“Uyghur atrocity propaganda equate birth control with genocide.” Is his literal words for the first one, some are memes and you almost have to interpret into a quote. How do you directly quote a meme?
Besides, here’s one that just happened earlier today, no quotes no interpretation other than saying what happened (banning people who call out Russian propaganda): https://lemmy.zip/post/53268068
And those are only highlights, the megathread has many MANY examples
Some highlights:
"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558
The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
Lol, tankies are authoritarians
As documented in the Megathread here

Nutomic is like the second in command and word around the cooler is hes the one that does the bulk of the coding work. They definitely have shared values, with the exception of his transphobia.
He doesn’t do a whole lot as far as admining .ml goes so isn’t featured as much or ever actually now that I think about it
Whataboutism
Have you reviewed the evidence or are you just going to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist
If you’ve been site banned from .ml, then .ml users will not be able to see you. There is also a way to site-ban a user in a way that they also won’t be able to see your content prior to the ban issuance as well. Called a siteban with purge
And here is a good example of whataboutism or red herring, attempting to shift to a different topic that distracts from the original point or question.
What rule(s) am I breaking? What accountability am I denying?
Yea pretty much, .ml defenders or ideology aligned people for sure
There’s also a group on Lemmy who hate power posters and only want to see people that post handcrafted artisan posts and not articles or memes. Which is baffling because Lemmy/PieFed/Reddit are all of social media type known as link aggregators LMAO
Hi again gofer!
Still refusing to even see evidence I see lol
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we all have our hobbies
Documentation of their toxic extremism it’s a little more than mere “dislike” when they themselves are toxic to the Threadiverse and support the idea that anyone not aligned with their authoritarian values should just “go back to Reddit”
Hamid hmm any relation to the hardcore tankie defender hamid@vegantheoryclub 🤔
The Lemmy blocking system is very half baked, possibly intentionally, and doesn’t work in this manner. Blocks on my side only prevent me from seeing them, but they will still see (and be able to interact with, which is the big problem with it) my posts/comments
Otherwise I would totally do this lol
Fear of retaliation in the form of withheld support from dessalines or “slow walked” at the very least.
Just that there’s a group of users who are anti-power posters for sure who really hate seeing the same users posting for some reason. I have someone who blocks me because I apparently post…phoronix…a tad too much for their liking lmao
It’s an age old argument from long before I had left .world and had a bunch of alts. Even before I started crossposting .ml. A lot of power posters end up being accused of being a bot by a certain minority of users lmao
making every single user of a large instance out to be a tankie.
I have not done this once, please provide receipts on this. I have very specifically been against the admins of .ml and select provable Tankie users of .ml
There is also no shot it isn’t just a script or bot being run unless they themselves spend an insane amount of time on ml
Well it isn’t, for one, the activity levels on .ml just isn’t that busy. For 2, I don’t personally watch .ml, I just have a hook into the RSS feed and just get a notification on my phone. Takes me <15 seconds to crosspost a post. Couldn’t bot it even if I wanted to, I have to be extremely selective because there’s always a propaganda post of some kind.
making the while “boycott” thing horseshit to begin with.
Fair, though it’s definitely not automated. Heavy posting yes, automated no.
The absolute irony here is that I actually considered this perspective weeks ago, but I figured since you can block a user in 3 clicks or less straight from the encountered post the burden of anyone out there blocking me would be low and nbd. Ig not lmao
Honestly, I had no idea that they were only open for a day, I just peruse Lemmyverse.net and pick instances that seem interesting or have funny/cool sounding names 😂
