Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

It does not matter how calm or reasonable the comment is, if it's deemed to be in dissent of the Tankie mindset it's removed and you're banned

For context this next one ~~might have been~~ (have confirmed with Vitaly) was a comment to https://lemmy.world/post/26045579 (Crossposted version, original that was on .ml memes comm was removed as well so I can't pull up the original to pair the modlog entry to the post like I did for the first 2 screenshots)

for calling out people who justified Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

I can’t find the comment on .ml but the whole thread is a cancer of right wing trolls commenting freely and left wing comments being deleted

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yup that's usually how it goes on the .ml Tankie instance, unfortunately they tend to be more subtle and just remove comments so calls to defed from them are not as strong as it was for hex and grad.

whats the context of that comment?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The last one? I'm fairly certain it was in relation to this meme that I found on the .ml memes comm and crossposted that they also removed

But since it was removed I can no longer pull it up to confirm, but @Vitaly@feddit.uk can confirm

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I said "fuck russia" in response to that meme

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for confirming! It definitely helps to make documentation of .ml tankies bs stronger

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So what's the rule one? Why I was banned?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Officially it's "bigotry", unofficially it's their catch-all for anything they don't like. Criticism of Russia, China etc

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Thanks for explaining, do you think I should ban them? The whole instance I mean

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ill leave that up to you, if you want to help be part of the opposition to the tankies, calling out their BS and stuff, or at least just be another downvote to their shit takes I wouldn't.

If the bigger instances won't defed from the remaining of the Tankie Triad (.ml in this case hex and grad are commonly defed'd from already) I think it's important to at least ensure that new users can see that there is loud opposition on lemmy to their Authoritarian ideologies and that Lemmy != A bunch of tankies

[–] Vitaly@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago

I find it really surprising that there are a lot of ppl with authoritarian ideologies on one of the most free platform that is controlled by normal people and not some corporation. I'm not gonna block them then, I want ppl to know that lemmy is not only about communist propoganda

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

the fuck russia?

Why would someone reply with

Be gone foul [...]

makes no sense.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ah, I see the confusion, my first 2 screenshots are of the post and then the paired modlog entry together

The last screenshot of "Fuck Russia" is an independent third one, but because they (.ml mods) also removed the post I can't pull up the original that was on the .ml meme comm any more, my link is to a crossposted version. Their comment was in reply to that meme.

I edited the post to hopefully clarify that a bit more

Rule 1, be civil. The mods over there use it when they disagree. It's pretty sad.
