I think it was just a futile effort to poison AI scrapers.
I just got one of those 😭
They previously had code which would replace 'þ' with 'th' because of a single lemmy user. Only removed it after getting called out. The developers are incredibly petty.
then they just need to relabel the block button the 'independent thought alarm' and it will be the perfect echochamber
What is a tankie triad?
I made a handy diagram, also they really dropped the ball calling it 'tankie triad' instead of 'the tankie troika'
I'm inclined to agree on both counts.
This describes their entire comm. Every 'example' of what tankies believe comes with a hyperbolic framing (their megathread for example)
The comic is a rule 5 violation and undercuts the rest of your post. I'm giving you an opportunity to remove it before I remove the post entirely.
doesn't sound particularly principled from how you describe, particularly if he's reveling in upsetting people irl. I'll consider myself lucky not having run into someone like that so far as it sounds pretty odious to have to deal with in a small group.
There’s a pro-genocide authoritarian in my town who believes that we, here in America, can’t overthrow our shackles until every Ukrainian is dead because he truly believes all Ukrainians are Nazis.
If they're bringing that sort of thing up when it comes to ice watch stuff then it sounds wildly out of place, from an organizing standpoint. The marxists I know doing community defense/ice watch don't talk about geopolitics at all when doing local work- there are bigger fish to fry.

Was getting sick of the endless political horseshoe/fishhook/stethoscope left punching memes, so I made this for !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com, crossposting here since most of the emojis are lifted from here

Account purged on quokk.au for 'brigading' due to linking to a YPTB post about their moderation
(lemmy.ml)
Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
I asked quokka for an explanation, but did not receive a response until I mentioned it in the db0 general chat.
Here's the comment in /c/slop where I link my yptb post because someone mentioned that I had been banned for my original comment.
I did not include any call to action and I directed the conversation to YPTB because /c/slop is not for getting into it about specific moderators/admins on fedi.
As to what my 'goals' were by linking to it; we're on a discussion forum, signposting a conversation happening elsewhere is not what I would consider 'brigading'.
The post that I linked to was my own post in YPTB complaining about getting comm banned for pointing out the misogyny in the OOP post title
5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Posting links to other comments to direct discussion there is extremely common on fediverse.
Because this was a full account purge rather than a ban, this looks like pretty clear retaliation to hide criticism of the mod that I was calling out for misogyny, rather than addressing the issue in a serious way at all.
As stated by quokka in the above matrix message, on quokk.au there's apparently an unwritten rule that if you're posting a link on hexbear to anywhere it's grounds for total account deletion due to 'brigading' if one of their members doesn't like what you're saying.
It looks pretty unprecedented based on their modlog, the only people receiving such action previously were spammers
Meanwhile, there's an entire community out there where posts are linked to on other instances with sarcastic, hyperbolic paraphrases and clear calls to action. Worth noting that even the most egregious users there don't have their accounts purged on .ml.
The moderator that I called out (and I have to assume they were the one to report reported me) is an active participant there, and seems to see no problem with that type of behavior.
Looks like a clear double standard and retaliation for calling out the moderators overreaction to me pointing out a misogynistic post title.
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
74 year community ban for 'homophobia'
3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
here's the exchange that resulted in the ban:
5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
I'm gay, trans, and an anarchist. I thought the post title was misogynistic, objectifying, and not a good example something that should be in a 'queer friendly' space.
Not everyone is okay with sexual degradation humor, misogynistic comments, etc, even if it's about people you disagree with. Pointing that out in this case got me called a homophobic tankie and banned within minutes of making the post.
okay which one of you is this 
cw: 4 year old post, if it was from today they would probably be going on about piefed
they post violence about housing providers and they all laugh. Crypto, therapeutics, any remote discussion of no new normal, flat-earth/conical earth just really any conspiracy stuff it's just laughed at and they will send pictures of disgusting stuff to you. I got pictures of poop pig ball and other things.
