Ah I get it now, you’re most likely a .ml alt account, so goodbye!

Tankie definition: "authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

You would warn newcomers about the Tankie Triad too if you had repeatedly seen all the stories of “I tried Lemmy, but it just seemed like a bunch of tankies, turns out it was just because I was on .ml when I tried it again”

There’s tons more that never came back and go on life thinking Lemmy is Voat 2.0. I know this because there’s plenty of comments on Reddit whenever Lemmy comes up about “it’s just Tankies over there”

Yes, how dare I try to protect Lemmy’s rep, I don’t want to see this place become Voat 2.0

It’s not a straight deal breaker for me, but it’s a pretty big barrier, I just can’t leave Boost lol 😔

Sounds like it’s coming along

Heh I’m finding out so much about how inadequate the blocking system on Lemmy is the past couple days. I’m not a conspiracy theorist type of person, but it’s so bad it almost feels… intentional lol

Welcome happy you’re here! We’ve got memes on deck at [email protected] and if you’re a programmer of some kinds we got [email protected] to scratch that itch and be sure to drop a shit(post) off at [email protected] or if you want SCIENCE and memes head over to the wonderful [email protected] or if you just want regular SCIENCE mander.xyz is full of sciency comms like [email protected] and [email protected]. [email protected] is also nice this time of year, but you’ll have to post before you can leave.

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies (Authoritarian “communists” who will overlook any wrong doings of China, Russia, NK because they think their governments are the “gold standard”), but here they’re mostly on the Tankie Triad lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. You have a Reddit.org account so iirc you only need to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. If you want to see what they get up to from a safe distance check [email protected]

It wasn’t my intent to criticize Piefed either, just trying to not over sell it to new users, I’d rather not them be thinking it’s a perfect drop-in replacement, and then have a sour taste in their mouth when they run into an issue

Np! If you have any specific interest, feel free to ask and I can probably find some good comms for you

Iirc it was mostly around notifications and federation delays

Lol I’m trying it out, davel un-instance-banned me after that meme went live and then banned me from each comm individually instead, so they could brigade my posts/comments

Soooo I decided to try out .cafe since they defed from the entire triad lolol

Yes and no, this topic comes up fairly frequently, and generally…nobody knows the best solution forward LMAO

piefed.social is a Lemmy “competitor” and is intended to be fully interoperable, but in practice it hasn’t matured yet and it’s interoperability with the Lemmy-verse is decent but has its quirks

But a big thing there is they have a multi sub type feature to combine comms like that

But some people also like the multiple comms, because they can have different viewpoints and culture.

Like lemmy.ml is a huge Tankie instance and their c/memes comms moderation skew towards censoring of comments and posts critical of Russia/China/NK and allows political memes

Where as c/meme on .world have banished most political memes directing them to [email protected] instead

Well there’s [email protected] and [email protected] [email protected]

For anarchism specifically, I’m not sure, I think [email protected] maybe

For religion, not sure, religious comms are quite small here ATM, maybe [email protected] could be a good fit

Trying to shore up against .ml brigading, before I was instance-banned so .ml users couldn’t see my posts n stuff. Then 2 months later, totally not coinciding with a recent meme I posted, davel was so kind as to fix that and only manually ban me from .ml comms individually so that .ml users could see and brigade my posts and comments again

Well yea, but one of the favored line of arguments is the “The CCP has a 95% approval rating!”, which is probably true, but there’s a good reason for it. And you know I don’t blame the Chinese people one bit, if all I and my parents had known was death and famine and an authoritarian government came in and brought stability and prosperity for the first time in generations, id look the other way on a ton of things too

Edelman is a global communications firm that partners with businesses and organizations to evolve, promote and protect their brands and reputations.​

Sounds like they don’t care about the truth, only making whatever their clients want to be “presentable”/accepted and how much they get paid for it.

Clearly the people of China trust their government and since you have yet to provide a source explaining how their government is organized we can only go with my source which clearly indicated that there is direct democracy

And you’re operating without understanding the historical reasons for it. For the Chinese people the CCP is leagues better than what came before. What came before the CCP was…quite bad. So from their POV and objectively, yes the CCP is pretty decent for the Chinese people as they would sacrifice things like freedom of speech because of the stability the CCP provides.

But what’s good for them does not automatically translate to good for the world, especially in countries where basic human rights have been somewhat enjoyed to varying degrees
