We need to have a serious talk about this instance being federated with Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and tankies in general (lemm.ee)

TO THE ADMINS: Read this thread and give me one good reason why federating with toxic, propaganda spreading tankie loons is a good idea.

No one wants those fucks, or the alt right dipshits for that matter, around, and they're spreading blatant lies, yet I see they are here. Does lemm.ee only care about boosting its numbers and is willing to sink to new lows to do it, I wonder? ๐Ÿค”

Oh no, there is, because it's their responsibility as admins and third party apps are not an excuse for them to shirk their responsibility toward their users.

Needing a third party app for that kind of basic functionality defeats the point of Lemmy anyway.

    The point of Lemmy is federation. If it doesn't solve your needs, then it's your responsibility to make the decision if it's a healthy ecosystem for you, and if you should keep using it or not.

    No, the point of Lemmy is to replace Reddit, and if we're just going to get enabling admins who likely are tankies or being unduly influenced by tankies, then it is pointless.

    I will NOT go away or be silenced. You will NOT demand I just put up with it or do the admins' job for them. It's their job to protect us from bad faith scumbags looking to fulfill a stupid political agenda and brainwash people.

    Insinuating anyone who complains about abuse is the problem for complaining, not the abusive behavior is a tactic bad-faith actors always use to silence legitimate dissent. Are you here in bad faith? Because by doing it you sure sound like it

    I think you have some personal problems you want others to solve for you. But I don't have time to humor emotional outbursts, so I'll just wish you well and block you.

    And this is how we know you're here in bad faith. Go sign up for Lemmygrad if you love them so damn much

    Nah fam, I personally want tankies here and I don't care if they spread propaganda, astroturf and gang up on anyone they don't like and generally cause trouble and you complaining makes me feel afraid they'll be defederated again, go away and stop threatening my friends' attempts to control popular instances

    -You

    Jesus Christ, dude. I've blocked all the tankie subs when they render in my feed, but you've got me wanting to call you comrade. Smoke some weed and go outside for a while

    And here's a .worlder all butthurt because he remembers the time I called out his shitty instance on doing the exact same thing, and as history repeats itself, he feels embarrassed

    Do you feel like you should have to go through the gargantuan effort of blocking every single tankie sub on every single server you go to? Or do you think you can garner the stones to get at least one admin somewhere to do his damn job?

    Is that asking too much? Or would you rather hide behind me to justify defending scumbags literally spreading propaganda claiming the Tianamen Square massacre didn't happen because you don't like me and want to play tone police to express it?

    Because if me being angry about this is more of a serious problem to you than that, then there's a good reason why we label .worlders as alt-right dipshits and don't listen to you.

    My question is why you don't have your own instance set up the way you want. You seem to know what you want and have a myriad of opinions. Then again, if you had your own airtight instance who are you going to go histrionic on bickering about ideological purity so you feel better about yourself?

    You started off amusing and silly but now you're boring and honestly kind of gross with no sense of self awareness whatsoever. You and tankies both seem to have that in common.

    I think I'm gonna exercise the block function a bit more. Seeyas
