Yeah um I will have to disagree here. This is like letting Nazis come in here and discuss on why it’s necessary to kill Jews. After all this time expecting anything from them is the definition of insanity.
You moderate here and I respect your views on how to do things. But in my life I have learned that there is nothing to be gained from having the moral high ground. I’m tired of being held to higher standards than scum. They’re allowed to spew shit while we are not. This is a tit for tat situation.
I feel stupid writing this since I’m essentially sinking to their level but these people should be erased from the internet. There is nothing good that can come from them.
The main admin of my previous instance threw me under the bus when they came in and brigaded the instance. Started accusing me of lighting the fire when I made a post about defederation with the hex and grad (not even .ml bruh) and that it was my fault that they did what they did. Even while they were insulting mods and even the main admin HIMSELF and brigading the instance. I WAS STILL ASKED TO SHOW PROOF and I responded by saying why should I? They did exactly what I was trying to warn the instance about. I still provided proof but man that left a sour taste in my mouth after that.
The French are worshippers of « the moral high ground » and letting people explain themselves and then the leopards ate their faces.
Some did defend me but it was sparse.
I mean if you want them to come in here and embarrass themselves that would make more sense.
I don’t care what they think of us they should be silenced.
I think there’s a bug with your instance since your replies don’t appear in any threads unless viewed from your instance. Thankfully I can still see direct replies you make, though I don’t know if anyone else can see these.
Tankies are kept on a tight leash, they can’t make calls for death and murder and the usual edgy shit they larp about. All they can do is expose themselves that their viewpoints are nonsensical and hypocritical, and they know this, and that’s why none of them ever try to come into this community. Throughout the years of this community, we’ve only had a few of these tankies actually venture and try to explain themselves. Though none of them ever actually argue in favour of communism or why authoritarianism is so good, typically it’s just to spread falsehoods about one particular topic they take interest in, such as Palestine or Ukraine.
I’m not the biggest fan of being held to a higher standard either, and there have been many times when I stopped caring. But the reason is that if you act mature and patient, you show people visiting this community how unhinged tankies are, which in turn grows the community and encourages more people to switch to piefed and oppose Tankies. I know from being in their personal circles that they absolutely loathe how effective this community is in changing public perception on tankies and their spaces. It’s enlightening to hear the disparity that they’re immediately identified and shut down in different spaces they visit.
I agree with you that there’s no convincing them, you can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into. Tankies don’t believe in their ideals because of theory, or logic or reason, but much like neo-nazis and other extremists – It’s emotion that fuels them. It’s rage at a system that hasn’t rewarded their narcissism, it’s an inability they may be wrong.
I’m sorry you’ve been a victim of them. I’ve been a victim of their efforts as well, they’ve tried to doxx me, post fake nudes, spread fake information, regularly lie, harass me and others and stalk me. They have entire chat rooms dedicated to me, so I know how you feel.
But yeah, it’s mainly for them to embarrass themselves and have regular people who may not know about Tankies realise how extremist and nonsensical these individuals are. But none of them will be brave enough to venture outside their rather fragile safe spaces.
Yeah it seems my instance is acting up or it’s the piefed/voyager link. I’m saw a post on all that was recent and when I went down to comment I instantly got an upvote but it’s dead post from 4 months ago. Don’t understand exactly what’s going on there.
I fully believe you can manage them but I also believe it’s quite unnecessary for the reasons I stated before.
I’m also sorry to hear what you had to go through. It really makes this place toxic.
