Yeah and nothing of worth was lost by doing it. I highly recommend everyone do so.

I went a step further and stopped using their software (lemmy/jerboa). #piefedgang

Side note, not sure if lemmy does this yet, but piefed merges comments from crossposts so you can view it all on the same page. super convenient.

I've blocked lemmy.world for me (it's been a saving a huge amount my screen space from that degen meme world)

That’s their only takes.

I'd say the split is around 50/50.

Some truly believe this crap, and the rest are LARPing MAGAts

Tankies are tribal loyalists whose chosen ingroup is leftists and alleged leftists. They do not understand the latter distinction. Like all conservatives, their stated ideals are ad-hoc justifications. Claims cannot contradict, in this worldview, because claims are not evaluated; they are only a card-shuffling word game to establish superiority.

They think that's all you're doing. They think that's all there is.

probably drank the same koolaid as magats would. they even use the same PC buzzwords.

That‘s hilarious. The admins‘ version of respect is to delete the comment they disagree with and leave a smug reply.

It's called hypocrisy

No, because you can keep using it if you disagree with its creators by simply using a different instance, unlike if you disagree with Spez on Reddit.

Pretty much. The Ye Power Tripping Bastards community never lacks for content.

The tankies were some of the first to be purged from Reddit so they were on the ground floor of Lemmy. They are baked in.

It’s less of an orangeboi-supportive statement, and more of a “I don’t like it when you neg on Russia >:(“ statement. But it’s no less of an idiotic position for that.

It's a running joke in American politics for Democrats to shit the bed in a dozen winnable states, then spend the next four years insisting "The tiny fringe third party candidate stabbed us in the back!" This, while cozying up to the most toxic reactionaries the US has to offer.

You can do a national tour with Liz Cheney and Jeff Flake for the last three months of your campaign. You can spend half a billion dollars on that weird Las Vegas globe thing, running annoying ads that only other DC consultants pay attention to. You can mirror Republican policy on issues Americans absolutely hate. And you can bend over backwards for the most horrid stew of reactionary oligarchs.

But it's still always those damned foreigners, those stupid independent voters, and the insidious Internet Leftists who are to blame when you lose.
