What is a tankie?
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support acts of repression by such regimes or their allies. More specifically, the term has been applied to those who express support for one-party Marxist–Leninist socialist republics, whether contemporary or historical.
Indeed, but this is more about admins banning users from the entire instance because they don’t share the same political views.
That’s fair. I appreciate that every instance host has the right to moderate their community any way they want however moderation rules should be clear and consistent. Banning people for posting respectful criticism of communism is inconsistent with the rules of lemmy.ml
.world does this all the time though, especially if you criticize Israel or Biden (or other CIA projects)
This would also be deeply problematic. I’ve seen it posted elsewhere, and asked the same thing:
Can you back this assertion up with any proof?
Yeah, I’ve had comments deleted and have seen others deleted that criticized Israel or that criticized Biden’s support of Israel.
So my own eyes have shown me that this is true. My own eyes have also shown me that .world is run by mods who push an agenda that conforms with the CIAs goals of domestic control over the US population. Which, if I wanted to read that midwit drivel, then I would’ve stayed on Reddit.
So you don’t have any proof?
I personally witnessed it. Which is proof.
What I don’t have proof of is that you’re a real person and not a CIA asset. Weird how you haven’t verified your identity to me yet. Something to hide?
I looked at your history: you were banned for calling people autistic as an insult, among other things.
There’s literally zero obligation for me to verify anything to you, and my identity doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation at hand.
Clearly I wasn’t banned if I’m commenting now. And saying that someone is autistic isn’t an insult. It’s the truth. And it’s very common among the userbase on here because this site’s users are disproportionately autistic.
If you don’t like that then maybe you’re autistic? Or have some rejection sensitivity disorder. Regardless, it isn’t an insult, it’s an accurate statement of a behavioral deformity
It’s interesting that you demand others verify things to you, yet you refuse to verify yourself. Makes it likely that you’re not a “real” person at all. You could verify that easily and yet you refuse to. Something to hide?
See, this is an example of bad faith interactions and bad trolling.
It’s also a good example of hate.
I hope you have the life you deserve.
Just report the ableism and move on. This person seems to think that everyone is a CIA operative and that autism is an insult.
Yeah, I figured that out after a little bit of interaction, but I prefer to give the other the benefit of the doubt when i start any conversation.
