    They operate without honor! So both should be on the right

  • Here's a recap post

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

    Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

    Since Lemmy doesn’t suck down data like corporate social media does simply lurking doesn’t contribute to an instance’s growth.

    And when you crosspost that content elsewhere, with no comments or upvoting on the original, it diminishes that instance’s power and influence just a bit and contributes to a more decentralized Lemmy-verse

    We should be doing the same with .world, not because of toxic propaganda pushing admins, but just so that content is more decentralized in general. But I’m just 1 person who refuses to automate it, soo I can only do so much lmao

    On Lemmy, big comms, user counts and content are an instances influence, the more you have the less others will be willing to defederate from you. Kinda why .ml can get away with so much crap

    I'm cross-posting content from .ml comms to the nearest non-.ml comm as part of ongoing boycotting efforts to reduce .ml's influence to make defederation an easier decision for admins everywhere because of the .ml admins insistence to push their Tankie ideology through various means from censorship of views critical of Authoritarian regimes such as Russia or China (and even criticism of the right-wing)to allowing propaganda outlets (such as RT) to flourish

  • I wish lol, yea world did defederate with the rest of the triad, but .ml is generally left because

    Its the dev instance and they run official Lemmy dev/support comms from there, they still have a few big comms and some of the only niche comms (both issues I aim to address through cross-posting) and they "keep the mask on" more and keep things subtle to avoid larger defed movements

  • That's why you gotta learn to feed and hold the controller at the same time lmao

  • 40's? I'm barely in my 30s and talked for weeks about my new cordless mop/vacuum hybrid thing LMAO

  • Lol, I mean maybe, but at the same time, what kind of protest/boycott/strike grants exceptions? That would make such things powerless and pointless.

    And it is publicly posted content, once you post something publicly anywhere you essentially lose control of it (with the exception of if someone is profiting off it, then you have an avenue of control).

    Also, FYI, they were in that thread calling the comm a "shit comm" even though I didn't even mod it and the sopuli instance "toxic" (I think anyways, could have been calling the comm toxic, but they never clarified)

  • Lol, how else do you spread awareness for something you're passionate about if not to bring it up "whenever possible" (ofc assuming wherever possible meaning, at least tentatively related). Do you not see them doing the exact same thing with their wall of links? LMAO

    Also, I just noticed the other user was banned hours ago for Voting manipulation soooo yea take that as you will lolol ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • What do people said, but since you're new, here's a recap post on what the whole Tankie situation is about (if you didn't encounter them on Reddit lol

  • It's really quite simple, hamid@vegantheoryclub.org was an up and coming Tankie and was absolutely aligning their instance with the Tankie Triad.

    As for why .ml is a "Tankie Instance" in general, and documentation of it, you can see the recap post

  • That cm lad constantly tries to bring up ".ml" out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it's almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.

    Lol

    1. I don't do it out of "no where" I generally stick to relevant threads
    2. I have plenty of my own posts. In general, I try to aim for a 1:2 ratio, for every crosspost I post 2 articles/content that aren't cross-posts (.ml isn't actually all that busy lmao)
    3. lemmy.ml is probably the biggest threat to the long term viability of the Lemmy-verse. It's just so amazing(/S) to come across comments out in the wild on say Reddit that goes along the lines of "I tried that Lemmy place, but it seemed to be just a bunch of tankies/run be Tankies" because they had the misfortune to land on lemmy.ml

    stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it's harmful

    Yea, harmful to the .ml instance ...which is kinda the whole point of a boycott, to put pressure on the target to either change their ways or fall to irrelevancy

    Recap Post

  • I can't ever forget @davel@lemmy.ml they're in the modlog way too much for that lolol

    But I was under the impression that they were just an admin and not a dev and that dessalines and Nutomic were the main devs with dessalines making architectural and roadmap decisions

  • but just handing it over isn't really appropriate.

    Well I would hope, if they were open to it, they would have internal discussions with the main mods and maybe some sort of vote amongst their user base and/or giving those who'd rather not time to delete their data before anything changes hands

  • I'm going to buy a new/used car this decade so I can finally switch to an EV

    ...but not until my last new car completely dies beyond what my lifetime warranty on it can fix.....ok it might be longer than a decade because it's already going on year 13 lmao

  • Is transferring it to someone else in the cards? I have an LLC intended for my own future instance plans, but I'd be more than happy to take over .ee under it to prevent the loss of another good Lemmy-verse instance
