They go around brigadeing and bullying people all over the internet but they can't handle when someone points out their hypocrisies and insane ramblings.
"If people laugh at us being stupid online, the next step is doxing!"
Or maybe that's not the logical next step. Maybe the laughter at pathetic tankie shit is its own reward.
There's a bunch of "shit x says" types of communities on different Lemmy instances, including grad/hex/exploding. Do they want to get rid of all of them?
I don't like the attitude of name&shame or bullying, especially behind someone's internet back which all of these have in common. At least this community has some comments which don't do that.
All of those/these kinds of communities, regardless of their target, do have that ban evasion vibe. Like an unrequited romance, some unresolved argument that ended in a ban. I find a lot of these posts to be typically weird at best or just a personal vendetta, also weird.
They can't go back in and tell Sheila what they really think but they can yell at everyone outside in the parking lot about it.
Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it can be funny.
They are pretty weird, yeah. My account is often hit by botwaves.
What's "hex"? I know the other two you're referring to
Short for hexbear. It's another tankie instance
I've actually upvoted a few good comments on other instances from accounts created there. Too bad the majority seem to be spammers
Me too actually. I haven't explored their communities though.
Thanks, I'll add it to my blocklist
Lol, tankies are starting to shit themselves!
I think I need to actually make an account on the instance and see this for myself.
What instance is it?
Presumably Lemmygrad.
How can you tell which instance(s) it/they are?
Given this community is about taking the absolute piss out of Lemmygrad, I'm assuming them.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.
