Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Here, seems like you could find this useful in the future:
Thanks comrade! 😄
Uh oh, that looks like another emoji from the standard set. Here’s a couple offerings:
🥰
Just a small selection of the possibilities:
Blood libel denial
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.
Weird how they banned you and didn't use any of their own rules
Edit:
According to the mod of comm ml is against the rules but only so they have the option to ban people not explicitly no ml
🤣
I think if we're being intellectually honest with ourselves we know that chuds will always stack the deck against us because fairness is genuinely antithetical to their worldview, but seeing it made manifest does gift unto me the sweet nectar of vindication.
Except with the hive mind there they'll be on the pro censorship side. Amazing how they only seem to care when ml is being the mean ones
Maybe, we'll see. Every chance taken is an opportunity for growth or knowledge. Seems to be going pretty well so far. Gotta send my appreciation to comrade Amnesigenic at some point for the direct support. Merely knowing other people cast an eye to it is support aplenty, but direct involvement always puts further morale to it.
I hope it goes well! Just got sad after seeing reactions and comments in recent threads (and instant locks). Especially the one after yours https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61563397
db0 has been on an anti-tankie crusade lately, even though the libs accuse them of being tankies anyway 🙄😔
Which gets even weirder seeing them also cross posting memes from hexbear.net
I meant db0 the person not db0 the instance, they are a mixed bag
I know. I was still surprised they did that
Ooooooh thanks! Let's see where this goes...😼

Update: Oh my, Deceptichum has joined the fray there. This seems to have piqued their interest.
Let us look at a specific example. A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.
What is this social purpose? Westerners want to believe that other places are worse off, exactly how Americans and Canadians perennially flatter themselves by attacking each others’ decaying health-care systems, or how a divorcee might fantasize that their ex-lover’s blooming love-life is secretly miserable. This kind of “crab mentality” is actually a sophisticated coping mechanism suitable for an environment in which no other course of action seems viable. Cognitive dissonance, the kind that eventually spurs one into becoming intolerant of the status quo and into action, is initially unpleasant and scary for everybody. In this way, we can begin to understand the benefit that “victims” of propaganda derive from carelessly “spreading awareness.” Their efforts feed an ambient propaganda haze of controversy and scandal and wariness that suffocates any painful optimism (or jealousy) and ensuing sense of duty one might otherwise feel from a casual glance at the amazing things happening elsewhere. People aren’t “falling” for atrocity propaganda; they’re eagerly seeking it out, like a soothing balm.
free of the “ML” influence is a place for undogmatic shitposting
🤣🤦
