Your community for poking fun at the bullshit tankies say and spread.
Rules:
No tankie talking points. That includes the classics (denial of genocide of Uyghurs, denial of ML dictator's crimes, campism, calling everyone you disagree with a liberal or CIA etc.) and general shit opinions (general genocide denial, antisemitism, racism, queerphobia, etc.)
MLs are not communists. They never actually worked towards it and there are some who don't even define it as a stateless, classless, egalitarian society. So MLs shouldn't be called communists in the first place. Calling hating MLs anticommunism will probably expose you as either a tankie or a right winger, both of which aren't welcome here.
Right-wingers, fash, nazis, nazbols etc. are not welcome! Right wing talking points (such as anti-woke, anti-queer, speaking favorably of far right figures, being anti-antifa etc.) will get you banned pretty quickly.
Please respect people's pronouns. Deliberately misgendering people repeatedly is going to lead you to have issues with the mods. Defending misgendering will get you banned.
No brigading. People caught brigading in this comm will be banned. Also we oppose brigading in other comms. Keep the discussions and stuff within the comm.
On near-east topics: Nakba is an established fact. The (ongoing) Palestinian genocide is a fact. Israel commits crimes against Palestinians. No anti-Arab (such as Palestinians and Druze) sentiments allowed (it falls under racism anyways). In regards to Israel, do not dehumanize civilians. Saying shit like "there are no civilians in Israel/Palestine" will get you permabanned.
Be kind to one another. Try to deescalate any fights.
Content guidance:
Anti-ML memes, screenshots and humor are allowed.
For general discussion threads please ask.
If there is demand, we can do a open discussion thread once a month. But it will get locked if in escalates into a dumpster fire.
Any voting encouragement on LSC is now consistently removed by an MLer on the mod team.
The days .world is safe from tankie censorship are over. Voting in the midterms is straightup the same as zionism.
And for some inexplicable reason the Fediverse seems to be bleeding MAU…
It always was.
I suggest everyone do what they can to contact the admins to have that shithole removed. Free speech is one thing, but openly supporting fascism and propaganda is another. They are spreading MAGA-like psyop bullshit. That comm needs to burn to the ground.
Agreed. I think the comm could be saved if the mod team was reset. As someone else said, brainbox user is not coming of as a very stable user in the first place.
Either that or we need to find an instance that has pro-democracy, anti-propaganda, pro respectful free speech, anti hate speech and where the comms are enforced to follow the instance rules, as I’m pretty sure brainbox on LSC is breaking the instance rules with that type of mod behaviour.
Brainbox is a flaming pile of vapid dogshit that requires a sitewide ban. But admins would rather just not rock the boat. It’s this and other reasons why I bailed on .world. The admins there are useless.
