Note to the commenters here: This is a single comm, not the instance. We have plenty of anti-tankie comms as well, like !flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !tankiejerk@lemmy.dbzer0.com. That comm tries misguidedly to enforce left-unity, which is why it’s always ending up in drama like that.

Db0 Admins be like Sacrebleu, Nien , of course we French are not Nazis. This is a proud Vitchy France Instance! OwO notices your lack of ML.

Fuk Hexbear users.

I’m seeing dbzer0 lose the information war to ml and adopt more tankie stances on issues over time.

So like tankie ideas are better? To keep winning the information war? Like more correct information… wins?

If liberal ideas prevailed in debate over communist ones, it was because the liberal ideas had won out in the open marketplace of ideas. But when in fact communist ideas usually prevailed, it was because the communists had been waging an "information war" parenti-hands

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So much for the marketplace of ideas

[–] Soot@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

berdly-smug Every opinion and ideology is subject to the free and fair marketplace of ideas

Communism goes on to outcompete other ideas

angery Not like that. Mods please stop letting me see this

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Tankies mog dbzer0 on the marketplace of ideas without even trying i guess, i for one have no clue who they are lol for all i know they're just a random instance.

Interestingly the “not the instance” argument didn’t apply when you guys voted to defed from feddit.org last month.

So by your own community’s standards it is absolutely the whole instance.

germany-cools still mad lmfao

"Grail" is DroneRights, by the way

Sad Grail doesn't link their blog on this account. That shit was wild back in the day

[–] emdash@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

I had fun going down the rabbit hole of the Soulism Reddit one time. It really puts the various Grail personas into context.

Salute to our hard working infiltrators.

[–] MeetMeAtTheMovies@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Infiltration is when I have an account on an .ml instance because Hexbear just won’t respond sometimes

Ah yes, pro-genocide instance lemmy.world has valuable opinions on what is and isn't left.

Diva has an account on hexbear, therefore is automatically branded with the original sin, which is as American as Apple pie, of being a stankie red fash-ionista

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Many such cases.

Also this shit is so funny

who needs feds when they have created a perpetual motion machine of self censorship

Omg the anti troop bait work!!

Ideally the bait would have been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-powered_mousetrap for better efficiency

I am, however it turns out the server your internet forum account is registered on is the real determining factor for your politics, rather than any work you do or any positions you hold

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

For the observer: .ml is not an explicitly Marxist-Leninist instance.

This may be confusing because the TLD is a misnomer, and the background of the admins is a red herring.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

Anyone left of Henry Kissenger is a tankie to these ghouls

[–] calidris@hexbear.net 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Free from "ML" (read: Dengist) influence.

This is a very curious statement.

[–] MeetMeAtTheMovies@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago

Leftymemes, loud and clear: “We’re LeftComs”

Liberals: “Just like the instance that loves China!”

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

For what it's worth, I'm a known SWCC enjoyer and fan of Xi Jinping Thought, and I haven't been banned or censored there. They have a pretty lax moderation policy and instead direct it against liberals and fascists more than anything.

[–] calidris@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This could mean a number of different things which I may or may not agree with lol. I'm happy to see there isn't a blanket ban on non-anarchists.

In my experience, anarchists are typically the most knowledgeable with a lot of tech in the leftist sphere. I would hate to lose both access to and the ability to contribute to these types of things.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yep, it's a fuzzy thing. "Dengism" isn't an ideology, all "Dengists" also support Mao Zedong Thought and Xi Jinping Thought. Those that uphold Reform and Opening Up but denounce Mao's essential contributions to laying out socialism aren't actually supportive of Deng, but of liberalism and wish Deng actually did re-establish capitalism.

TL; DR

mao-wave solidarity deng-cowboy solidarity suswcc

Agreed on anarchists, I like the piracy community over there as an example.

Dbzer0 (as an instance) has been on better terms with Marxists lately. There's a contradiction between the rising Marxist-friendly dbzer0 and the dying away anti-communist dbzer0. The admin team is fairly split over there it seems from the outside.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ok but is the Admin DBzer0 still an anti-communist or have they grown as a person?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

DB0 seems worse than before, while Unruffled and other admins seem better than before. Contradictions sharpening yada yada dialectical materialism spiral.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

DB has been noticably more irritable since his 'I'm being polite because I think you are stupid, but if I am unable to control the conversation I will just use every excuse in the book rather than just admit that I was wrong.' ass got slapped here about oh idk two years ago?

Probably more going on than just that, but that definitely was the start of the specific bad relations.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yep, and it seems to be getting worse over time, while the other mods and admins in general seem to be getting more chill.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It very much seems like nursing a personal grudge more than anything else, which given our personal history, is not that surprising.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago
[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I remember his “disengage” crash out. That was fun

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh that's a common thing, not a one-off. If I were to speculate, I'd say db0 feels caught between the broader left-unity stance that's rising on dbzer0 the instance and db0's own anti-communism, as well as the fact that dbzer0 as an instance is democratic in how they run things. That's why db0 seems to be more antsy lately.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he only likes democracy when the democracy agrees with him

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

I don't disagree, that's why I think dbzer0's natural growth and development is causing sharpening contradictions, the struggle of the old vs the new.

If I had to name just one expansion, EverQuest: The Scars of Velious suspiciously preceded the 2001 Albanian insurgency in Macedonia. I suspect this is when the Hexbear tankies made their first move to infiltrate NATO.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

It's the Soviet Empire thing where making allies is somehow equivalent to a colonialist expansion

TL;DR: I called out a defederation evader from hexbear.

Why are liberals so eager to cry defed when they are subject to the tiniest of repercussions (a comms ban) for their what-was-almost-inevitably-shitty-chud actions?

Mods are always like "Please stop spouting Nazi propaganda for two seconds", then any Lemmyworlder is yelling "Tankie" from the rooftops powercry-2

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

They invented border control for lemmy

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

This is hilarious I've never seen a hexbear-cool from the outside

[–] Moidialectica@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Most dbzer0 users are cool, those who interact in Hexbear are awesome, dbzer0 would've been defed from Hexbear if this weren't the case.

[–] Liketearsinrain@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The persecution complex is unhealthy. With the amount of crap going on in the world they decide leftists are what to focus on
