Had some fun with this. Rules:
- When a tankie post comes up, post a legitimate, fair argument. Do not argue in bad faith. No matter how nasty the post may be. Legitimately combat the disinformation there by going into their bubble and posting a sane response.
- Watch the responses come in. Especially if the post is on the tankie triad.
- Don't feed the trolls. Don't respond to anything, unless there is actually a legitimate attempt to have a legitimate discussion. Otherwise, start a game of tankie bingo to help prevent yourself from responding to the madness.
Suggestions for expansion welcome.
It's this perverse liberal fetish of believing everything they don't like is controlled by communists.
In this case it's the perverse belief that lemmy is being puppeteered by a secret cabal of communists to subvert the creative design of lemmy of being a free-speech alternative to the corporate chokehold that is known as reddit
Was lemmy not originally created by a communist? I feel coming to a website/websites made(possible) by a communist full of communists and then crying about all the tankies is sort of silly even in premise.
Yes and exactly as you said. It's pure performative theater.
Some people really have far too much free time they spend online
There are waaaay too many upset about something so small. And sadly a few who make it their entire personality/reason for being on lemmy
