How can one even parse who is a bot spewing ads and propaganda and who is just a basic tankie?
They both get the same scripts.. it's an impossible task.
Easy solution, report bad content. It doesn't matter if it's a bot or a tankie.
Report a tankie-post in a tankie-sub and watch as nothing happens.
Those mods love it when the correct genocide happens.
This is wrong, silencing is not right. We live in a free society, and if they are shiti organic like the rest of us, then they should be entitled to express their opinion... they start doing genocide apologizing which where that convo ends every single time.
Just because it's not a bot, doesn't mean it's free expression. Several governments are paying thousands of people to push and argue propaganda.
If a person is ID as a bad a faith actor, then it is a different situation
I can think of 4 users from memory who are outspoken propaganizers.
They're the champions of hexbear and .ml
They each post about every 90 minutes on average
I can't tell if ml tankies are a foreign threat actors tbh
They seem to engage but it is pretty easy to test limits of what they will discuss. They will revert back to copy pasting some poorly sourced bullshit about USSR great 🤡
They don't spam it, so I am assuming real people sitting in a weird ideological box.
If they take Russian money to do thisz they'd hould be banned
We recently had a thread about some alt right clown taking russian money for their "work"
Regime whores don't get second chances IMHO
I'm not saying they should be immediately silenced, but they should be reported. The moderators can then look at their post history and decide whether to ban based on instance/community rules.
Report for express tankie opinion or commie genocide denials?
Hopefully, we pick decent enough admins and mods that we'll generally do the latter. But the former can be really annoying as well when it involves denying other facts.
Other than the political misinformation, dangerous comments must be silenced, like ones recommending we drink bleach to heal ourselves... just an example. Free speech is not an open invitation to lie, misinform, incite wanton violence etc... The limit to free speech is that line beyond which we cause harm.
People repost fake news around here that fo all these things but because it is part of the political "process" we say that's fine 🤡
nothing wrong with tankies, they just need to speak better LMAO.
