    Apparently they didn't pay for their registration renewal. Watch out for a flood of displaced tankies, you can usually find them by saying fuck Putin, or fuck Xinnie the pooh, and they'll just put themselves so you can block them.

    Damn, in the comments people are suggesting switching to domains like tankie.cn or tankie.su ?

    They are really trying to positively reclaim the word tankie aren’t they?

    I have a hard time taking authoritarians seriously, whether they are left wing or right wing.

    Don't get me wrong, sinophobia or russophobia for the sake of it is just dumb, but like the other guy said, if we get banned for having a different opinion on those country's dictators than they do... Maybe they should just stay in their safe space by themselves, isolated. Just like Russia and China should be sanctioned and isolated for their imperialist bullshit, and just like America should be for its imperialist bullshit.

    Also, if they adopt a .cn tld, they'll lose their domain name again. Not even China wants anything to do with them, hexbear was blocked in China haha.

    Omg I thought you were joking!

    (Were you joking? If so, IT'S ALSO REAL! 😂)

    multiple examples but here's a good one: https://chapo.chat/post/4468531/5913648

    Note your standard search function won't work from the home location bc the new instance isn't federated yet.

    Would make blocking their users a lot easier, at least! It's like self-reporting that you're not to be taken seriously.

    or just look for their obnoxious emojis, which are full color photos of some gross asshole.

    Im honestly annoyed by this as I have over 30 communities on hexbear blocked. id really not like to have to do it again

    Good news - you can block entire instances on current Lemmy. No need to go community by community.

    Bad news - it does nothing about the users. You'll still see their comments and posts elsewhere.

    yeah I read this, and have tried, a bunch of times, to block hexbear on Summit, but it doesn't seem to work.

    I'm assuming summit is an app? Try using it through the webui.

    Maybe make a post on their community, not a subreddit, that would be stupid, this isn't reddit, !summit@lemmy.world
