occupation under the banner of being 'anti-authoritarian', the sentiment is mutual.
I think they consider tankie a slur, so that's probably it. I didn't see the mod logs, so thanks for looking it up.
It was you calling people crazy as an insult, which is ableism that they ban for.
That's crazy man.
☑ genocide apologist
☑ insults other peoples intelligence as an argument
☑ passive aggressive misgendering
least bigoted lemmy user complaining about tankies lmao
You not familiar with the phrase? The gender neutral 'man', analogous to dude?
And why genocide apologist when I specify said it was wrong and I'm against it? I don't think you're making a good argument.
you're against genocide until the people being genocided fight back, then you concern troll about 'terrorism' like the people dropping US bombs aren't terrorists.
you certainly weren't one of the ones calling for an end to aid for Israel, you call them 'tankies'
No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies, not people demonstrating against US Israel aid. I don't know how you got that opinion.
I'm sure you call everyone you don't like tankies lmao
No, I call people in favor of 'communism' flavored authoritarianism tankies.
I don't support Israel in Gaza, what gave you that impression? Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?
it was this comment of yours:
Anyway, do you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine was justified?
I'm opposed to all inter-capitalist wars tyvm.
Good, so we agree that Russia is in the wrong, and should not have invaded? Then we're not in agreement with the slice of hexbear I've interacted with.
being anti war is not an uncommon opinion, just shows how little you actually interact.
It isn't an uncommon opinion, but it seemed awfully hard to come by on hexbear, which was my whole point.
And you got from that that I support Israel in their genocide?!? Both sides can be terrible and have gross humanitarian and moral issues.
If you're both-sideing a genocide you have picked a side.
That isn't how logic works. What are you arguing? That every action of Hamas ever was entirely good and justified?
it's the duty of an occupied people to resist their occupation and genocide, that doesn't make them terrorists. the people delivering US weapon systems are the terrorists.
do you condemn the United States?
Yes I condemn the United States.
You think it's good for people to rape and kill civilians, that it's justified by the end of resisting occupation?
obviously I don't think it's good, but I'm not condemning them for resisting occupation.
I don't think any country is good, they all need to be dismantled, start at home.
I condemn things that aren't good even if they're working towards a good end. Why do think that shouldn't be condemned?
I’ve found it easier to block ML communities. A lot of the people on ML aren’t that bad, but you WILL get banned from the entirety of ML for any criticism of russia china and north korea. The mods really aren’t scared to abuse their power. I’d rather not participate.
Ive found that lemmygrad.ml is on average way worse than just lemmy.ml. Ive interacted with people from lemmy.ml and had positive interactions not the case for lemmygrad.
