They have very predictable trigger points. Also I am starting to believe that there is a bot that automatically downvotes anything that contains the word tankie.
.ml is Lemmy's The_Donald or /r/Conservative. Obviously different ideologies, but the behavior is the same. Bunch of petulant children.
It’s quite obviously a troll farm.
that's hilariously accurate.
they brigade constantly.
Saying the Soviet Union, Khmer Rogue and Mao were examples of bad leftist authoritarianism will get you banned from stuff there too.
I find it kinda funny how, according to replies to this, their problem with supporting the Khmer Rouge is that it was US-backed.
Nah, the problem was that it wasn't even close to socialism, and instead was a sort of reactionary agrarian system with brutal repressions. It was stopped by the communists. Pointing out that the US Empire backed it is to prove the point that it absolutely wasn't leftist, and that "tankies" don't support it.
Not necessarily the best example in this post, but in general, I find I get downvoted a lot when I make a good faith comment in .ml posts where I think I’m agreeing and am trying to understand the topic further. Getting 20 downvotes kind of kills my motivation to engage any further, though, so I usually just delete my comment , shrug, and move on. I’ve gotten to the point where I try to avoid wasting my time and energy commenting on .ml posts in the first place.
Maybe it’s just a different perspective on what a downvote means? To me, I’m generous with upvotes and withholding an upvote means I don’t find it interesting or disagree. I use downvotes sparingly for spam, trolling, comments made in bad faith, etc.
A downvote in my mind roughly translates to “fuck off”, so if a group gangs up and tells everyone with a slightly different worldview to fuck off, then they eventually will and said group will be all by themselves in their own echo chamber. If that’s the goal, then fair enough.
good faith isn't allowed on .ml.
they won't change. all you can do is block/avoid the communities and users there.

Yes, that's the goal. It's a bunch of crazy people who want to be mean to anyone who disagrees with them. I don't like it so i blocked it so I can't see it. Maybe i have to ban mildlyinfuriating because people share these grad posts i dont like to see.
