I don’t know how anyone can honestly believe that trump and Biden are even comparable, let alone equally bad.

Posted from your Alt account, lol.

Care to share how you feel about what happened in Tiananmen Square during the summer of 1989?

What I do see from .world is a bunch of moderators doing moderator things and very little admin actions

Yeah that gets annoying when you’re the moderator of a non-world community and I am. They rarely ban people and they allow anyone to make a new acc very easily.

but I don’t see the .world admins in every comm across .world removing posts and comments critical of a certain agenda or to push a narrative, like on .ml

I keep seeing people say that but I havent personally seen that and I have said a lot against authoritarian regimes

I see it being dealt with accordingly in the modlog, in fact that’s one of the main times I do see non-.ml admin actions in there, site banning actual bigots

I have been called a “self hating trans person” for being a leftist and had my entire gender invalided, called “fake” more times than I can count by world trolls and I have found nearly every time they were applauded.

Plus if .world really had a transphobe problem, ada would have defederated from it by now.

There are talks and serious considerations, many blahaj members want this

Have you seriously not seen .ml tankies throw around “liberals” or “shitlibs” in the exact same way

Tbh there are many times shitlib is more than justified and I see it very often. Common shitlib arguments include “we should compromise on the Israel-Palestine conflict, what if they only genocide half as many civilians?”, “yeah I support Trans rights, but what if you gave up sports and trans youth as a compromise?”, “yeah the system is rigged but if you dont vote blue no matter who you’re not trying hard enough”. Shitlib makes sense, it says you are a liberal and you are full of shit. Meanwhile tankie is just a blatant attempt to categorize the entire left as authoritarian.

Is usually not individual words, that’s the point. They scrub certain words and phrases to try and hide but they still have a certain way of speaking that you don’t hear anywhere else.

It’s like some people I work with. They don’t use any bigoted slurs or quote crime statistics in my presence but they say other things. Things that normal people, including myself, might say, but they say them in a way that I never hear them said outside of some of the uglier parts of the internet or in a certain kind of company. They don’t even know they’re doing it, they think they’re hiding but they keep saying things that in a safe space, for them, is followed with a sentence that contains bigoted language.

Checks the screenshots. Extremely mid take regarding sports that’s shared by a lot of people that aren’t terminally online. Transphobe, alright.

If the devs being tankies kills this space then it doesn’t matter.

I like Lemmy too, but i don’t like it enough to financially support transphobic fascists.

It’s not political differences, really. Go ahead and be communist, I don’t care. It’s the heavy handed moderation style. It’s a 1 sided instance and anything to the contrary gets deleted and a time limited ban. They go against exactly what they think they stand for.

(different user here)

No, but I want the funds to only be used for Lemmy development, not for their tankie server. They are the ones that make it impossible to do one without the other.

If the political difference is between building a multistory carpark or underground carpark with a park on the ground level, sure, it’s stupid. If the political difference is “Russia does nothing wrong, Ukraine deserved to get invaded because of nazi” and “Russia is to blame for being the aggressor”, then it’s definitely not.

You’re allowed to fund propaganda machine, and people allowed to not do it.
